Training
3D Print
 





Techjewel offers training courses for jewellers and designers.

The course consists of practice lessons. The student gains the necessary knowledge to model all kinds of pieces, being able to view them photo-realistically and verify them to print them in 3D.

Personalization

The course is given by the form of individual lessons, according to the needs of each student. This allows adapting to the requirements of each and everyone of the pupils. 


 

Duration

The estimated duration of the course is from 20 to 40 hours, depending on the previous knowledge on computer applications. If the student masters already other 3D programs like Autocad or 3D Studio Max, 20 hours will be enough. If the pupil makes his first contact with these programs, 40 hours will be necessary. 



Schedule
 

The schedule is designed according to the needs of the student. The most common timetable is to do 2-hour lessons 2 or 3 days per week. Weekly or weekend crash courses can also be implemented. In this case, a basis of an 8-hour working day won't be excelled. It is important to make a very early reservation in case of these crash courses. 


Price The price of the course varies depending on the number of hours required by the student (36 euros per hour). Special offers for students, schools of jewellery and company courses must be regarded too.
