3D Printing & Prototyping

As a founder of a prototyping business, I’ve designed and manufactured numerous custom 3D printed components for various applications. Below are a few examples of parts I designed, iterated on and printed.

Molecule Models

3D printed molecular models for visualization and educational purposes, including CO molecule and copper precursor structures.

Laboratory Equipment & Tools

Custom NMR tube holder designed for secure sample positioning during spectroscopic analysis.

Functional Prototypes & Industrial Components

Diverse functional prototypes: turbine component for fluid dynamics testing, flexible shoe last for footwear design, and traditional shoe last mold.

Materials & Technologies Used

Printing Technologies:

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) for robust functional parts

Materials:

Thermoplastics (PLA, ABS, PETG)
High-temperature materials for semiconductor applications (Nylon)
Metal-filled filaments for enhanced durability

Design Considerations

Each 3D printed component is designed with specific application requirements in mind:

Thermal stability for high-temperature processes
Chemical resistance for corrosive environments
Precision tolerances for exact component fitting
Structural integrity for long-term reliability
