Intermediate Additive Manufacturing

Program Goals & Outcomes

This is the second in a series of stackable credentials for Additive Manufacturing. To achieve intermediate-level proficiency, a student has demonstrated:

  • A thorough understanding of 3D CAD software.
  • A complete understanding of best practices for operating at least one 3D printer.
  • Knowledge of various additive manufacturing technologies.

All micro-credentials are fully stackable with all other academic programs, allowing students to build customized pathways toward certificates, associate degrees, or even bachelor’s degrees.

Prerequisites

A student must first earn the Basic Additive Manufacturing micro-credential and be a Certified SolidWorks Associate in Additive Manufacturing.

  • 3D Printing
  • Additive Manufacturing Simulation
  • Additive Manufacturing Software
  • Advanced CAD Design
  • Advanced Slicing Techniques
  • Composite Materials
  • Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
  • Hybrid Manufacturing
  • Manufacturing
  • Printer Calibration and Tuning
  • Quality Assurance in AM
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Safety Protocols Implementation
  • Support Structure Optimization
  • Thermal Management in Printing
  • Import and modify a 3D CAD model using the model’s native software. Create at least one model with parametric design or with features not entirely flat or circular in motion.
  • Describe orally the standard maintenance procedures required for sustained operation of at least one Additive Manufacturing technology.
  • Utilize advanced slicer software settings and correctly modify a minimum of two settings in the software.
  • Complete the Additive Manufacturing 201 course with a grade of C or better.

After completing this micro-credential, you will receive a digital badge to showcase your skills. This badge highlights your ability to perform intermediate additive manufacturing tasks effectively.
