![]() A degree in materials science or materials science engineering, plus some research in additive manufacturing would make you extremely valuable. sure, you can, but its not exactly the space shuttle, you know? The real bleeding edge of 3d printing is on the materials science side - photocure chemicals, precision extrusion, deposition, etc. It'd be kinda like getting a MechE degree because you wanted to work on inkjet printers. Basic 3d printers are not complicated mechanisms, in truth - the design of linear axes and simple mechanisms is MechE territory and few 3d printers need bleeding edge mechanism design, so this may be a tough place to make a career. If you want to work on developing the printers themselves it takes a village designers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, etc. ![]() If your love is truly CAD and you don't care so much for higher math and or classical "engineering" then look into CAD or mechanical design programs.įrom speaking with the designers and design engineers at my company, it seems like years/hours of experience on a given software package are more important than your degree. You don't have to be an engineer to do CAD many companies employ Designers or Design Engineers who may or may not have an engineering degree (or any 4 year degree). Its not clear exactly what you want to do.? Non-reddit communities are listed in our getting started guide We welcome community contributions to this wiki!
