Results of the Questionnaire in North Moravia and Silesia district

This study delves into the results of a questionnaire focusing on rapid prototyping technology adoption in various industries in North Moravia and Silesia. The findings reveal the companies' lack of experience in rapid prototyping, indicating a need for professional development. While there is interest in skill upgrades, companies show hesitance in investing heavily. The research suggests a preference for in-house upskilling and university-level courses.
