The Morningbird Academy
Certified Workforce Development Training in Additive Manufacturing

Featured on NASA
Welcome to the wonderful world of 3D printing.
The Morningbird Academy exists to offer certifications and technical trainings around 3D printing. We host trainings for a community of people from all different backgrounds who want to uniquely create a world that is better than what we see today through 3D printing. Our courses teach how to assemble, test, and use software related to 3D printing.
The automotive, building, and biomedical industries, among a few, are embracing additive manufacturing as viable components of their business models and to enhance their growth plans. There is a high demand for skilled employees needed to work within the additive manufacturing areas of their companies.
In response to this demand, Morningbird Academy has established a set of curricula capable of providing students the skills they need to immediately engage in the active workforce.
