About: A Re-skilling / Up-skilling programme in ten emerging technologies for Senior Govt. officials in policy- and decision- making roles like Govt. secretaries, officers, senior engineers, architects, scientists, etc. under Future Skills PRIME project by MeitY, Govt. of India in collaboration with NASSCOM.

Objective: 3D Printing is an emerging technology showing potential to reach new markets and create new jobs. Students who complete this programme should be able to:

1. Demonstrate the viability of utilizing Additive Manufacturing technology to develop product prototypes
2. Develop skills to allow for prototype models for a range of products to be produced

Why 3DPAM: 3D printing becomes more and more common, it'll become easier and easier for inventors and creatives to turn their ideas into realities. 3D printing already makes it far easier for inventors to produce prototypes. In the future, the manufacturing process could be carried out by 3D printing as well. 3D Printing is an emerging technology showing potential to reach new markets and create new jobs. Students who complete this programme should be able to:

1. Demonstrate the viability of utilizing 3D printing technology to develop product prototypes
2. Develop skills to allow for prototype models for a range of products to be produced
3. Develop skills for CAD modeling

The broad implementation model of GoT entails that the programs are carried out in collaboration with government organizations. The beneficiary government institute would identify in a list the technical manpower to be trained in corresponding future technologies based on envisioned training objectives and the anticipated future plan of the organization. Based on the needs as elaborated by beneficiary government institute, Resource Centre (Lead/ Co-Lead) may customize the future skilling programme to suite the target beneficiaries in the respective organization.

Fees, Mode and Duration: The duration of the program is 40 hrs. (Approx. 2 weeks). The training programme will be conducted in 100% online mode and has been scheduled from 11^th May 2022. The programme fee is funded under the Future Skills PRIME Project, sponsored by MeitY, Govt. of India. There is an option for Offline hands on session between 20^th May and 24^th May 2022.
