Certified Additive Manufacturing Fundamentals (CAMF) The Fundamentals exam focuses on the basics of additive manufacturing, including a comprehensive overview of additive manufacturing, the seven additive manufacturing technologies, and basic safety guidelines. The Fundamentals certification is ideal for individuals working in or seeking to work in additive manufacturing roles in automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment. It is also ideal for high schools and colleges as a capstone or stand-alone achievement to increase workforce readiness in additive manufacturing. Are you a candidate for the CAMF? Read about the experience and background of candidates who are qualified for the CAMF. Caleb Andrea Caleb graduated two years ago with a degree in mechanical engineering. His senior project relied heavily on filament 3D printers to produce components for a robot that could pour and carry liquids. This experience, combined with the design and production experience he has gained in his current position at a manufacturer of construction tools, makes him a good candidate for the Additive Manufacturing Fundamentals Certification. Andrea is an aerospace engineer with eight years of experience in turbine engine production. She rotated through various positions in hands-on manufacturing groups before taking a five-year, sideways step into part-time proposal writing while doing eldercare. Staying active in professional groups and taking online courses in 3D printing has her interested in a career change involving metals Additive Manufacturing as she transitions back to full-time work. Andrea would be a great candidate for Additive Manufacturing Fundamentals Certification. Need Help Preparing?
