3D Gens has entered into a collaboration with Politeknik Shah Alam to establish a comprehensive additive manufacturing capability at the institution. The partnership encompasses three interconnected elements: curriculum module development, AM lab setup, and hands-on training — ensuring that the investment in infrastructure is matched by the educational content and practical experience needed to make it effective.
Curriculum That Reflects Industry Reality
One of the most common failures in technology-focused education is a curriculum that lags behind the industry it is meant to prepare students for. 3D Gens' involvement in developing training modules for Politeknik Shah Alam ensures that the content reflects current industry practice — not just established theory, but the operational realities, process considerations, and application contexts that employers actually care about.
Modules developed through this collaboration draw on 3D Gens' experience across multiple AM technologies and application sectors, creating a foundation that is both technically rigorous and practically grounded.
A State-of-the-Art Lab
The lab setup at Politeknik Shah Alam goes beyond installing machines. 3D Gens brings its experience in designing functional AM environments — considering workflow layout, safety requirements, equipment configuration, and the supporting infrastructure that makes a lab genuinely productive.
The result is an environment where students can work in conditions that mirror professional practice, not just a demonstration space where technology is observed rather than used.
Hands-On Training
Completing the package is structured hands-on training, where Politeknik Shah Alam students gain direct, guided experience with the equipment in the new lab. Under 3D Gens' tuition, students progress from fundamentals to practical project work — leaving the programme with skills they can immediately apply.
