I recently completed the DWP-funded 3D CAD Design and Additive Manufacturing skills bootcamp with 3D 360. Coming from a traditional manufacturing background, I wanted to transition my skills into digital design, and this course provided the perfect bridge. The training focused on practical, real-world applications using Autodesk Fusion 360, and through the online section of the course, they go through all aspects of tech from the start of computer history to modern AI uses. The instructors were very helpful throughout the whole experience, and you can tell they have a passion for the things they teach. The structure of the course gave me the skills and confidence to start designing my own independent projects and building an online portfolio. I highly recommend 3D 360 to anyone looking to modernize their technical skillset. Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic training program.Posted on Google![]()

I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in getting into 3D printing. I had online lessons followed by face to face lessons where I got to build my own 3D printer with the assistance of friendly and supportive staff. I can’t thank them enough for the opportunity.Posted on Google![]()

After completing their 10 day 3D Printing course, I can confidently say it was worth it. Lots of information and skills I didnt previously have, I can now use to create the things I've wanted to for a while. I hope to be able to go far in the future with these skills now.Posted on Google![]()
