3D Basics

This seminar is focused on processes in prototyping and data formats. A comprehensive and personalized introduction to the 3D world.

3D Modeling and 3D Visualization

This seminar will make you familiar with the basics of 3D modeling and further on provide you with an intensive training that will enable you to create print-ready 3D data.

3D Software

The choices and variety of 3D software are enormous. An introduction of 3D software will help you find out which one is the most appropriate for your requirements. Special software solutions we train intensively.

3D Data Optimization and 3D Finishing

Just as there is a great variety of different imaginable models, there is a great variety of users of 3D data: the development and construction industry, designers, model makers, product developers, health professionals as well as private individuals.
