Role
Experimentor, Tinkerer, and Prototyper
Focus
Hands-on Rapid Prototyping
Result
The ability to rapid prototype and fabricate my ideas
Approach
- Designed custom parts in Fusion 360 and Onshape optimized for FDM printing constraints
- Managed 3D printer calibration and filament settings to ensure high-quality prints
- Iterated through multiple prototying cycles for projects and ideas to bring them to life
My Ender 3 Pro printing a flexible part using a rubber-like filament
Key outcomes
- Learned precision modeling using Fusion 360 and Onshape
- Learned how to fine-tune FDM 3D printing and calibration management
- Devloped the ability to rapidly iterate from concept to a physical prototype
Impact
Fueled my passion for 3D printing, prototyping, and engineering by turning digital ideas into physical parts and rapidly prototyping hardware solutions
