Developing future leaders in advanced manufacturing
Through investments in 3D printing, educational institutions can drive the exploration and adoption of the technology. Students can gain hands-on experience by designing and producing their own functional parts, and build the skills needed for next-generation manufacturing careers.
Bringing innovative technologies to campus also allows students to explore new applications for 3D printing and can foster new collaborations between research institutions and industry.



Putting new production tools in student’s hands
The University of Maine is using the Studio System to train students in the use of advanced manufacturing, including metal 3D printing, and is working to help industry partners realize the benefits of additive manufacturing across a host of industries in the state.
Leaders in learning
Elite colleges and universities around the world have invested in Desktop Metal products with the aim of training students and industry partners on the uses and benefits of metal 3D printing.
