Stay Ahead in Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing is changing the way products are manufactured, opening opportunities for rapid turnarounds and massively customized short runs. Learn the skills and tools used in three key advanced manufacturing processes: additive manufacturing (3D printing), subtractive manufacturing (CNC), and composites (fiber and resin).

• Research the available advanced manufacturing technologies.
• Discover techniques to design and manufacture parts with advanced manufacturing processes.
• Explore the software and machines used in modern manufacturing.

• Course 1: Rapid Prototyping for Product Design
• Bring your product designs into the real world with rapid prototyping. Get a close look at the machinery and the techniques, such as 3D printing, machining, and injection molding.
• Course 2: Design for Additive Manufacturing: FDM
• Use design for manufacturing concepts to optimize your parts for 3D printing with fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology.
• Course 3: G-Code Programming for CNC Foundations
• Learn the basics of G-code programming. Learn how to cut real-world objects on a CNC machine using G-code routines.
• Course 4: Learning Fusion 360 CAM
• Learn how to use Fusion 360 CAM to prepare your 2D and 3D models for machining on CNC routers and mills.
• Course 5: Introduction to Composite Manufacturing
• Learn about composite manufacturing, including materials, manufacturing processes, and repair methods.
