Columbus State Community College, in collaboration with the PAST Foundation, community, and industry partners, is developing a career pathway in additive manufacturing. Manufacturing is vital to Ohio and comprises 16.9% of the state's economy. Additive manufacturing has been around since the advent of 3D printing in the 1980's. A recent survey of 100 manufacturers revealed two-thirds of them were already using additive manufacturing and its use is projected to increase. This project addresses a shortage of skilled manufacturing technicians. It expands and strengthens the pipeline between K-12 and postsecondary programs. The project will lead to an increase in the supply of qualified technicians who have expertise in additive manufacturing. There are three project objectives: (1) To develop and implement an Additive Manufacturing Institute Model to provide high school students with the opportunity to explore the variety of careers associated with advanced manufacturing leading to earning industry recognized certifications; (2) To develop and implement an interactive High School Faculty Professional Development Initiative in additive manufacturing that prepares teachers to design relevant and rigorous curriculum; and (3) To develop a model education pathway between the Additive Manufacturing Summer Institute and Columbus State manufacturing engineering technology courses.

哥伦布州立社区学院与PAST基金会，社区和行业合作伙伴合作，正在开发增材制造的职业途径。制造业对俄亥俄州至关重要，占该州经济的16.9%。自20世纪80年代3D打印出现以来，增材制造就一直存在。最近对100家制造商进行的一项调查显示，其中三分之二的制造商已经在使用增材制造，预计其使用量将增加。该项目解决了熟练制造技术人员短缺的问题。它扩大和加强K-12和高等教育计划之间的管道。该项目将增加具有增材制造专业知识的合格技术人员的供应。项目目标有三个：（1）开发和实施增材制造学院模式，为高中生提供探索与先进制造相关的各种职业的机会，从而获得行业认可的认证;（二）制定和实施增材制造领域的互动式高中教师专业发展计划，使教师能够设计相关和严格的课程;以及（3）在增材制造暑期研究所和哥伦布州立大学制造工程技术课程之间建立示范教育途径。
