Additive Manufacturing | Training for Companies
Our practical knowledge from industrial 3D printing
Brinktec's 3D printing training courses are conducted by experienced instructors who work daily in industrial additive manufacturing . As a professional 3D printing service for industrial and safety-critical applications, we acquire our expertise not in classrooms, but through hands-on experience – working with real components under real-world conditions.
We pass on this internally developed practical knowledge to industrial and defense companies in a structured and comprehensible manner. Our training instructors have many years of experience in FDM, SLA and SLS , material selection, process stability, quality control, and the maintenance and availability of industrial 3D printing systems.
The focus is not on the theory of individual machines, but on the practical application of additive manufacturing in existing production and development processes . The training content is based on real-world projects from prototype construction, spare parts manufacturing, fixture construction, and small-batch production.
This approach provides participants not only with operating knowledge, but also with a sound understanding of the processes, risks, and economic limitations of industrial 3D printing. The aim of the training is to enable the safe, reproducible, and long-term cost-effective implementation of additive manufacturing within their own company.

Training Manager
In our 3D printing training courses, we don't just impart theoretical textbook knowledge, but rather the know-how that we, as a professional 3D printing service provider, apply daily in European industrial and manufacturing companies. Our goal is to make additive manufacturing safe, reproducible, and economically viable in Europe – from the first prototype to series production.

Manufacturer-independent 3D printing training courses
Our 3D printing training courses are deliberately designed to be manufacturer-independent . Brinktec does not train on individual machines in isolation, but rather imparts a deep understanding of the systems, processes, and operational limits of leading 3D printing platforms – tailored to real-world production requirements in industry and safety-critical environments.
We train users and teams for systems from the following manufacturers, among others:
- Pragostroj – industrial FDM systems, developed and manufactured in Europe
- Bambu Lab – high-performance desktop systems for prototyping and pre-series production
- Prusa – reliable, open FDM platforms for development and training
- Voron – modular CoreXY systems for advanced users
- RatRig – scalable high-performance FDM systems
- Elegoo – SLA and FDM systems for precision components
-
Creality – widely used platforms for beginners to production
Formlabs – professional SLA and SLS 3D printing systems for high-precision components, functional prototypes and small series with reproducible surface and dimensional quality
Our training courses are not geared towards marketing use cases , but rather towards operation, process reliability, material understanding, and reproducible results . We consider both industrial machines and prosumer-based systems , which are used in many companies as development or pre-production platforms.
The goal is to enable your employees to make safe decisions regardless of the manufacturer , to correctly evaluate printing parameters, and to integrate additive manufacturing economically and sustainably into existing processes.
