What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Bachelor's Degree)

  • Complex blueprints and multi-sheet drawing packages — analyze autonomously and consult directly with designers to resolve ambiguities and confirm pattern geometry before fabrication.
  • Wooden models, patterns, templates, molds, and full-scale mock-ups — construct end-to-end across a wide range of product types and production tooling requirements without supervisory oversight.
  • Non-standard shapes and compound contours — achieve through advanced hand-forming, selective stock removal, and iterative template checking in demanding production environments.
  • Critical dimensions and geometric tolerances — verify at all stages using precision measurement equipment, applying engineering mathematics to assess conformance and document results.
  • Material selection strategy — evaluate wood species, grain orientation, moisture content, and cut type to optimize pattern stability and longevity for specific casting or production applications.
  • Full-scale layout and sectional pattern planning — develop independently for complex assemblies, anticipating shrinkage allowances, draft angles, and machining stock requirements.
  • Production scheduling conflicts and quality deviations — diagnose using judgment and critical thinking, determining root causes and implementing corrective action within the model shop.
  • CAD software — use proficiently to interpret 3D design data, extract cross-sections, and generate dimensional references that guide precision hand-crafting of wooden models.
  • Junior and apprentice model makers — guide through complex hand-tool operations and blueprint reading, providing real-time technical feedback on the shop floor.
  • Assembly and identification documentation — author and maintain to a standard that ensures accurate reproduction of models by other craftspeople across production shifts.
