Syllabus

Welcome to our 3D Printing in Biomedical Sciences course! This course is designed to provide you with hands-on experience working 

with 3D objects using state-of-the-art technology. 

From design to editing and printing, you'll master the fundamentals of 3D printing and explore its endless possibilities.

One of the unique features of this course is that you will have the opportunity to create your project and 3D print something real for your lab. 

It means you can turn your ideas into reality and see your project come to life with the guidance and support. 

You will also have access to the latest 3D printing systems, allowing you to gain hands-on experience and learn from the best.

 

Our course combines lectures, inspiring demonstrations, and hands-on lab exercises to provide a comprehensive learning experience. 

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, you'll gain valuable knowledge and skills that will allow you to bring your ideas to life.
