• Spearheaded the development of Nylon 12 White, creating the first-ever powder formulation and production method for Formlabs' selective laser sintering (SLS) line. Led the full scale-up process from lab to pilot to.
• Managed and guided a cross-functional team of scientists and technicians in the SLS materials and print process teams, driving new materials and products with a focus on color hue and saturation, from initial concept.
• Established internal powder and liquid dispersion manufacturing capabilities and built strategic partnerships with suppliers and manufacturing partners, playing a pivotal role in the commercialisation process.
• Collaborated closely with business development and product teams to design and develop prototypes for end-use customers.
• Conducted comprehensive materials characterisation for both SLS and stereolithography (SLA) product lines, utilising a range of techniques including thermal and thermo-mechanical testing (TGA, DSC, DMA), X-ray.
