Rapid Prototyping Lab

I work as a co-manager in the Rapid Prototyping Lab in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell, where I oversee printer operations and maintenance; in Spring 2021 I taught a group of new employees how to use the equipment as part of our mentorship and volunteering program. In Fall 2021, I began managing the space, it’s tools, and its 7 employees.

Equipment in the lab include 3D printers from Stratasys, Markforged, Ultimaker, and FormLabs, along with Epilog laser cutters.
