Who We Are

More than 30 years ago, 3D Systems launched the 3D printing industry and has been leading additive manufacturing innovation ever since. Today, our diverse, global workforce brings innovation, performance, and reliability to every interaction - empowering our customers to create physical products at a digital pace. 3D Systems' solutions address a variety of advanced applications in healthcare and industrial markets such as medical and dental, aerospace & defense, automotive, and durable goods.

What Can You Expect?

We believe that conducting business with integrity, valuing diversity in people and ideas, and being a positive force for action in our company and our communities are vital to our success and the right thing to do. We're looking for innovative thought leaders who share this passion to join our Intern Program.

Our summer intern experience is designed to provide students with a challenging and meaningful internship to gain valuable hands-on experience. All students in the program will be given a project with clear learning objectives and desired outcomes. At the conclusion of the internship, each intern will have the opportunity to present their summer project to leadership . Interns will also have exposure to other areas of 3D Systems to learn about all of our solutions. You will be given the opportunity to network with other interns and colleagues at 3D Systems including our senior leaders.

Responsibilities:

Participate in the development of next generation materials and print processes for industrial additive manufacturing (3D printing).
