Use Software for Creation

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.

Along with the Precision Machining degree this advanced certificate will put students in a good position for high paying, in demand careers.
