TOP REVIEWS FROM THE 3D PRINTING REVOLUTION
For beginners, it is a good course. At the start I found boring, I think that was because I was having some knowledge regarding it. But, later on, it was informative for me.
The course met my expectation as an excellent introduction to additive manufacturing. I enjoyed particularly the videos of company visits illustrating the broad applications of 3d printing.
This is very interesting course. You take this course for improve your knowledge about 3D printing. And to look at some unique products that has been made by some company.
This course was very good. In our college we have 3D printer but teachers were not that much able to explain. But this course made me that able because of which I can teach to my juniors.
