3D-LABS leading engineering firm since 2003, is proud to deliver industrial design training . We intend to deliver the best learning in experience.
This training is designed to prepare freshers for entry into a mechanical environment. Further training in the mechanical field would qualify the student as a mechanical technician in world’s oil and gas industry.

Provides real time training on Engineering design and live projects on the following categories.

Category – A
1. Piping draftsman = 2 weeks = 2hrs/day
