M E S S A G E
I want to thank you for taking time to look through the Clovis Adult
School catalog. We believe that being a life-long learner is one of
the keys to personal growth and vitality.
In 2015, we were informed by the Fresno Bee that we were
receiving the Fresno Bee’s People’s Choice Award. To be honest, I
knew little about this honor but was informed
that this was voted by students in the valley
and we came out #1 in the area of Career and
Technical schools. The more we talked about
this with our staff, the more stories I heard
from students about their positive experience
while attending Clovis Adult School.

Our goal is to help position you for success
and network with businesses in the
community to place you in a great job. This
starts by giving us a call and asking as many
questions as you like about our academic,
community education and career technical
educational programs. We want to provide
you with the best learning experience at a fraction of the cost of
private schools. In fact, most of our Career Technical programs are
about a third of the cost of private schools.
We are currently modernizing our school but all classes are still
going strong, so please excuse the mess and enjoy the educational
pampering only our staff can provide.

3D printing has been hailed as a solution
to all manufacturing problems. Obviously
that is exaggerated, but what is it good for
(and when is traditional manufacturing still
the better choice?) In this course you will
learn how to separate the real promise of the
technology from the hype, and understand
the workflow for a consumer-level 3D
printer. You will become familiar with some
typical online databases of objects available
to print, and get a bit of experience with free

process. This class will be primarily focused
to introduce you to the tools of the open 3D
printer ecosystem, but the principles will
apply to consumer 3D printers in general.
