Additive Manufacturing

  • Additive Manufacturing Seminar

    $250.00
    Discover the principles of 3D printing, materials, and applications in the manufacturing industry. This half-day, introductory course is designed for anyone curious about how 3D printing works and how it’s applied in real-world manufacturing. Participants will explore fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology and gain a high-level understanding of print design, file preparation, and the economics of printing from concept to creation. Students will also prepare, slice, and kick off their own small print projects using state-of-the-art Markforged printers. With live demonstrations, expert tips, and take-home prints, this seminar offers an accessible entry point into the world of additive manufacturing. Friday, September 12, 2025
    12:00 pm - 4:30pm
  • Additive Manufacturing 1

    $625.00
    This course explores the principles and practical applications of additive manufacturing (3D printing) within industrial settings. Students will learn about common additive processes (FDM, SLA, SLS), material selection, design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), and post-processing techniques. Emphasis is placed on how additive technologies integrate with traditional manufacturing workflows to support rapid prototyping, tooling, and low-volume production. March 10 - April 2, 2026
    Tuesdays and Thursdays
    4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

    Additive Manufacturing 2

    $625.00
    This course builds on foundational additive manufacturing skills, focusing on advanced design strategies, multi-material printing, and the integration of additive processes into full-scale production systems. Students will explore complex geometries, simulation and validation tools, and material performance considerations. Emphasis is placed on industrial case studies, quality assurance, and optimizing additive methods for cost-effective, functional part production. Course Dates TBD
