Training models for the use of 3D printing technology in prison
3D Jail project further involves a training program for the training and development of trainers who are going to deliver the training program for inmates. Trainers are required to have basic computer, CAM and CAD skills. For the training of the trainers has also been planned an in-service training program to cover information on general characteristics of penitentiary institutions and inmates, use of the e-learning portal, and 3D printing.

Development of Training Paths
The competencies defined in IO1 report were taken as a reference to develop training paths for
trainers and inmates. The required and found competencies can be used for developing training
models of trainers and inmates. These competencies identified the scope of the requirements of
participants and how they need to be trained.
The following keywords have been identified to be included in all research and practices related to
training paths: Additive Manufacturer, support, CAM, CAD, Operating protocols, Educational teaching,
Vocational training, Transversal competencies, Verification evaluation, E-learning, and Network
system.
Have also been defined the following computer requirements, teaching programs and instructional
tips used in current practices.

In the European prisons, computer use is restricted to certain fields of use (i.e. communication, video
attendance, restricted online banking and clinical health care). In the UK and New Zealand, a system
called Virtual Campus is used for this specific purpose. The aim of training is to enable learners to get
connected to the global business network and to ensure the sustainability of training. Online
assessment is used in this program. the Prison Cloud software is used in Belgium. The cloud includes
the following: labor and education, leisure, health care and finance.
The e-learning platform to be used for the project needs to fulfill the following requirements:
● Adaptable to mobile devices
● Support educational continuum
● Support seamless transition
● Expand the reach of prison education
● Track educational attainment
● Support non-education functions
● Equip instructor
● Monitor student progress
● Incorporate blended-learning
