Earning Criteria

Completion of the course: Digital Thread Concepts and Value Proposition - Develop an awareness of the digital thread (DT), model-based engineering (MBE) and model-based definition (MBD) . Through this training you will understand & be able to describe the value proposition to your organization for adoption of MBE, MBD and the digital thread. Also you will be able to describe why source validation and characteristic accountability are important to the downstream consumption of MBD.
Completion of the course: CCAT Next Gen Tech Data Packages & MBD Workflows - In this course you will develop an intermediate awareness of the digital thread and model-based definition (MBD). Become familiar with technical data packages (TDP), the common file types, and the role, use and definition of derivative files. You will also be able to describe how to ensure the quality of the derivative files through validation and how MBD workflows affect the development process
Completion of the course: Overview of Setup and Programming of a 3-Axis Milling Machine - In this course you will develop entry-level skills in set-up of a 3-Axis Milling machine and basic skills in defining toolpaths and tool selections for milling. Also you will be able to describe methods of CAM programming, including existing manual methods and automated methods using PMI and MBD data
Completion of the course: Automating Setup and Programming of 3-Axis Milling Machines for MBD - In this course you will develop advanced skills in auto-generating tool paths in CAM software using geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T) and geometry definition supplied as part of an MBD file. Additionally, you will be able to describe the digital thread from computer workstation to milling machine.
Completion of the course: Overview of Additive Manufacturing Processes and Workflows. In this course you will develop entry-level skills to describe current additive manufacturing processes and their industry use cases. Also you will be able to describe additive manufacturing workflows and current methods.
Completion of the course: Additive Manufacturing, Automation & MBD Applications. In this course you will develop advanced skills to describe additive manufacturing methods and use cases. You will also be able to set-up and 3D print and describe the current landscape of additive manufacturing and MBD, and where the industry is advancing to support MBD and digital thread implementation.
Completion of the course: Process Authoring with a Digital Twin Platform. In this course you will gain the skills to describe automated workflow of data collection from people, machines, and sensors to build digital audit trails for processes. Additionally, you will be able to use software to collect and quality check processes.
Completion of the course: Using Mixed Reality to Create Work Instructions for Design. Gain the understanding to describe the role and use cases of mixed reality in manufacturing and create work instructions in mixed reality. Additionally, be able to test, validate, and edit mixed reality work instructions for production use.
