Make Your own Parts

The Additive Manufacturing Certificate will augment students’ learning by coupling theory-based instruction with hands-on applications using state of the art software. The software includes, but is not limited to, SolidWorks, and Mastercam.

The student will practice 3D printing techniques with hands-on a large polymer, resin, and Metal AM systems. Students will obtain the skills by taking classes in innovation design, formal engineering design process, advanced critical thinking, project
management GD & T option, reverse engineering, 3D modeling, printing and scanning, and converting point cloud data to solids and inspections.

Graduates will be qualified to seek positions in the following fields: Additive Manufacturing Technician, 3D Printing Operator, 3D Designer, 3D Solid Modeler, Manufacturing Technician, Prototyping Technician, Production Technician, Reverse Engineering Technician, SolidWorks Designer, CAD Technician, Part Inspection Technician, CAD/3D Design Drafter, Detailer, Engineering Design Drafter, Engineering Drawing Checker, and Instructor.

Along with the Precision Machining Technology (053H) A.A.S. degree, this advanced certificate will put students in a good position for high-paying, in-demand careers.
