MSc Advanced Materials and Additive Manufacturing (Distinction)
BEng Mechanical Engineering
For my Masters Thesis project I designed an FDM printer modification, improving machine dynamics. I have in depth knowledge of the FDM process and how to optimise for: print speed, strength, and quality.
Prize winner in many online 3D printing and design competitions, winning approximately £2000 worth of prizes in the past three years:
Polymaker ‘3D printed hook tournament: Second place.
A combination of mechanical engineering, creative design and DfAM to create the strongest possible 3D printed polymer hook (no closed loop) weighing less than 50g. The final design withstood over a 1 ton load. ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
