Jacksonville State College (Jax State) has partnered with EOS North America’s Additive Minds utilized engineering group to broaden its additive manufacturing (AM) curriculum.
By way of the Additive Minds Academy Ignite Program, this collaboration is ready to supply Jax State college students with entry to industrial-grade AM coaching and sources as a part of the college’s rising give attention to superior manufacturing applied sciences.
As a part of the initiative, Jax State has additionally acquired its second EOS M 290 system to supply college students with hands-on expertise utilizing production-grade AM expertise.
The Additive Minds Academy Ignite Program is designed to speed up AM schooling and workforce improvement by providing scalable, structured on-line and hybrid studying options. It helps academic establishments in educating the basics and purposes of business 3D printing, together with machine operation, security, design for AM, manufacturing methods, and extra.
“We’re excited to deepen our dedication to additive manufacturing schooling by means of the Ignite Program,” mentioned Matt Rosser, Director of the Middle for Manufacturing Help at Jax State. “By combining EOS’s industrial coaching sources with our increasing AM lab and school experience, we’re getting ready college students for real-world careers in superior manufacturing and giving them the talents they want to reach this quickly rising area. With the addition of our second EOS M 290, our AM property now whole greater than $3 million, underscoring our dedication to being a frontrunner in superior manufacturing innovation and workforce improvement.”
“The Ignite Program was constructed to bridge the hole between industrial wants and schooling,” added Fabian Alefeld, World Director of Enterprise Growth and Additive Minds Academy at EOS. “By collaborating with revolutionary establishments like Jax State, we’re empowering the subsequent era of engineers with the talents and confidence to contribute meaningfully to the way forward for additive manufacturing.”
Jax State joins the College of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Columbia Gorge Group School as one of many first universities to undertake the newly launched Ignite Program. Additionally it is utilized by Launch Canada, a nationwide nonprofit that helps aerospace innovation and hosts Canada’s largest scholar rocketry competitors, the place college students practice in Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) by means of the Ignite programming.
The Ignite Program affords two versatile tiers based mostly on a college’s entry to EOS methods. The AM Fundamentals providing gives entry to such programs as ‘Getting Began with Industrial 3D Printing’, ‘Design for Additive Manufacturing’ and ‘System Course of Management’. In the meantime, the Certification Associate gives entry to all Fundamentals content material, in addition to ‘EOSPRINT 2 Introduction’, ‘Course of Science & Engineering Certificates Program’, ‘Native EOSPRINT SW licenses’, ‘System Operation Certification enablement’ and ‘Associate Operator Certification for college kids upon completion of coaching’.
