Stratasys Launches FDM Certification Program

Stratasys offers a new certification program for Stratasys FDM 3D printer operators and engineers, the first in a series of certification programs for Stratasys 3D printer users. The program, according to Stratasys, is designed to provide Stratasys customers with an education that supports their adoption of 3D printing through the fused deposition modeling printing process. Customers completing the courses will receive official Stratasys Academy certificates certifying their skills and level of mastery in this 3D printing technology.

Stratasys will continue to introduce certification programs across the company’s 3D printing technologies, including PolyJet, P3, SAF and stereolithography. The certification programs will enable Stratasys customers to gain expertise in the 3D printing process from software-based design to printer operations to post-processing parts.

“With this new certification program, Stratasys Academy is helping our customers successfully adopt Stratasys technology, shorten time to value, and maximize the utilization of their 3D printers,” says Jeff Mandl, head of Knowledge Management for Stratasys.

“Leading companies growing their additive manufacturing footprint need the confidence that their employees bring a proven level of knowledge in industrial 3D printing,” Mandl adds. “Our certification program goes beyond a single remote class. We’re providing a blend of self-paced, remote and in-classroom learning opportunities that bring users up to a proven, certified level of skill.”

The Stratasys FDM Certification Program is now available to Stratasys 3D printer customers. You can learn more about the Stratasys Certification Programs online.
