关于项目
现代制造业供应链, along with companies in industries as diverse as aerospace, 消费产品, and bioscience are embracing additive manufacturing (AM) aka 3D-Printing. 然而, successful adoption of AM requires companies to rethink the way they “do business” within the manufacturing arena. Successful adoption of AM requires management level personnel to consider how to acquire/install new AM machinery & 设备,开发 & 吸引人才, 管理公司员工, 研究所质量控制, 材料科学, 以及日常运营中的数据管理.
This non-credit certificate program will provide participants with the knowledge and experience required to successfully implement additive manufacturing in a way that creates new and enhanced value for their organizations.
证书的要求
Classes will be delivered via video technology and will allow students to participate via home or work computers. The program also includes a limited number of labs that will be scheduled at a Penn State campus on a Saturday.
获得证书, students must satisfactorily complete the four required courses and labs with a final grade of “C” or higher:
- 增材制造设计(AMD 5000)
- 增材制造基础(AMD 5001)
- 增材制造工艺(AMD 5002)
- 增材制造材料(AMD 5003)
Students not seeking the certificate are welcome to register for individual courses to increase specific workforce development.
职业潜力
我们在雷丁有几家制造公司, 在PA地区寻找增材制造的人. They are looking for applicants with experience in 3D Printing as well as those that can consider the advantages or disadvantages for the company.

Joseph Sinclair是Solid Dynamics的创始人, 有限责任公司, 一个成功的快速成型公司在中央PA. Joseph has spent years in the trenches of the Additive Manufacturing industry with positions at institutions that include Penn State’s Applied 研究 Laboratories CIMP-3D Facility and Imperial Machine and Tool Company. 在Solid Dynamics, 有限责任公司, he spent most of his time learning the strengths and weaknesses of his fleet of 3D-Printers to better understand where improvements could be made. 这导致了Solid Innovations的诞生, 有限责任公司 and the first version of what has now become PerceptEngine, the Additive Manufacturing industry’s first automated monitoring platform. Joseph is currently working towards his Master of Engineering in Additive Manufacturing and Design at 十大正规赌博平台大全.
课程
增材制造设计(AMD 5000)
Additive manufacturing offers tremendous flexibility in designing parts and new designs. This course will use Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM or DFAM) as an approach for understanding how to best utilize additive manufacturing. It is a general type of design method or tool whereby functional performance and/or other key product life-cycle considerations such as manufacturability, 可靠性, and cost can be optimized subjected to the capabilities of additive manufacturing technologies. The course will explore design methods for additive manufacturing including specific applications by industry and differences from subtractive manufacturing.
增材制造基础(AMD 5001)
This course introduces students to the history and development of additive manufacturing as well as current technology, 市场的格局, 新兴趋势和商业模式. It will also explore processes with a focus on the fundamentals of sintering and fusion of 金属, 陶瓷, 和聚合物. 除了, it will focus on issues related to the materials used in each process and any additional considerations specific to those materials.
增材制造工艺(AMD 5002)
本课程将提供基础知识的学习, 工艺特点, 经济学, and practical applications of various additive manufacturing processes. A comparison of conventional manufacturing to additive manufacturing will be provided. Upon completion students will understand the basic steps involved in creating a product created via additive manufacturing.
增材制造材料(AMD 5003)
This course will expose students to the state of the art in understanding processing, 结构, and property relationships in materials fabricated using additive manufacturing. Materials used in additive manufacturing include polymers, 金属, 复合材料, 和陶瓷, 每一种都有其物理特性和耐用性. A focus on materials used in different industries will be provided. This course will also cover quality assurance including current applications and realistic expectations.
