Alquist 3D's course curriculum offers a gateway to careers in
the burgeoning 3D-printed homes and infrastructure industry.
GREELEY,
Colo., May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alquist
3D, a 3D printing construction technology company, in partnership
with Aims Community
College in Greeley,
Colorado, today announced the curriculum for a new training
course that will offer students a gateway to job opportunities in
the rapidly growing field of 3D-printed homes and infrastructure.
The course is part of a larger plan for making Greeley the global epicenter of 3D
construction printing research and development.
The fully online, four-unit, 30-hour certificate course is
scheduled to start being offered in July
2024. The modest $250 tuition
is meant to make entry-level 3D-printing education affordable. The
course will fuel collaboration between Alquist 3D and Aims Community College students and faculty on
future residential and infrastructure projects. The certificate is
the first offering in the discipline by the College. A more
extensive curriculum is in development and will be offered in the
future.
"We believe 3D printing is the gateway for people to enter into
an evolving and cutting-edge trade," said Alquist 3D Founder and
Chairman Zachary Mannheimer.
"Developing this curriculum in collaboration with Aims Community College has been an exciting step
toward achieving our shared vision of robust job training and
workforce development for 3D printing construction."
The course's four units will deliver fundamental knowledge about
3D printing technology and carbon-neutral material processes that
are vital to a career in this innovative new discipline:
- Unit 1, History & Process Overview, will give students a
basic understanding of what 3D concrete printing (3DCP) is, its
benefits versus traditional construction methods, and its history
as a technology.
- Unit 2, Robotics, will explain different Robotic Motion
Systems, how they position themselves, and how they operate within
the 3DCP process.
- Unit 3, Materials Science, will give students an understanding
of the characteristics of 3DCP cementitious mortars, machinery used
to mix and pump material through the system, additives and
admixtures, next-generation materials, and how materials are tested
for strength.
- Unit 4, Design, will evaluate the effect equipment and material
have on design, and explore the characteristics, limitations, and
critical parameters of a toolpath creation and feasibility
assessments.
