Education and training

are clearly important in the emerging field of materials in design. New materials and innovative products originate from existing knowledge and so education is the basis for everything that can be achieved. Any aspiring designer must take the earliest possible opportunity to start building knowledge of and experimenting with materials. For manufacturers it is important to make the materials of tomorrow known to the designers of the future. In-house training for companies will support design and engineering in exploring and finding new material solutions.

What can we offer you? A workshop, training or lessons, preceded by a lecture. Training sessions may run for one day to one week depending on your need. Sessions can also be made-to-measure for your company.
