Job Description

Provide hands-on experience in 3D modeling, product design workflows, 3D printing technology, and the integration of these concepts for real-world problem-solving.

Job Responsibilities

• Master the basics of leading 3D CAD software (such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360) through intensive tutorials.
• Understand and apply design principles specifically for 3D printing, including considerations for overhangs, tolerances, and support structures.
• Engage in lectures on Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) and optimize 3D models for printing.
• Get acquainted with various 3D printer types and technologies (FDM, SLA).
• Operate slicer software (Cura, PrusaSlicer) and gain hands-on experience in setting up, calibrating, and operating 3D printers.
• Troubleshoot common 3D printing issues and perform post-processing techniques such as support removal and finishing.
• Define a mechanical design problem and apply iterative design and prototyping techniques to solve it.
• Conduct rapid prototyping by printing, testing, and refining design iterations.
• Understand material properties and considerations for 3D printing.
• Test and evaluate the final prototype, document the design process, and present project outcomes.

Requirements:

• Current enrollment in a Mechanical Engineering or related degree program.
• Basic understanding of CAD software and 3D printing concepts.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Excellent communication skills and a willingness to participate in group discussions and presentations.
• Availability to commit to the 4-week program, with the possibility of an optional 4-week extension.
