Overview and Award Outcomes
Overview
The Additive Manufacturing Designer Certificate is for anyone interested in 3D printing. Students enrolled in either Engineering CAD or Interactive Design and Video Production would be able to create prototypes of their 3D work. The coursework is project based and emphasis will be placed on creating printable objects. Coursework will include 3D scanning, solid modeling, and finishing techniques to create professional models. Specific rules of designing for additive manufacturing will be used to ensure the best possible results for 3D printing. Elective courses can be selected to best suit each students special needs and interests. This certificate prepares students for entry level positions in model shops, 3D printing service bureaus, and engineering departments that use additive manufacturing.
