3D Certified User Training

This course is to take individuals from being beginners through to competent users of the UltiMaker 3D printer. To provide a good grounding for someone new to the UltiMaker 3D printer.

Objectives of the Programme Module

• The delegates will know the various parts of the 3D printer, will know the process from taking a design through slicing and how to set the slicing parameters through to being able to set up a print. They will know how to use the UltiMaker material selector for selecting appropriate materials for their print.
• The delegates will understand that different materials need different slicing settings and processing parameters, and the different types of supports required when slicing a model. They will understand the FDM process and how the UltiMaker has enhanced features to aid successful printing.
• The delegates will be able to orientate a model in the slicing software for printing and set up the slicing parameters and advanced slicing settings, they will be able to set up the printer for different materials, they will be able to perform the monthly, 3 monthly and yearly maintenance tasks on the 3d printer. They will be able to conduct basic troubleshooting on the printer and with unsuccessful prints.
