First Cycle of 3D Printing Training Successfully Completed at the Green Skills Coworking HUB in Kakanj

The first three-day cycle of 3D printing training was successfully completed at the Green Skills Coworking HUB in Kakanj, as part of the activities of NEXFAB – the Innovation Centre for Technologies, Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Production. Upon completion of the training, participants were awarded certificates in recognition of the knowledge and practical skills they had acquired.

During the three-day training, participants had the opportunity to learn about the fundamentals of 3D printing technology, the use of modern equipment and the practical applications of this technology. The training was delivered using three modern 3D printers and led by Ajdin Kovač, a mechanical engineer.

Through hands-on activities, participants explored the different stages of the 3D printing process, from the initial idea to the production of tangible objects and prototypes. In this way, they gained practical experience that they can apply in further education, professional development and the realisation of their own ideas.

The strong interest shown by local residents in this type of training is particularly encouraging, highlighting the importance of making practical training opportunities and modern technologies accessible within the local community. A second cycle of training is already planned, while additional training programmes in CNC technology and robotics are expected to be organised in the coming period.

NEXFAB activities will continue with further development and improvement of the initial prototypes created during the training. Participants will have the opportunity to continue working in teams, exchange ideas and develop practical solutions using modern technologies.

Green Skills Coworking HUB – A Space for Developing New Knowledge and Skills

This training represents one example of the practical use of the Green Skills Coworking HUB, established within the framework of the SteelCityZen project. The HUB provides opportunities for training, cooperation, knowledge exchange and skills development, with a particular focus on green and digital skills, which are becoming increasingly important for the transformation of labour markets and the economy.

Activities of this kind create opportunities for citizens, young people, women, entrepreneurs and local businesses to enhance their knowledge, explore new technologies and develop the competencies needed to adapt to changes in the labour market.

The SteelCityZen project – Diversifying labour markets in industrial cities of the Danube Region via enhanced stakeholder and skills matchmaking to support local transitions and promote long-term sustainable development/cooperation and social economy – is funded through the Interreg Danube Region Programme, co-financed by the European Union.
