As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a driven and hands-on Production Intern to support our fabrication and production processes.

What You’ll Be Doing:

This is not a passive internship—you’ll be rolling up your sleeves and working alongside experienced professionals to gain hands-on experience in fabrication, finishing, and production management. If you’re detail-oriented and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this role is for you. Key responsibilities include:

• Print Finishing & Assembly – Removing supports on FDM and SLA prints, sanding and assembling SLA prints to cosmetic perfection.
• Quality Assurance & Production Support – Assisting in initial and secondary QA checks, ensuring prints meet our standards.
• Machine Operation & Maintenance – Learning to prepare and operate printers for production runs, assisting in light machine repairs (e.g., clogs, nozzle changes).
• Production Scheduling & Workflow Management – Helping prioritize workloads across multiple orders with varying due dates.
• Technical Troubleshooting – Shadowing experienced technicians to diagnose and document machine issues.
• Process Improvement & Documentation – Supporting workflow optimizations and maintaining our MES system for tracking print jobs.

Who You Are:

• Detail-oriented and precise – You take pride in ensuring the highest quality standards are met.
• Technically curious – You’re eager to learn the intricacies of fabrication, 3D printing, and production workflows.
• Highly organized – You can manage multiple tasks efficiently in a fast-paced setting.
• Collaborative and communicative – You work well with a team and can effectively share workload updates.
• Problem-solver – You approach challenges with a solutions-driven mindset.
