3D Printed Assistive Device Creator Certification Course – Student Manual
Getting Started & Important Notes: Course Guide
This course is designed to give you the foundational knowledge and hands-on skills needed to create assistive devices using a 3D printer. The curriculum includes lectures, tests, and practical assignments. For the practical component, you’ll 3D print a project and send it to us for assessment. Meeting the standards means you’ll be recognized and certified as having the required skills. The course is managed through an LMS (Learning Management System), making it easy and intuitive to follow. We recommend reading the steps below for a smoother learning experience—please take a look!
