Overview

Ready to achieve your creative and career goals? Unlock your full potential and increase your employability by upskilling with London Software Training.

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created.

In our state of the art 3D printing course, you will learn the ins and outs of this exciting new technology. Our training will not only give you the skills to operate a 3D printer but also model your own 3D designs. We have five 3D printers that you will be learning how to operate.

You will be taught how to design models for architecture, jewellery, products, engineering or any other creative pursuit using 3D software. You will also learn how to use a 3D printer and insider knowledge on the current state of the industry and its future capabilities.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
