The Unshakable Importance of Technical Skills

In the realm of manufacturing, technical skills are paramount. They ensure that processes are not only completed but completed with precision and efficiency. Without these skills, even the most advanced equipment and systems would fall short of their potential. Those equipped with robust technical abilities are pivotal in driving innovation, solving complex challenges, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Key Technical Skills in Manufacturing Include:

  • Machine Operation: Understanding and handling machinery safely and effectively.
  • Quality Control: Ensuring products meet specific standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintenance and Repair: Keeping machinery and systems in optimal condition.
  • Problem-Solving: Quickly diagnosing and addressing issues that arise during production.
  • Technical Training: Effective communication of know-how, ensuring knowledge transfer within teams.

A Case Study in Success

Let's delve into a practical example showcasing our capability to deliver customized training solutions. We worked with a company that received SBIR Phase I funding from the Department of Defense. The objective was to transform their in-class training on large-scale metal additive manufacturing—essentially big 3D printing—into an accessible and engaging online course.

Through collaboration with researchers and university PhDs, Stacey spearheaded the design of this course. By integrating interactive simulations and robust assessments, learners were fully immersed in understanding the intricacies of additive manufacturing. This effort led to additional Phase II Funding, proving the effectiveness of our tailored approach.
