I am an electrical engineering technology student at Purdue university. 3D printing has been a passion of mine for the past 6 years, this started when I built a 3D printer which enabled me to prototype my own models. In addition to working on personal projects using 3D modeling and printing, I have also had the privilege of gaining work experience as a supervisor at Purdue University’s campus 3D printing labs, for the past couple of years. In addition to my responsibilities at the 3D printing labs, I have had the opportunity to work and gain experience at the Purdue University mechanical engineering workshop, where I gained practical skills in working with metal. Through the 3D printing lab on campus, I have experienced consumer level 3D printing and troubleshooting.
