In December last year, Dr Dunn was recognized by the United States’ Department of State as one of the leaders in 3D printing for development and was nominated for the International Visitor Leadership Program for Women in Entrepreneurship. This year she was named one of the Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans and was selected by Cocreate SANL as one of South Africa’s fifty most inspiring women in STEM. Dr Dunn aims to not only increase the involvement of women in 3D printing and additive manufacturing, but to also support the economic opportunity of entrepreneurs to drive growth and social uplifting in African countries.
