Doug Greenwood, Additive Manufacturing Lead, Fleet Readiness Center East

Doug began working in additive manufacturing in 1990 when it was called rapid prototyping. For six years he worked as the Southeast representative for Laser Prototypes, an SLA service bureau. Doug was then recruited to work at Square D/Schneider Electric in Raleigh where he worked to upgrade their CAD systems from 3D wireframe to parametric based assembly modeling. He was also responsible for the installation of two SLA machines as an internal SLA service bureau serving Schneider Electric global design activities. Doug joined 3D Systems in 2001 shortly after the company acquired DTM Corporation. He worked as an Applications Consultant supporting and training SLA & SLS customers. He joined Fleet Readiness Center East in 2008 and currently serve as the Additive Manufacturing Lead for the Advanced Technology IPT. Doug is also a member of the SAE Polymer Additive Manufacturing Committee and am co-chair of the Data Review Working Group on the recently formed CMH-17 Non-metallic Additive Manufacturing Committee. In 2018 he was recognized with a Distinguished Innovator Operator (DINO) award at the Additive Manufacturing User Group (AMUG) 2018 Conference.
