Two Day FDM Training Course

Our Stratasys approved FDM 3D printing courses are suited to any level of operator, from novice to those looking to deepen their understanding of FDM 3D printing. Courses include tips and tricks on how to maintain your FDM 3D printer to the highest standards, as well as in-depth training on the GrabCAD Print and Insight software commonly used by Stratasys 3D printer systems.

The duration of the course required is primarily dependent upon your 3D printer system. We offer FDM 3D printing courses both on location at the customer’s site and at our Laser Lines’ facility based in Banbury. Our FDM training courses are the perfect introduction for both new machine operators and customers completely new to the world of 3D printing.

The course comprises two days of training, giving a comprehensive overview of the 3D printing process, specific machine and software instructions, maintenance techniques and more. Our FDM 3D printing courses are aimed at machine operators, part designers and users of GrabCAD Print and Insight Software. It is a prerequisite that attendees have approximately three months of experience working with a Stratasys FDM system. They must have also completed installation training and possess a good working knowledge of CAD.
