CICU Distributes ASDC-Approved Certificates to 52 Students After Successful Completion of Basics of 3D Printing Course

Ludhiana, November 12, 2026: The Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings (CICU), Ludhiana, continues to strengthen its commitment towards youth skill development and industry-oriented training. In this direction, CICU successfully distributed Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC)-approved certificates to 52 students who completed the Basics of 3D Printing course at CICU Focal Point, Ludhiana. 
The course was conducted under CICU CSR Skills Development Initiative and was affiliated with the Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC), New Delhi, a recognised skill development organisation working towards developing a skilled workforce for the automotive and manufacturing sectors. The primary objective of this training programme was to equip students with practical knowledge and industry-relevant technical skills in emerging manufacturing technologies. 
During the course, students received comprehensive practical exposure to various aspects of 3D technology, including: 3D Designing through SolidWorks: Students learned computer-aided designing (CAD), developed 3D models of different mechanical components, and understood the fundamentals of industrial product design. 3D Scanning: Students gained hands-on experience in 3D scanning technology and learned how physical objects can be converted into digital 3D models for further designing and manufacturing applications. 3D Printing: Students learned the fundamentals of additive manufacturing, understood the working principles of 3D printers, and gained practical experience in converting digital designs into physical products. The training programme provided students with an opportunity to understand the complete workflow, starting from conceptualisation and 3D designing to scanning and final product development through 3D printing. This practical exposure helped students develop technical confidence, creativity, problem-solving abilities and an understanding of modern industrial manufacturing processes.
During the certificate distribution ceremony, Honey Sethi, General Secretary, CICU, distributed the ASDC-approved certificates to all 52 successful students. He congratulated the students on their achievement and encouraged them to utilise the technical skills acquired during the programme to explore better career opportunities in the manufacturing, automotive, engineering and design sectors. 
Upkar Singh Ahuja, President, CICU, extended his blessings and best wishes to all the students. He appreciated their dedication and participation in the training programme and emphasised the importance of acquiring practical and industry-oriented skills in today's rapidly evolving technological environment. He also appreciated CICU's efforts in providing quality skill development opportunities to young students and preparing them to meet the requirements of modern industries. He further encouraged students to continue learning new technologies, enhance their technical capabilities and remain updated with the latest developments in advanced manufacturing and digital technologies. CICU has been actively working towards bridging the gap between academic education and industrial requirements through its Skills Development Initiative. By providing access to advanced laboratories, modern equipment, industry-relevant software and practical training facilities, CICU aims to make students more employable and industry-ready. 
The successful completion of this programme and certification of 52 students marks another important milestone in CICU's efforts to promote technical education, practical learning and employment-oriented skill development among youth.
