This FREE online course consists of six modules and provides complete teaching materials for additive manufacturing (AM). Available in three languages — Slovenian, English, and German — the course is freely accessible to anyone interested in exploring this technology, whether as a first-time learner or someone looking to deepen their existing knowledge. Users can log in for the full experience or download materials directly for classroom use.

The course is structured across two levels, with two modules designed for beginners and four for advanced users, allowing learners to choose the path that best matches their background and goals. It is primarily designed for educators who want to bring 3D printing into their teaching, including secondary school teachers working with students aged 14 and above, vocational educators training future technicians and skilled workers, higher education lecturers at universities and colleges, and corporate trainers working with SMEs, start-ups, and apprenticeship programmes. The course is equally open to anyone curious about the wider world of additive manufacturing.

By providing classroom-ready resources alongside core subject knowledge, the course supports the adoption of AM technology in educational settings at all levels, in line with the EU’s commitment to encouraging younger generations to engage with STEAM professions.
