1 day
Are you interested in 3D printing, but unsure how to build a clear and objective understanding? Whilst there is a wealth of information on 3D printing available online, quite often it can be overly complex, bias in the favour of certain technologies, full of hype and grandiose claims, or more often just plain boring.
At Rethink, we have built a concise, objective and engaging crash course in 3D printing, providing you and your colleagues all the information, insights, tools and contacts you need to build a complete understanding of what 3D printing is, and giving you the confidence to begin exploring, applying and investing in the technology with more confidence and direction.

Invest in a future-ready workforce, not just futuristic technology
all the knowledge to start your journey
Explore every angle of 3D printing to form a 360 degree understanding, from discrete 3D printing technologies and applications to economics, business value and industry case studies.
learn what you need to get started, fast
Rather than invest weeks or months assigning teams to research 3D printing, a one day crash course provides all the knowledge and insight you need to kick off your 3D printing journey.
Access a range of tools and resources
Learn to use and apply various 3D printing tools and guides developed by Rethink within your business to train other teams, validate ideas or assess technologies and applications.
process
A practical, engaging, fast-paced course
Take one day to learn everything you need about 3D printing. Divided into distinct modules, we cover 3D printing technologies, applications, business benefits and industry adoption. A combination of presentations, games, quizzes and challenges keep the day active and engaging, whilst participants progressively build their own 3D printing guidebook containing reference material, tools and guides to use after the course.
Set the objectives, agenda and introduce participants. Kick off with some warm-up games, then strap in for a quick 3D printing history lesson.
