Did you know that the additive manufacturing industry is currently a $16 billion industry and is expected to grow to $40.8 billion by 2024? As the industry grows, so does the demand for skilled professionals who can drive their organization's additive manufacturing initiatives forward. Earning the Certified Additive Manufacturing - Fundamental (CAM-F) certification prepares individuals with the knowledge to become key players in the industry's growth and expand their career opportunities.
This additive manufacturing course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the various 3D printing technologies and their benefits and limitations. You will also learn about the basic 3D printing process, the hardware and software for 3D digital file management, and common materials for each 3D printing technology. Additionally, during your additive manufacturing training, you will identify basic safety and quality considerations specific to 3D printing.
With the CAM-F certification, you will be recognized for your demonstrated competencies in additive manufacturing. This recognition will give you a competitive advantage in the job market, allowing you to become a valuable asset to any organization involved in additive manufacturing.
By completion of this advanced manufacturing training, you will be prepared to become an SME-CAM-F credential holder and enter a high-demand career field. This course offers enrollment with or without a voucher. The voucher covers the fee to sit for the certifying exam upon eligibility.
