Responsibilities :
- Clean D Printed parts according to defined standard operating procedures.
- Hand finish D printed parts using defined techniques while maintaining feature geometry and checking tolerances on key dimensions.
- Use precision measurement devices ( digital calipers, GOM) to ensure dimensional accuracy.
- Operate D Printing equipment when performing routine and rotational maintenance on a regular schedule to produce highly accurate medical device prototypes in a timely manner.
- Maintain proficiency in viewing model files using CAD software ( - Magics by Materialize).
- Maintain finishing supplies in the laboratory and evaluation of special supplies, techniques, and equipment that may be beneficial for quality part finishing.
- Perform work following standard operating procedures.
- Work in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices, observe all Client Safety and Quality Standards, and maintain laboratory notebook according to Client Standard Operating Procedures.
- Wear proper safety equipment where required.
- Under the direction of the D Printing & Prototyping Manager, contribute as needed in the R&D of D printing applications.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
Requirements :
- High school diploma is required.
- Experience with D printed part post processing or machining activities or a combination of equivalent education and experience is preferred.
- Experience with D printing is a strong plus; examples : Stereolithography (SLA), Carbon (DLS), Digital Light Processing (DLP), PolyJet D Printing, and Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).
- Proven computer experience, including the ability to use CAD software desired.
- Organized and time-oriented individual with the ability and drive to contribute towards the quick turn-around time on finished parts while ensuring fine detail and accuracy.
- Open to exploring new techniques related to D Printing & Prototyping or DE-related areas.
- Proven ability to work successfully in both team and individual situations.
- Clear verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to lift at least lbs. a must.
- Must be a Self-Starter.
- The ideal candidate is proactive ( If they finish up their current work, they should be asking for the next task and eventually capable of recognizing what those next tasks are).

- Candidates must have clear communication skills (written & verbal skills).
- The ideal candidate will not be afraid to ask questions or alert others of problems.
- Attention to detail is extremely important.
- The job revolves around the finishing processing of small plastic D printed parts or prototypes ( using sandpaper and files, performing tasks such as painting and dying).
- The ideal candidate might be someone that enjoys working on little plastic parts or doing arts & crafts.
- The ideal candidate should be able to identify when there is a problem with a D printed part and be able to alert the responsible team members to that problem.
- Should enjoy working with their hands.
- This position requires an individual to clean, sand and handle plastic D printed parts with their hands while following all safety procedures and wearing proper PPE.
- Should be open to exploring new techniques to enhance post processing capabilities.
- D Printing / Additive Manufacturing is an ever-evolving group of technologies.
- That means the way we post process parts does evolve as well.
- The ideal candidate will be open to change and willing to explore these new techniques.
- If a candidate brings new finishing techniques / ideas with them, that is a bonus.
- Dedication & Ownership of tasks is a must.
- The ideal candidate will take full ownership of tasks each day, including the part quality of an accepted job, and see those tasks / jobs through to the end.
