Fuse 1 Future IR&D Contributions

​

• Laid the groundwork for an inert gas purge subsystem for the Fuse1 SLS printer from test validation to functioning prototype
  ▪ Developed design goals, test plans, and success metrics for the system, taking product and management input and pivoting
  week-to-week action plans in ways which continued to drive the most pertinent & highest risk tasks forward
  ▪ Conducted materials testing to categorize purge system specifications and generate optimized gas flow & concentration
  parameters; ultimately creating parts with a 25%+ gain in EAB across Formlab’s current SLS material portfolio
  ▪ Proposed & implemented a heat shielded prototype laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) device as a means of
  measuring powder embedded oxygen concentrations at the location of sintering
  ▪ Designed and owned subsystem CAD, generating multiple possible architectures, working with ID/UX, Product, and
  Marketing to align on a single vision that would ultimately deliver more value to the customer
