Sam Maresh:

The world is changing incredibly quickly. Technology is moving at pace. We don't want to just be followers of technology. We want to be leaders.

3D metal printing is incredibly important and innovative because it allows manufacturers to build  things they couldn't build previously.

This micro-credential course will teach people the skills of basics around additive manufacturing, how to use CAD and drawings, and how that integrates how to use the metal alloys and powders, and how to actually go through the whole value chain of actually thinking about a new product to actually printing a new product.

John Teague:

Additive manufacturing is the future of a lot of different metal processes.

So this micro-credential is so good for learners who are really wanting to get a grasp on this emerging technology.

And it gives them an opportunity to network with other industry participants and really learn from their their experiences, their shared experiences.

Tim:

The micro-credential helped me to upskill my knowledge of FDM 3D printing into metal 3D printing.

The pace of this industry is changing. It's an exciting place to be and I'd want to be a part of it, and upskilling is of utmost importance to that.

To be honest, I don't see any current or future industry that can't utilise metal 3D printing. It really does set you up for an interesting future.

Sam Maresh:

General Electric is incredibly excited to be part of the New Education and Training Model because it allows us to develop skills.

With this credential, you will be able to build things that no one else can build because you can unlock that technology, thanks to the skills that NETM provides. These skills, this capability, sets you up to actually be part of a future economy, to be part of an innovative economy and to be part of an advanced manufacturing sector that not only Australia needs, but the world needs.
