3D Printing Training Programme

3D printing refers to the process of additively building a three-dimensional physical object from a digital model data (Computer Aided Design or scanned object) file by depositing and forming successive layers of material under computer control.

Training Programme Learning Outcomes

At the end of the programme participants should be able to:

draw a part/ object in 3D.
create a file for printing in a 3D printer.
identify some electronic components.
assemble simple circuits.
recognize the importance of algorithms and microcontrollers in Robotics.
add programming to microcontrollers.
understand the steps necessary to develop a robot.

The length of the programme will vary per individual, but normally it takes around 30 hours to complete, over a 5-month period.

On completion of the Programme a joint Kua Zone (Kenya), TFEP (UK), CEPROF (Portugal) Certificate of Competence will be provided to each participant.

Programme Description

The programme has been designed especially for any individual who has an interest in basic Robotics, and 3D printing, and as a way of upgrading their skills.

The programme is divided into five modules and will allow the acquisition of knowledge in the areas of Technical Drawing and Computer-Aided Design, 3D printing, Electronics and Microcontroller Programming.

This 38 page ‘Introduction to 3D Printing’ Guide that includes sections on:

WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?
THE WORLD OF 3D PRINTING
IMPACT OF 3D PRINTING ON INDUSTRY, WORK, EDUCATION AND SOCIETAL NEEDS
EMPLOYMENT AND 3D PRINTING
THREE-D-PRINTING AND EDUCATION
3D PRINTING – HARDWARE & SOFTWARE

This Report introduces 3D printing, outlining its uses, societal impact, employment prospects, implementation in training institutions, essential hardware and software, and practical tips.

FEE: USD $500 per student (minimum 5 students per class)

Purchase

To add value to the written Modules there will be a 1 hour ZOOM Support Session (in English) for each Module, provided by our Portuguese Partner CEPROF (Centros Escolares de Ensino Profissional) – a total of 5 sessions.

In order to complete the course participants must have access to a computer with Internet access and knowledge of English.
