3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing
DMT SPRING 2022 CLASS SCHEDULE
Our courses are continuously evolving to keep pace with the rapidly expanding capabilities and uses for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. We work closely with local advisory committees, industry partners and government agencies to develop our curriculum. To that end DMT is currently involved in a new National Science Foundation grant to expand out advance manufacturing capabilities .
If you are interested in obtaining industry critical skills for designing your future take the below classes in sequense with some of our CAD classes to achive that goal. De Anza College will have a new 3D Printing Certificat in fall of 2021.
We have taught classes using 3D printing since 1996, when we integrated our first
3D systems printer into our advanced CAD Surfacing design classes. Students in all of our courses use professional grade equipment
and are taught by industry experts. Our program has also recently become a Stratasys certified training institution.
Here's What You Can Learn
