The INS Manolo Hugué has already implemented 3D printing and 3D scanners in its classrooms.

About INS Manolo Hugué

The INS Manolo Hugué of Caldes de Montbui has been offering quality secondary education, high school and vocational training for almost 50 years. With around 700 students a year, the institute promotes comprehensive development of students through an educational approach based on critical thinking, personal autonomy, and respect to prepare them for adulthood, promoting the values and skills to facilitate their integration into society and the workplace.

The challenge of integrating 4.0 technologies in Vocational Training.

Along with the INS Manolo Hugué, we faced the challenge of preparing students for the changing requirements of modern industry, shaped by the fast-evolving Industry 4.0. A need arose to equip students with the necessary skills required to succeed in a highly technological and digitized work environment.

Technological solutions provided:

— 3D printers

In response to this challenge, we implemented an innovative solution integrating 3D printing in the teaching and learning process at the INS Manolo Hugué. This technology enables students to explore and compare conventional manufacturing processes with 3D printing, thus promoting their understanding and adaptability in an ever-changing industrial environment.

— 3D scanners

With our support, the INS Manolo Hugué took a step forward by introducing 3D scanning into its educational program. This cutting-edge technology enables students to accurately capture geometries with exceptional precision, preparing them for future requirements in component design and manufacturing.

The result: preparing digital professionals for the future

Our collaboration in integrating advanced technologies into vocational training helps graduate students of the INS Manolo Hugué to be equipped with cutting-edge digital competencies. From now on, they are ready to face the challenges of the modern labor market and contribute to the progress of industry 4.0.

INTECH3D's 3D consulting process

At INTECH3D we are advisors and business consultants in the integration of additive production technologies into companies's value chains. We are responsible for the correct integration of the equipment in the value chain of each company or business:

• Advice during the choice of the right technology.
• Commercialization of equipment, consumables, and spare parts.
• Training for the use of the necessary hardware and software.
• Maintenance of the integrated equipment.
• Official technical service for all marketed products.

Our technical team has more than 6 years of experience in various 3D printing technologies. We have different technologies and materials for manufacturing with 3D printing, to cover the different technological or business needs of each sector:

• Conceptual prototypes
• Functional prototypes
• Final components
• Workshop tools
• Spare parts
• Short and medium production runs.

It is also crucial that all departments of the same company are aware of all the possibilities and benefits that 3D printing can bring to their sector:

• Reduced manufacturing risk
• Reduced manufacturing costs
• Reduced manufacturing time
• Validation with a prototype before investing in final manufacturing
• Manufacturing “on demand”, without material scrap.
• Reduction of the “Time to Market” of the final product.
• Bridge series manufacturing to know its market fit.
• Possibility of short production runs
• Elimination of time in the supply of stock.

If you want to apply 3D printing technology in your company or business, don't hesitate to contact us. We are at the service of companies for immediate resolution of any doubts or questions related to the use of the equipment.
