Manufacturing Technology Prototyping Gunsmith - Pine Technical College

Manufacturing Technology Prototyping Gunsmith from Pine Technical College is a Campus Certificate Manufacturing Technology degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Program Overview The Manufacturing Technology - Prototyping Gunsmith program builds on skills developed in the completion of the Gun Repair Certificate and is designed to provide the student with additional machining skills and training in the technologies of rapid prototyping and the reverse engineering of conceptualized parts and/or tooling. Upon completion of the program, students will be competent in manufacturing a functional mechanism, model, and a proper material part from a rough sketch, physical rough prototype or a CAD developed prototype. Career and Employment Information As more parts and firearms become obsolete, the need to reproduce component parts, and in some cases complete mechanisms has become an issue for the Gunsmith. In Tech 2006 Minnesota Technology, William Gurstelle writes that disruptive innovations \\\"are far reaching with enormous implications for technology companies.\\\" Gurstelle describe five emerging technologies the National Council for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies believes have the potential to be \\\"disruptively innovative within five to ten years,\\\" and rapid manufacturing was one of the five. According to Gurstelle, RedEye RPM in Eden Prairie, MN has become the largest rapid prototyping/manufacturing service bureau in the world. Eighteen percent of the company\\\'s revenues come from rapid prototyping/manufacturing and a company spokesman says the number of jobs is continuing to grow. All indicators are rapid prototyping/manufacturing will be a rapidly growing industry that will require highly trained skilled workers.
