Welcome to the 3D Center of Excellence

“Bringing Opportunity and Innovation to America’s Workforce”

Welcome to the 3D Center of Excellence. Founded in Detroit, our mission is to provide education and opportunity to all people in the fields of 3D Printing and beyond. 3D Printing and its applied form Additive Manufacturing are rapidly becoming the dominant force in equipment manufacturing, in the United States and around the globe.

With the rise of these new technologies, there is also an abundance of opportunities for those seeking to establish careers in these emerging fields. Our team has developed comprehensive apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs to provide a clear path to mastery for anyone seeking to build a career in additive manufacturing.

Establishing the country’s first universal standard of education in these technologies, companies can rest easy knowing that anyone with a certificate of completion from the 3D Center of Excellence or its licensed affiliates will be adequately prepared to engage with the latest hardware and software for additive manufacturing. Job seekers can be assured that they’ll have a fundamental knowledge of these technologies, allowing them to work various machines with confidence.

At the 3D Center of Excellence, we want to make sure no one gets left behind. That’s why we’ve partnered with a number of organizations to help bring our curriculum to communities that need it most.
