I absolutely loved this course! There are a lot of hands-on opportunities to learn 3D printing, even if you do not own a 3D printer. I highly recommend this course, even if you do not have any experience with 3D printing. You will walk away with confidence.

My favorite class out of the STEM certification courses. It is practical knowledge that can save teachers a lot of time and frustration if they work with 3D printers in the classroom

After the lessons in this course, I feel so much more confident about my slicing and printing skills. I feel prepared to make 3D modeling and printing a more significant part of the curriculum. I know it will be easy to get kids excited to interact with and apply what I have learned, from those brand new to 3D printing to those who are printing a lot at home and are ready for additional challenges (photogrammetry!). Thanks Eric for your quick, personalized feedback and banter - what a refreshing experience with an online course!

This was the best course for a those who have beginner or advanced 3D printing skills. So much of the content filled in gaps in my understanding of 3d printing. I now have great resources to continue developing challenging and fun learning experiences for my students. Thank you Professor Westland it has truly been a delightful time.

Many of the authors cited in this course have written a book on 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Eric Westland wrote THE course on it! I took this course to learn more about 3D printing and to also organize my ideas and lessons I previously teach. I've incorporated many aspects of this course into my lessons and can see a better understanding from my students because of it. Eric is always available to answer your questions. I enjoyed every aspect of this class!

This is a great course for beginner and experienced 3D printer users. I now understand how to better modify settings when printing to achieve better results and feel more comfortable with experimenting. The additional tools introduced in the course were very interesting and I look forward to incorporating them in future lessons. The instructor, Mr. Eric Westland, was very knowledgeable and encouraging. He gives very timely feedback and grades and I highly recommend any class that he is teaching.

I think this is a well-developed course that wasn't loaded down with pointless busywork. I've learned a few new tricks for 3D printing and file manipulation that have definitely made this course worth the time and cost. I will certainly suggest it to other colleagues.

There's a lot in this course, and it was a little overwhelming for me to choose between modeling programs, slicers, learn Meshmixer, and how these are compatible with your 3D printer, if you have one. You don't need a printer for the course. Eric is excellent. He's very helpful.

I really enjoyed this course. Going in, I thought I knew a lot about 3-D Printing. I have learned so many new tools and lessons throughout the course. Many practical applications and activities I can take back to my classroom and install tomorrow. As always, Eric Westland is great. Thorough in his explanations/videos. If you ever have an issue with the content, he is willing to help and is quick on responding to e-mails. Usually within an hour or two, even when he's on vacation. A true professional! Thank you Mr. Westland for making my learning experience practical, hands on, engaging and fun.

This 3D Printing course was exactly what I needed to boost my knowledge and confidence enough to start using the 3D printer in my classroom. Within a couple weeks of this course, I felt ready to start using it with students, even though I still had a lot to learn. I highly recommend the class to anyone who has or is considering getting a 3D printer in their home or school!

This course was fantastic! I learned so much about 3D printing and all of the apps and programs you can use with it to get really good 3D models.The instructor was fantastic he tailored my learning to suit the grade levels I teach and helped me with my specific printer. I highly recommend this course to anyone who. wants to incorporate 3D printing into their curriculum. Terrific instructor and course for learning all things related to having a successful 3D printing program.
