What does an additive manufacturing engineering intern do?

An Additive Manufacturing Engineering Intern assists engineering teams by supporting the design, development, and testing of 3D-printed parts and products. Their responsibilities often include preparing CAD models, operating and maintaining 3D printers, conducting material and quality tests, and documenting results. Interns gain hands-on experience with additive manufacturing technologies, such as FDM, SLA, or SLS, while learning about prototyping, design optimization, and production processes. They work closely with experienced engineers to solve real-world manufacturing challenges and contribute to innovative projects.
