The Aachen Center for 3D Printing says that it now offers two full vocational training courses and degree programs at several partner universities.
The center is a research group funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) involving Fraunhofer ILT and Aachen University of Applied Science (FH Aachen). Researchers from the center aim to support companies as they make the move into 3D printing.
The Center offers a comprehensive training program and additional support as companies adopt the technology and features the FH Aachen’s FabBus, a converted double-decker bus with twelve 3D printers and space for up to eight trainees, allowing staff from the Center to offer courses at clients’ premises.
Companies also have access to a new XLINE 2000R by Concept Laser which has a build envelope of 800 x 400 x 500 mm³, and is currently the largest commercially available machine for the production of metal components.
