Introduction to 3D printing technology

Objectives

Acquire knowledge of 3D printing technologies and identify the basic components and their different functionalities and the basic operating characteristics of 3D modelling design software.

Priority groups

• Women registered with the SOC, primarily those who are unemployed, who want to improve their digital skills with the aim of increasing their chances of finding a job.
• Participants, whether unemployed or employed, must be registered in the SOC Work Offices.
• The percentage of employed women who can participate is 30%.
• Women affected by an ERTE may also participate, and they do not count as employees.

How to register

To complete the registration, it is essential to fill out the form found under the “Registration” button, attach the required documentation, and complete the pre-registration document “Annex,” which must also be included.

• Photocopy of a valid DNI or NIE
• Photocopy of the updated Dardo (application document for unemployment benefits from SOC, only if you are unemployed)
• Photocopy of the updated work life document if you are employed.
