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.
