While the course promises a comprehensive guide to 3D design and printing, it falls short in several areas. The content lacks depth, particularly in advanced modeling techniques, often glossing over crucial details. Additionally, the hands-on experience with 3D printers is limited, leaving students ill-prepared for real-world applications. The certification provided feels inadequate, failing to reflect a true mastery of the skills taught. Overall, it needs significant improvements to meet expectations.
