I've spent the past 8 years immersed in the fascinating world of 3D CAD design. My expertise extends across a variety of software platforms, including OnShape, OpenScad, Fusion360, and with a touch of AutoCAD. Over the course of a decade, I've delved into the intricate realm of 3D printing, specializing in FDM technology. My experience goes beyond the basics, encompassing the printing of challenging materials and tackling troubleshooting tasks. From more budget-friendly options to robust workhorse printers, I've honed my skills in diagnosing and fixing issues, making me your go-to person for all things 3D printing.I was asked to join a startup robotics business, Vorpal Robotics LLC, specializing in 3D printing hexapod walking robots. In my role as a contracted product designer, I harnessed my years of proficiency in 3D CAD software to create innovative products tailored for educational institutions, makers, and hobbyists. My work extended beyond traditional product design, as I also crafted modifications that added a festive touch to our offerings for special occasions. This role not only fueled my passion for CAD design but also allowed me to blend creativity with functionality, making a tangible impact on the world of 3D printing enthusiasts and learners.
