What is Digital Printing Technology - 3D Printing?
As the call from industry for training in 3D printing increases, Southeast has stepped
to the forefront in offering a certificate in the technology.
The potential for growth in the additive manufacturing/3D printing field is particularly
great in Kentucky because aerospace (aircraft parts) is the state’s number one export
with automotive parts following at number two.
Additive printing/3D technology is constantly changing and business and industry leaders
are finding ways to incorporate it everywhere — in business, art, health, manufacturing,
education and more. By offering the 3D Printing Technician certificate, Southeast
places itself at the forefront of this growing technology. Students successfully completing
the coursework will be poised to take the lead in this technology across the state.
