Additive Application Fundamentals

The additive manufacturing industry is continuing to grow and is set to more than double its market value in the next 10 years. As companies strive to keep pace in this fast-growing industry, there has been an uptick in the hiring rate of applicants with foundational expertise in additive and 3D design. Featuring DPT 100 and DPT 150, which are the fundamental courses of SCCs' additive manufacturing (AM) program, this program was developed to quickly and efficiently establish the skills needed for K-12 students, college students, and business professionals to implement advanced manufacturing methods and 3D printing effectively, no matter the career path or industry. These courses are offered in person and online to ensure anyone can attend, regardless of location.

Skills developed throughout this program include advanced manufacturing methods, materials, and their use cases, troubleshooting, safety procedures, AI utilization, topology optimization, finite element analysis, generative design, reverse engineering, cost analysis, and manufacturing optimization.

This certificate is also stackable if the student wishes to continue and receive our more extensive "3D Printing Technician - Level 1" certification.
