Digital Built Environment (BIM) to Fabrication

The Digital Built Environment: Fabrication & Manufacturing Skills Bootcamp offers a dynamic and practical training experience designed to equip individuals with cutting-edge digital construction and manufacturing capabilities.

Our 10-week programme provides a unique opportunity for businesses to upskill their workforce in Building Information Modelling (BIM) and emerging technologies that are reshaping the built environment. Participants will gain hands-on experience across the full digital design and fabrication process, from parametric 3D modelling to prototype development through digital fabrication, while exploring the use of computational methods to visualise and coordinate complex projects before any physical construction begins.

Our Skills Bootcamps combine subject knowledge with practical application, allowing learners to apply their learning directly back into their role and organisation to enhance their capabilities and create immediate impact.
