Foundations in Digital Manufacturing

Overview

Learn foundational skills and concepts relating to three-dimensional modelling (including isometric and orthographic drawings), computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), and product manufacturing in this high-tech, hands-on program.

In today’s world, with digital disruption, bold entrepreneurship, and shifting social norms and practices, the future or careers in high-tech manufacturing may seem unpredictable. Contemporary workplaces use tools, technologies and automation that were unimaginable in previous generations, and that will become redundant as quickly as they broke new ground. Design software, manufacturing hardware, and how humans interact with both of these, will evolve and change through time, but the fundamental skills of object-conceptualization, digital manipulation and high-tech machining will remain in demand throughout this evolution.
