Additive Manufacturing for Industrial Applications: GORD 3D's 3D Printing Workshop - October 2025

GORD 3D, the leading 3D printing service in Qatar, is conducting a two-day comprehensive 3D printing workshop on additive manufacturing for industrial applications.

3D printing or additive manufacturing is largely revolutionizing the manufacturing industry across the world. As industries are increasingly embracing additive manufacturing to redesign their product processes, learning the fundamentals of the technology with practical insights is the need of the hour for aspiring engineers, manufacturing professionals, students and researchers.

Course Details

The GORD 3D Additive Manufacturing Workshop for Industrial Applications: 3D Printing Level 1 is scheduled for October 22-23, 2025. Registration for the workshop has already started.

This all-inclusive two-day course is deliberately designed to fill the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, taking the participating professionals on a journey from basic 3D printing concepts to advanced industrial implementations.

The Workshop Curriculum

The workshop starts with a deep dive into the fundamentals of 3D printing technology, letting the participants explore:

Introduction to 3D Printing

  • Comprehensive understanding of 3D printing definitions, principles, and key components
  • Historical perspective covering early developments, significant milestones, and modern applications
  • Cross-industry applications spanning healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and consumer products

The six advanced 3D Printing Technologies are an important part of the syllabus, covering both the basics and a comparative analysis of additive manufacturing methods:

  • Selective Laser Melting (SLM) – Precision metal printing for industrial applications
  • Bound Metal Deposition (BMD) – Advanced metal 3D printing solutions
  • Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) – Versatile thermoplastic processing
  • Extrusion Deposition Modeling (EDM) with Robotic Arm – Large-scale automated manufacturing
  • Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) – Powder-based printing technology
  • Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) – Entry-level professional printing

The second day of the workshop will focus exclusively on practical applications and hands-on experience with modern 3D printing machines, guided by GORD 3D’s veterans.

Design Considerations and Software Mastery

  • Conceptualizing and designing effective 3D models
  • Hands-on demonstrations with industry-standard software including SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Blender
  • Key factors for creating optimized 3D models for various applications

Reverse Engineering and 3D Scanning

  • Advanced 3D scanning techniques and principles
  • Data processing, conversion, and scan optimization
  • Real-world applications in industrial settings

Slicing and Print Preparation

  • Mastering slicing software fundamentals
  • Optimizing critical settings: layer height, infill patterns, and support structures
  • Step-by-step model preparation for professional results

Experience Innovation Firsthand at GORD 3D Labs

The 3D printing workshop will conclude with an immersive tour of GORD 3D Labs, where participants will:

  • Witness all six 3D printing technologies in action
  • Observe live demonstrations by industry experts
  • Gain insights into real-world industrial applications
  • Interact directly with additive manufacturing specialists
