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.

Introduction
IO2’s main objective is the definition of the entire training process necessary to carry out productive
activities with the use of 3D printers.
The innovation for IO2 is to graft these training practices into the prison context, identifying the
training specificities linked both to the type of recipients (prisoners) and to the objective conditions
of difficulties related to the operating environment in which to experiment (prisons).
Experimentation of training models designed in the previous design phase was necessary to provide
guidelines that were also the result of concrete experience.
Experiments have been undermined by the restrictions due to the Covid 19 pandemic (in 2020 and
2021), which has created many obstacles to projects and slowdowns but, on the other hand, has
offered the opportunity to analyze the implementation of courses even during bad situations.
The training program
The experience of the courses shows a substantial validity of what had already been planned.
However, some suggestions for improvement are given:
Trainees should have internet access and the path should include a training session on how to
find resources and information on the Internet.
