Dunwoody Design for Manufacturing: 3D Printing

NOTE: Dunwoody College isn’t accepting new students into the Design for Manufacturing: 3D Printing program. Students interested in additive manufacturing should consider Engineering Drafting & Design. Interested in a fast-track to the manufacturing industry? Check out Right Skills Now for Manufacturing.  

Stratasys and Dunwoody College have teamed up to offer the Design for Manufacturing: 3D Printing certificate.

Learn how to utilize 3D printing software and hardware to set-up, run, maintain, and calibrate 3D printing machines; and adapt printing techniques to traditional manufacturing processes.

While at Dunwoody, you won’t just print prototype parts and widgets. You’ll design, print, build, and inspect real-world parts in our state-of-the-industry labs, which are equipped with three different platforms of 3D printing technology.

Already in the industry and want to learn more about additive manufacturing? Individual courses may also be taken.

Credits earned in the Design for Manufacturing: 3D Printing certificate directly transfer into Dunwoody’s Engineering Drafting & Design or Machine Tool Technology associate’s degrees.
