Job Description:
GENERAL FUNCTION:
The 3D Printed Part Finisher is an essential part of client Digital Engineering (DE) 3D Printing & Prototyping team and will have the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of client next-generation medical products and enhance the current product portfolio.
Under the general direction of 3D Printing & Prototyping management, the Engineering Technician will provide quality “finished” 3D printed parts and/or components/fixtures to business customers in a safe and timely manner.
We are excited to add a highly motivated individual that can adapt quickly and work within a dynamic environment.
Responsibilities:
Clean 3D Printed parts according to defined standard operating procedures.
Hand finish 3D printed parts using defined techniques while maintaining feature geometry and checking tolerances on key dimensions.
Use precision measurement devices (i.e. – digital calipers, GOM) to ensure dimensional accuracy.
Operate 3D 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 (i.e. - Magics by Materialise).
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 BDTI Safety and Quality Standards, and maintain laboratory notebook according to BDTI Standard Operating Procedures.
Wear proper safety equipment where required.
Under the direction of the 3D Printing & Prototyping Manager, contribute as needed in the R&D of 3D printing applications.
Perform other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
High school diploma is required.
Experience with 3D printed part post processing or machining activities or a combination of equivalent education and experience is preferred.
Experience with 3D printing is a strong plus; examples: Stereolithography (SLA), Carbon (DLS), Digital Light Processing (DLP), PolyJet 3D 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 3D 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 40 lbs. a must.
KEY ATTRIBUTES TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ROLE:
Must be a Self-Starter.
The ideal candidate is proactive (i.e. –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).
Must be able to operate well in a team environment.
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 3D printed parts or prototypes (i.e. – 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 3D 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 3D 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.
3D 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.
