Build digital skills. Share what works.

The workshop focuses on improving students' skills in preparing 3D printing data. Participants will learn about additive rules, optimizing models for printing, and basic 3D printer maintenance. The goal is to enhance print quality and understanding of the technical aspects of additive manufacturing, helping students with their final projects and other work.

Target: University students

You already know the CAD basics — now it is time to move into professional digital production. This three-day course takes you from the digital model to the finished workpiece: planning the machining, defining the toolpaths, verifying every detail in simulation, and safely operating the milling machine. Day 1 covers the fundamentals in the classroom: how milling works, how to choose tools and cutting parameters, how to design a part that can actually be machined on a 3-axis machine, and how to build, simulate and post-process a complete CAM job in Autodesk Fusion 360. Between the sessions, every participant prepares their own CAM jobs — one for aluminium and one for wood — as homework. Days 2 and 3 are spent at the machines in small groups: the DMG MORI M1 metal mill and the BZT PFU-S2 CNC wood router. Working from the safety and operating instructions of each machine, participants carry out every step themselves under supervision — workholding, setting the workpiece zero, checking their own G-code against the machine, starting and supervising the job — and produce their own designed parts in metal and in wood.

Target: General

A hands-on workshop where apprentices explore digital manufacturing technologies like 3D printing, laser cutting, and robotics. Participants design, build, and code their own robotic prototypes using Calliope mini controllers. The course promotes creativity, teamwork, and digital literacy through practical challenges. This workshop gives apprentices a comprehensive introduction to digital tools and manufacturing methods. They learn how to model in CAD, operate digital machines, and build functional prototypes. By completing a team-based robotics project, participants enhance their creative problem-solving, technical confidence, and digital skills. Assessment: Final presentation of the robotic prototype and group challenge. Material costs: €100 per participant
