This Specialization will introduce you to the magic of 3D printing. Through a series of four cohesive courses, you will acquire the knowledge and skills to turn your ideas into objects and your objects into ideas. This course brings together a unique mix of academics and industry through partnerships with Ultimaker, a leading desktop 3D Printer manufacturer, and Autodesk, the leader in 3D modeling software.
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.
I loved it! I gained a lot of insight into the field and feel much more comfortable about starting to create new designs. Thanks well done!
This is the best course I have made on this year. This course give to you a chance to create objects from reality or just using your imagination. Enjoy this course, guys. Thank you for all.
ITS A VERY INFORMATIVE AND EXCELLENT COURSE FOR ALL BEGINERS .
Very introductory; maybe too much "business" oriented for an engineer. Yet, very interesting to get some background on 3D printing before actually learning to use the technology.
Excellent course, could do with a little more visual references. Some of the talks are a bit tough to get through since you are watching 2 people. Content still very valuable.
Great course. I enjoyed learning new skills. I learned allot about 3D computer modeling. I applied what I learned at my job and created a number of tools and assembly fixtures.
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.
This course is a great introduction into the industry that is 3D printing. Whether you are involved in business, engineering, design, or another career, I would definitely recommend this course.
It was good course giving brief insight of the 3D printing and different technologies involved in it. Very good course for the beginners.
A simple and intensive course to take you strongly to the heart of the best designing softwares. A great course for both professional designers as well as the beginners.
A great course to start with 3D printing architecture and be familiar with different types of 3D printers and process parameter before, during and after printing.

It is an amazing technology that has revolutionized the world. This course really help me in understanding the 3D printers working principle and much more. I really feel proud to learnt about it.
This course helped me in getting a better understanding of what are the uses of 3D printing and how it can be helpful in changing the ways we currently live.It also gave me reasons why I should take this field as a career.The course changed my view towards 3D printing from a whole different perspective.I am looking forward to choose this new field as my career.
This course is hopelessly out of date and either needs to be retired or rewritten to reflect current technologies.
Interesting but very outdated. I hate to say this, but I'm not sure it should still be on Coursera if it's not going to be updated to reflect current developments in 3D-printing. I know that's difficult since it's such a rapidly-developing field but that's my two-cents, thank you.
Out of date information. A requirement to post a video of yourself. No practical steps on how to accomplish tasks.
This course is a great introduction into the industry that is 3D printing. Whether you are involved in business, engineering, design, or another career, I would definitely recommend this course.
This was a great course, great implementation and motivation was provided which has definitely increased my enthusiasm and i am really looking forward to other courses to increase my skills.
This course is only for business majors - unless you've never heard of 3D printing you won't find anything new here.
More of a promotional course than a learning course. You could learn most of the content here by finding a good news article. Videos are short and slow, if you took out the intro to each video and play them at 1.25 speed(as to not fall asleep). You can complete this course in 2 hours and get great scores on the quizzes.
This course doesn't contain any new information. It does not teach you but just excitedly shows commonly known facts.
There are better ways to invest your time.
Several glitches in Thingiverse. The interface the faculty shows is outdated. And there's no response from the support staff or the faculty.
outdated and nearly obsolete instructional material. Information was presented at superficial level. Waste of my time and money
in the assignment they should have not made it mandatory about uploading video
It's not a course... this is a very short general introduction to 3D Printing
I did not really learn new technical skills.
Old and outdated information
I really like Aric's presence as a teacher. I enjoyed the video formats and being able to "go inside" all the different 3D-printing related places. It was fascinating to both hear and see all the insights and opinions to all the questions and topics.
I really enjoyed going inside all the different places visited. It was interesting to see the different set-ups of shops, machines, and equipment that were used. I particularly liked going inside Sector67 and Shapeways. I live in Wisconsin and visit Madison often and aside from seeing the Sector67 name at Maker-Faires, I have never been to there facility.
The tour of Shapeways was really eye-opening. I enjoyed the visual and audio combination in seeing all the possibilities that exist if I would want to print something in a more advanced material, higher resolution, or other quality that my personal 3D printer wouldn't be able to do.
Being able to both see and hear all of this through video really helped me absorb more and understand the processes better of the various places. I definitely feel like I have more of an insider kind of knowledge around 3D printing now.
Thank you Aric!
Great thanks for Dr.aric ,who has a smiley face ,If any one enrolled this course ,he would get a great knowledge and usefull information about 3d printing or addtive manufacturing ,throw a simple & exciting videos ,not only that ,you would get another benefits not only information about 3d priting ,like ,getting knowledge of many companies from the inside ,see stories of successfull people which achieves you to keep up with your work ,meet with your colleagues and make new friends ,and finally grow up your english skills ,like listening and grow up your vocabulary .....Great thaks for coursera team ,it's our pleasure to learn with you ........
This is a very basic course on 3D Printing Technology but every aspect of the technology is artistically explained. All the various points of view are considered and a 360 degree idea is passed on to the students.
By taking this course, students who are contemplating about their involvement in this revolutionary technology will be able to finally decide their future course of action, which I believe will be positive.
In short, this course will provide you a base whereas the further courses, I think (as I haven't taken up the rest of the courses till now but I intend to) will add sufficient value to your knowledge.
Regards.
