What are the responsibilities and job description for the 3D Model Finisher – 3D Printing position at LanceSoft, Inc.?
Position Title: 3D Model Finisher - 3D Printing (Contingent)
Work days/hours: Monday through Friday (8am to 5pm).
Pay rate: $21/hr
**ONSITE DAILY - LOCALS ONLY**
GENERAL FUNCTION:
The 3D Model Finisher is an essential part of Client’s Digital Engineering (DE) 3D Printing & Prototyping team and will have the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of Client’s next-generation medical products and enhance the current product portfolio. ¿Under the general direction of 3D Printing & Prototyping management, the Engineering Technician I will provide quality “finished” 3D printed models 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 models according to defined standard operating procedures.
• Hand finish 3D printed models 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 model 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 model finishing 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 models while ensuring fine detail and accuracy.
• Open to exploring new techniques related to Advanced Prototyping or CAE-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.
o 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.
o Candidates must have clear communication skills (written & verbal skills).
o The ideal candidate will not be afraid to ask questions or alert others of problems.
• Attention to detail is extremely important.
o The job revolves around the finishing processing of small plastic prototypes (i.e. - using sandpaper and files, performing tasks such as painting and dying).
o The ideal candidate might be someone that enjoys working on little plastic models or doing arts & crafts.
o The ideal candidate should be able to identify when there is a problem with a model and be able to alert the responsible team members to that problem.
• Should enjoy working with their hands.
o This position requires an individual to clean, sand and handle plastic prototypes with their hands while following all safety procedures and wearing proper PPE.
• Should be open to exploring new techniques to enhance post processing capabilities.
o 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing is an ever-evolving group of technologies. That means the way we post process parts does evolve as well.
o The ideal candidate will be open to change and willing to explore these new techniques.
o If a candidate brings new finishing techniques / ideas with them, that is a bonus.
• Dedication & Ownership of tasks is a must.
o 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.
Work days/hours: Monday through Friday (8am to 5pm).
