Rapid Prototyping & 3D Design Beginner Certification

An approved Florida Digital Tool Certificate for the 2019-2020 school year, the "Rapid Prototyping & 3D Design Beginner" Certification is based on CAD and 3D Printing for tomorrow's workforce. Add this certification anywhere you would explore SolidWorks or Inventor or 3D Printing.

Digital literacy on this topic is crucial as the industry impact of those technologies now have implications in design, engineering, healthcare, fashion, manufacturing, and more. Two-Thirds of Manufacturers are using 3D printing with another 25% intending to add the technology. This certificate aims to measure a student’s ability to demonstrate introductory CAD literacy as well as introductory 3D skills.

Ideal for:

• Classrooms currently using or planning to use SolidWorks, Inventor or 3D Printers


• Programs/tracks leading to Engineering, Construction, Architecture, Design, and Manufacturing programs


• Students wanting a foundation to proceed to SolidWorks or Autodesk CAPE Secondary Certifications
