Welcome to the world of additive manufacturing! According to Wohlers Associates, the additive manufacturing industry is expected to grow to $40.8 billion by 2024, with a projected growth rate of 150%. As the industry continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, the demand for skilled professionals in this field is on the rise.
If you want to expand your career opportunities in this dynamic industry, consider earning the Certified Additive Manufacturing - Technician (CAM-T) certification. With this additive manufacturing certification course, you will learn to identify various 3D printing technologies and their benefits and limitations. You will also gain an understanding of the basic 3D printing process, as well as the hardware and software required for 3D digital file management.
This additive manufacturing course helps you learn how to identify common materials for each 3D printing technology and how to integrate 3D printing with secondary manufacturing processes such as casting and molding. Safety and quality considerations specific to 3D printing will also be covered in detail.
Earning the CAM-T certification will prepare you to drive your organization's additive manufacturing initiatives forward and position you as a valuable asset in the industry.
By completion of this advanced manufacturing training, you will be prepared to become an SME-CAM-T 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.
