Course Description: This course is designed to develop skills around the cycle of advanced manufacturing from 3D modeling to production. Emphasis will be placed on developing basic safety skills, trade math, and the industry terminology, history, and future. These areas of instruction will be reinforced by hands-on application in several performance lab exercises.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Practice safety skills that are required on job-sites.
- Explain the basic principles of 3D modeling used in advanced manufacturing.
- Describe the principles of manufacturing 3D models.
- Identify the major reasons that manufacturers use 3D modeling software prior to building a prototype.
- Convert units of measurement from gauge thickness to decimals, and vice-versa.
