Intermediate Additive Manufacturing
Overview
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, and knowledge of various additive manufacturing technologies. A student must first earn the Basic Additive Manufacturing micro-credential and be a Certified SolidWorks Associate in Additive Manufacturing.
