GUIDING YOU THROUGHOUT INDUSTRY 4.0

who are 3d 360?

“Breaking the Mould”

3D 360 is born out of industry and the realisation that 3D printing is the future of manufacturing and is changing the way things are made today.

3D 360 is owned and run by two vastly experienced engineers from the Nuclear, automotive, and commercial design sectors. Both have many years’ experience providing consultancy services to the engineering and manufacturing sectors and in utilising 3D printing within industry for prototyping and production applications.

The 3D 360 support ethos comes from our extensive experience within industry in supporting equipment through its entire product life cycle, and not just stopping at selling you a printer.

Our aim is to support you and your equipment through its life, offering ongoing advice on how to achieve the best results from your printer.

Packages

3D 360 were advisors to the High value manufacturing catapult for the government commissioned Emerging skills Project for AM and are the only UK training provider to deliver the entire pilot training programme.

The UK Government commissioned the programme to identify key digital skills gaps and produce short and effective training programmes to rapidly upskill the UK workforce.

We are also working with Pearson’s to write the 2023, level 4 & 5 (HNC & HND) further education curriculum for AM.
