Big news! We're a sponsor and exhibitor at TCT 3Sixty 2026 at the NEC Birmingham next week and we cannot wait!

Heading to the NEC? Come and find us on the stand. Here's why you should stop by:

Whether you're just getting started with additive manufacturing, about to invest in new equipment, or want to get more from the machines you already have, the question is always the same: do your team actually know how to use it?

We get teams up and running in days, not years. Hands-on 3D printing, 3D CAD and additive manufacturing training for industry, and our training programmes even include a FREE 3D printer so your team can hit the ground running from day one

Join us at the NEC Birmingham, Hall 8 Stand CC50B from June 2 to June 4, 2026. We also offer government-funded, subsidised, and employer-funded training options.

Today is World Creativity and Innovation Day!

Creativity and innovation drive progress, create new possibilities and help industries respond to change with confidence.

They are part of what we do every day through advanced manufacturing, 3D printing and award-winning training that helps people and businesses move forward across manufacturing, electric vehicles, the nuclear sector and more.

We're heading to MACH 2026 and we're not travelling light.

STEM Truck. G-Wiz. Robot dog arena. Live 3D printing on the stand. Hands-on demos.

The spectacle is just the hook. What's behind it is a training business built on a simple idea. The skills your organisation needs shouldn't take years to acquire. We train educators and industry professionals at every level in 3D printing and 3D CAD, practically, in days, with skills they can apply in the workplace from day one.

Over 2,500 learners have been through our programmes. 80% go on to progress in their chosen field. Audited figures. And 100+ five-star Google reviews.

MACH attracts over 26,000 people and 45% of them don't attend any other exhibition. So, if you're in education, advanced manufacturing, nuclear or EV and you're thinking about skills and capability, this is where that conversation happens.

Find us in the E&D Zone, NEC Birmingham, 20 to 24 April.

We did it. 🏆

Last night, 3D 360 Skills Training was named winner of the People Power Award, Skills Leading Change at the National Skills Academy Nuclear - NSAN Skills Awards, and we are still taking it in.

Five years ago we started this business with a simple belief: skills are not a box to tick, they are the whole point. Last night that belief was recognised on a national stage, supported by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, and we could not be more proud.

But this award does not belong to just us. It belongs to every learner who backed themselves, every employer who opened their doors, every school that let our STEM Truck pull up outside, and every partner who has been part of the journey.

Thank you to NSAN for a brilliant evening and to everyone who has cheered us on along the way. The best is still to come...

Five years in the making. 22 international awards. One BAFTA. And 3D 360's name in the film's credits.

Two Black Boys in Paradise is a stop-motion short produced by One6th Animation Studio, a Manchester-based firm, and it just won the 2026 BAFTA for British Short Animation. We couldn't be more proud of the role our training and our printers played in bringing it to life.

We 3D printed the eyelids, lips on our resin SLA printers at our da Vinci House Head Office, working in collaboration with Rebecca Albrecht at Rebz FX - Special & Visual Effects Artist. Rebecca is a former 3D 360 learner who spent around six months with us before going on to do exactly this kind of work.

We also trained animators at both One6th Animation and Mackinnon & Saunders through our funded 3D Printing and 3D CAD programme. If the name Mackinnon & Saunders rings a bell, it should. They're the studio behind Co**se Bride, Fantastic Mr Fox, Disney's Pinocchio, Bob the Builder, Pingu and more.

Our trained 3D printers made props that feature in the film and appear in its production summary video.

The film was also nominated for Best British Short Film at the British Independent Film Awards. Now available on Channel 4.

This is why we invest in skills and shows the positive impact that can have.

Manchester, we're coming for you! 🐝

We're showing up as Gold Sponsors at this weekend - the UK's largest 3D Printing Festival, at The Dalton Building, The Manchester Metropolitan University.

The festival is organised by the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation - SMF, a charity dedicated to supporting neurodivergent young people in engineering and STEM. It's a privilege to be able to continue supporting such a worthy cause.

The Sanjay Mortimer Foundation exists to open doors for neurodivergent young people in STEM. At 3D 360, we share that belief that talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn't.

Skills gaps in Advanced Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are real. They're growing, and holding individuals and businesses back. That's exactly the problem 3D 360 exists to solve, through free or heavily subsidised hands-on training in 3D Printing, 3D CAD, AI, Robotics, Automation and more!

The numbers tell the story: 2,200+ learners through our funded programmes, 80%+ career progression, 100+ five-star Google reviews and counting.

Come and visit us on our stand this weekend, where you can:

✅ See a range of 3D printed items up close
✅ Watch live demos
✅ Take advantage of exclusive show discounts on 3D printers and upgrades

Whether you're just getting started or looking to level up your setup, there will be something for you.

Tickets still available: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/smrrf-2026-the-uks-largest-3d-printing-festival-tickets-1371179407519

A 3D printing & STEM festival with a cause. All proceeds will go to the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation (SMF).

Less than one week to go. We're finalists at the National Skills Academy Nuclear - NSAN Skills Awards.

It's been quite a journey since we founded 3D 360 in 2020 with a simple mission - close critical skills gaps and make advanced technology accessible to people and communities who need it most.

Next week, that mission gets recognised on a national stage as proud finalists for the People Power Award - Skills Leading Change at the NSAN Skills Awards, and we couldn't be more excited.

Since day one, we've believed that skills are social value. Not a box to tick - the whole point.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

✅ 2,200+ learners through fully funded programmes
✅ 80%+ securing employment or career progression
✅ 600+ businesses upskilled across advanced manufacturing, EV & nuclear
✅ £350,000+ of 3D printers gifted to businesses and individuals
✅ 375,000 school children gaining access to digital manufacturing resources and skills.
✅ 62,600 live views of our Career Friendly STEAM careers talk for KS2/KS3 students and educators - now available on demand
✅ £2.5M+ in independently verified social & local economic value

That 62K+ live broadcast stat still blows us away. That's the power of technology to scale social value in a way traditional outreach simply can't match.

Our L.I.F.T. turnkey social value programme takes that thinking further, delivering 16x more measurable impact than traditional outreach and reaching 28,000 students over its lifetime, with partners including Sellafield Ltd, NUVIA and Eclipse Energy.

From funded Sklls Bootcamps covering Advanced Manufacturing and Nuclear Project Management, creating clear pathways into nuclear project delivery roles to our STEM Truck taking cutting-edge technology into communities that would otherwise never see it, everything we do is designed to leave something behind that lasts.

To every learner, employer, school, and partner who's been part of this... this recognition is yours too. 🙌

Fingers crossed for next week. Watch this space. 👀

It's National Careers Week and this is good opportunity to highlight the in-demand skills shaping modern industry.

As sectors continue to evolve, there is growing demand for people with skills in areas such as 3D printing, CAD, cybersecurity, digital technologies, electric vehicles and nuclear project delivery.

At 3D 360, our Skills Bootcamps are designed to help people build practical, industry-relevant knowledge across these areas. Open to employed, self-employed and unemployed learners, the programmes support those looking to develop new skills, progress in their current role or move into priority sectors.
