TOP REVIEWS FROM 3D PRINTING HARDWARE
this is an excellent course. everything was perfectly scheduled and it is very useful.
Great. But It Was Only Verbally. It was Kind of Tough to Understand.
I was waiting for this course from more than a year, since i had completed all the other courses of this series, hope to learn a lot from this wonderful exciting course, thanks to the instructors.
only complaint is more there is of theory than practical illustrations.
