3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping Technical Certificate

3PA1

Rapid prototyping and 3D printing is an emerging field that uses new technologies to model and construct physical three-dimensional objects by assembling thin layers of material under computer control. Our certificate program meets the critical training needs of the manufacturing industry in rapid prototyping and solid modeling. The program emphasizes solid modeling using industry software and utilizes 3-D printers, 3-D scanners and CNC machines for the solid modeling design process and development of the final product. Completing this certificate gives a graduate the technical expertise to support the planning, design and details for rapid prototyping.
