Outreach and Training to Bolster the Future Manufacturing Workforce 

     

The AML actively participates in STEM/STEAM activities that engage students from K-12 to post-secondary and beyond. The AML supports:

 

• On-site demonstrations of 3D printing (using material extrusion) at local K-12 schools

• Demonstrations of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology at SDSM&T for Engineering and Science Week

• Lectures and demonstrations for undergraduate and graduate students at SDSM&T. (Teaching sections in ME127: Manufacturing Design and ME299:Sustainable Energy System Design Courses)

• 3D printing assistance for sophomore and senior design projects through training and prototyping services

• Coordination of events utilizing 3D printing and scanning (ex. 2014 National Day of Making)

• Hosting Youth Summer Camps (2014 Camp had fourteen 9th to 12th grade students from across the US)

• Employment for undergraduate and graduate students, which provides real-world experience in AM through participation in various industrial and scientific projects
