INSTRUCTORS

George

George oversees your CAD training. Before this he was in the engineering support for various major aircraft carriers able to pinpoint the right nut and bolt for most flying machines including the ones you have flown in. His academic background lies in the field of aerospace engineering, with an acute interest in computer-aided engineering. He is a keen promoter of aerospace careers to young people and away from the noise of engines, you will find him enthusiastically concentrating on his Fender guitar.

Achilleas

Achilleas, a visionary scientist and curious engineer, is the author of your 3D printing knowledge. Previously he has worked at various universities’ and national labs as a researcher in the fields of materials nanotechnology. His research expanded into numerous topics including spacecraft engineering, materials development and advanced manufacturing. If you do not want to talk to him about technology and educations, you can discuss his interest of photography and cuisine.

Frequently Asked Questions


How long does it take?
The course is taught online, ready for any device and at your own pace. We have created approximately 7+ hours of video content in addition to questions and tutorials. We estimated that you might need at least double the time to fully assimilate the knowledge.
Is the course mobile ready?
Yes! While the actual web platform is adaptable to any screen size, currently there is also an iOS app offered by Teachable Online Courses.
For how long will I have access to the course?
Depending on your purchase choice, for moment to complete the online content you have from one calendar month up to two, see pricing for details.
Will I have FREE access to all the tools I’ve been trained to use after I complete my course?
Yes, in addition all our partners offer paid upgrades options.
What can I do with this course?
hat you will learn is truly a practical technical skill; something you can use at home, your job and even to establish your own business. These are skills that will unquestionably upgrade your CV.
Why is CAD important?
CAD is a design tool and an absolute necessity to sketch in three dimensions. It is literally used to design and produce everything you see around you. What you do with it is up to your imagination, so go ahead and be creative!
What can I do with 3D printing?
3D printing is simply a great manufacturing tool, allowing your design to be built right before your eyes. Currently common plastics, metals and ceramics can be printed with more materials on the horizon!
Will I be able to 3D print during the course?
Unfortunately, this will not be possible at this stage but we are currently working on some great ideas.
Where can I buy a 3D printer?
There are hundreds of models used for home and industrial purposes, with prices ranging from few hundred £’s to few million £’s investment, thus choosing the right one will depend on your needs. For advice email us at education@4delta.co.uk
