3D Print Technician

A 3D printer is one of the most demanding machines you can build.

Lasers, optics, precision motion, thermals, airflow, materials handling, chemistry, sensing, controls, and software all have to work at micron-scale precision, for thousands of layers, with almost no tolerance for error. Making that work reliably is an extraordinary engineering problem.

If you’re energized by the idea of making the impossible happen, come join us as a 3D Print Technician.

Our Engineering Print Farm is where we print parts for the engineering team to use for prototyping and quality purposes. Our team needs someone who is organized, detail-oriented, and industrious, ready to tackle (and print!) anything that comes their way. If you are excited to work with your hands, we want you to join the Form Team as an 3D Print Technician.
