Yes and no.
For students enrolled in the Elite Membership, one will be shipped to you. It is yours to keep.
For students enrolled in an individual membership (Foundational, Advanced, or Premium), you have some choices:
1. Provide your own workstation or laptop that meets minimum specifications. Note: The software in our coursework will NOT run on a tablet, iPad or mobile device.
Please additionally note that DMI does provide technical support for student provided workstations at an additional charge.
2. If available, you may access one of our workstations remotely. This is a functional solution but is dependent on the student’s high speed internet connection.
3. A great option for students NOT enrolled in the Elite Membership is to purchase a laptop from DMI. We do not upcharge for the machine and we set it up for you so when you receive it, it is ready to go.
For now, please contact us if you wish to purchase a laptop. We guarantee the laptops we provide are more than sufficient for 3D work.
