The Job:
Designing 3D printers is a cross-discipline experience where each individual contributes a portion of the overall knowledge required to bring a product to market. It seems like a daunting task from the outside; however, it can be broken down into smaller pieces that, when combined, result in a sophisticated device that embdies a lot of science, engineering, and manufacturing know-how. As an intern, you will contribute to this process in the following ways:
  • Design, assemble, test, and evaluate the performance of 3D printers.
  • Participate in design reviews and help solve design, engineering, and manufacturing problems.
  • Polish your time management and communication skills to increase your effectiveness as an engineer.
  • Build prototype components and assemblies using our in-house facilities.
  • Put your CAD skills to work designing parts and assemblies, creating engineering drawings and learning about the importance of documentation control.
  • Assist with direct communications to our vendors and suppliers to help overcome production challenges.
You:
  • Have a desire to hone your skills and learn more about engineering design and the process of bringing products to market.
  • Have worked with mechanical or electro-mechanical systems and want exposure to the inner workings of 3D printers.
  • Have one-or-more of the following hands-on experiences:
    • Lab research, member of a project team, prior internship or previous work experience
    • Have an up to date resume and portfolio of your previous experience to highlight what you have learned and how you have applied that learning.
Internships at Formlabs give students the opportunity to create, build, solve, and discover in every area of our business. Come build your career and build the future of 3D printing. Internship perks include social events, networking opportunities, access to our fully-stocked kitchens and onsite lunches, and unlimited 3D printing!
