Overview

Core contributor to the development of a groundbreaking 3D printing system for fabricating large-scale continuous carbon fiber parts.

Key Achievements
  • Designed and optimized the initial print head end effector, including material feeding, cutting, and handling mechanisms. Designed around pneumatic and electric actuators.
  • Led a prototype-driven approach to rapidly validate complex mechanical designs, fabricating numerous iterations hands-on.
  • Implemented the company's Product Data Management (PDM) system for streamlined design documentation.
  • Provided mentorship to interns and junior engineers as the company expanded from 6 to 40 employees.
