Formlabs - APPLICATIONS ENGINEERING

During my time at Formlabs, I worked on various projects to test new materials, validate workflows, and produce marketing assets. I designed mechanisms, sample parts, assemblies, and trade show displays during my time there in addition to my primary work on the product team and technical writing.

I designed a functional mechanical gripper assembly using a leadscrew and linkage design, made entirely from 3D printed SLA components in Formlabs Engineering Resins. All components utilize snap fits or interference fits for assembly.

I designed this movable drilling jig assembly as part of a whitepaper on 3D printed jigs and fixtures.

A multi-part assembly to demonstrate a new feature in PreFrom, the 3D printing prep software from Formlabs. The feature allowed for printing of parts directly on the build platform without a raft.
