3D Printing for Art and Industry 

Learn 3D Design and Manufacturing Skills with Applied Learning Experience in the 3D Printing Lab

3D Printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing, is constructively disrupting manufacturing sectors bringing digital design and fabrication technologies to an array of industries.

This program offers students the opportunity to learn the skills required to design and be productive with 3D printing.  The courses begin with the fundamentals then continue with a range of applied learning projects, practical design and printing experience, and general industry knowledge.

Students successfully completing the courses will develop a portfolio and be prepared to gain certification in Autodesk Fusion 360 - one of the leading design platforms for design and production in additive manufacturing. 

The first two classes are approved General Studies Electives, and students can continue through the entire series of courses by declaring the Minor in 3D Printing for Art and Industry. 

PROGRAM COURSES:

Start here:  Fundamentals of 3D Modeling and Printing - IA 2220 (3)

Offered: FA'22 and SP'23

Enroll in this course first to begin the minor, also available as General Studies Area II Elective 

Course Description: This course introduces students to the fundamental skills required to begin designing and printing using CAD (Computer Aided Design) software. Digital design terminology and techniques combined with an understanding of how 3D printers function will be delivered through a series of fundamental projects.

Product Development and Assistive Design - IA 3330 (3)

Offered: SP'23 and FA'23

Course Description: Intermediate Product development will be taught and applied through practical and creative 3D printing projects. Students will learn intermediate solid modeling with an emphasis on assistive design.
