HUNTSVILLE – The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation and Integration Center is holding a three-day Introduction to Additive Manufacturing Workflow course. The class will be Nov. 15-17 at 5021 Technology Drive in Cummings Research Park.

The course is free for government employees and supporting contractors. Jose Coronel of America Makes will lead the class. He is the manager for the Driving Research, Innovation, and Value through Education in Additive Manufacturing program at the University of Texas at El Paso’s W.M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation.

AMIIC, to support the Army’s modernization efforts, said it hopes to have an estimated 500,000 skilled workers in the pipeline by 2025. Training for additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a step toward accomplishing those goals, the company said.

The computer-controlled process for creating 3D objects helps get products to market faster, reduces risk, increases margins, and enhances market position in the production sector.
