Welcome to the exciting world of Fusion360, the benchmark for 3D modelling and computer-aided design. At 3DTECHLAB, we're delighted to accompany you on this adventure of learning and exploration.
At 3DTECHLAB, we firmly believe in the power of hands-on learning. That's why, at the end of our advanced module, each participant will leave not only with enhanced modelling skills for 3D printing, but also with an essential tool for putting those skills into practice: their own 3D printer. Yes, you read that right!
At the end of the "Advanced Fusion360" training course, we're giving away a 3D printer worth at least €400 to all participants, enabling them to immediately deepen their passion, experiment and bring their projects to life. It's our way of thanking you for your commitment and encouraging you to continue your journey into the world of 3D.
