Meilleurs avis pour THE 3D PRINTING REVOLUTION
This is very interesting course. You take this course for improve your knowledge about 3D printing. And to look at some unique products that has been made by some company.
The course was great! I think its a great point to start in 3d printing, it has lot of information, links, interviews and it easy to understand. Keep up the good work!!!
This first course has been an excellent overview of the field. Easy to follow and brought everything into "perspective" . Eagerly looking forward to the next course.
The course met my expectation as an excellent introduction to additive manufacturing. I enjoyed particularly the videos of company visits illustrating the broad applications of 3d printing.
