About this badge

Considered by industry front-runners to be the next life-changing technology, 3D printing is ushering in a new era of manufacturing. The objective of this intensive course is to gain an understanding of additive manufacturing, scanning, and rapid prototyping. Learn how 3D printing works, where it’s being used, and what digital tools are available to enhance the product development cycle. This course also introduces a new way of production. Gain insight into industry applications and an outlook on what the future holds for various industry segments, while learning about the processes, filaments, and materials used to produce 3D printed items. Moreover, you are taken through a series of real-life case studies that showcase the use of additive manufacturing by Fortune 500 companies, small- to medium-sized businesses, and individuals to increase their efficiency and reduce their product time to market. The course includes a tour of NYU’s 3D printing facility, LaGuardia Studio, which has multiple fabrication systems and technologies, as well as other 3D printing outlets in New York City.
