Materials development presents one of the greatest opportunities in 3D printing. As a Materials intern, you’ll work side-by-side in the lab with the rest of our Materials team. You’ll get an opportunity to constantly develop, formulate, and test materials that we’ve never printed with before -- and every experiment plays a big role in how we solve new challenges in 3D printing.
If you’re ready for a hands-on role solving real problems for real products, we want you as a Materials Intern.
