Additive Manufacturing Design Technology, A.A.S.

The Additive Manufacturing Design Technology (AMDT) degree path will augment students' learning by coupling theory-based instruction with hands-on applications using current software. The AMDT path software includes, but is not limited to, SOLIDWORKS, Insight, Materialise, NetFabb, Generative Design, Geomagic Design X, GOM inspect, and AutoCad. The student will practice 3D printing techniques with hands-on a large polymer and Metal AM system. AMDT students will obtain the skills by taking classes in innovation design, formal engineering design process, advanced critical thinking, project management GD & T option, reverse engineering, 3D modeling, printing and scanning, and converting point cloud data to solids and inspections. Additive Manufacturing Design Technology will undoubtedly revolutionize manufacturing and usher in a new wave of innovation.
