About

In my fourth year of University, I worked in a group to create a start-up with the vision of creating a fully automated 3D printing service. I was responsible for developing a set of tools which could analyse STL (3D model) files to look for known design flaws which can cause 3D printed to fail. I also developed a website where people could submit files to be 3D printed to be stored in a database, and raspberry pi code to pull the parts from the database and send the print commands to a connected 3D-printer.
