Intermediate Additive Manufacturing
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 operation of at least one 3D printer, and an understanding 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.This is the second in a series of stackable credentials for Additive Manufacturing.
