Advanced Manufacturing Technology Equipment

丹维尔学院是高级学习和研究所的合作伙伴，该研究所是为解决弗吉尼亚州南区的经济和教育挑战而创建的。聚合物制造科学已被确定为该研究所的关键领域之一。丹维尔社区学院正在开发和实施先进制造技术(AMT)计划，提供聚合物制造技术方面的劳动力教育和应用科学副学士学位机会。其目标是培养具有高科技技能的学生，使他们成为具有竞争力和生产力的技术人员。衔接伙伴关系使AMT毕业生能够继续在该地区的大学接受教育。利用之前的资金，该计划购买了一台选择性激光烧结机。该项目提供资金购买注射成型和挤出培训设备，以补充用弗吉尼亚州烟草赔偿和振兴委员会的资金购买的其他设备。这些设备对于为刚毕业的高中生、在职工人以及从纺织和烟草行业失业的工人提供接近模拟真实世界聚合物制造体验的能力至关重要。

Danville College is partner in the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research created to address Southside Virginia's economic and educational challenges. Polymer manufacturing science has been identified as one of the Institute's key areas. Danville Community College is developing and implementing an Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) program offering workforce education and Associate of Applied Science degree opportunities in Polymer Manufacturing Technology. The goal is to educate students with high tech skills to enable them to become competitive and productive technicians. Articulation partnerships enable AMT graduates continue education at universities in the region. With previous funding, the program has purchased a Selective Laser Sintering machine. This project provides funds to purchase injection molding and extrusion training equipment to complement other equipment purchased with funds from the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Revitalization Commission. The equipment is essential to provide newly graduated high school students, incumbent workers, and workers displaced form the textile and tobacco industries with capabilities that closely simulate real world polymer manufacturing experiences.
