Diploma in Digital Fabrication and Design

Program Overview

With an emphasis on technologies and strategies, the Digital Fabrication & Design Program prepares students for employment or further education in the emerging fields of digital fabrication and advanced manufacturing. 

Design and manufacturing are evolving industries. In Selkirk College's new Digital Fabrication & Design Program, gain broad entry-level skills or take your trade, craft or digital prowess in a new digital direction. This field combines the artistry of digital design with the skilled trades of making the physical form. Our training ensures your value in the increasingly digitally driven world of design, fabrication and manufacturing. 

The Digital Fabrication & Design Program teaches emerging hands-on computer skills for a wide variety of production facilities - from large-scale industrial operations to inventors needing prototypes. Learn how to design and build products from the bottom up. Or, create parts for a larger assembly. Learn more about career pathways...

Digital manufacturing skills are in demand as industries embrace improved technology allowing for more design choice, increased accuracy and a shorter design to manufacturing process. Among sectors, manufacturing recorded the highest rate of adoption of advanced design and fabrication technologies, with nearly six in 10 manufacturing enterprises using at least one such technology

Applied Skills and Experiential Learning
Our program instruction is primarily delivered in workgroups, with peers, mentors, and machines. Delivery uses a problem-solving based learning approach which reflects standard industry practice in the field of advanced manufacturing.
