Prepare and support job requests from internal BD engineers around the world to help prototype designs using Carbon DLS. Think outside of the box to overcome limitations through CAD or software tricks - where hardware changes aren't possible.

During this Internship, I have worked on cost reduction using hobbyist level 3D printers to with cheaper, much more accessible materials, material testing through exposure of common medical cleaning solvents, streamlined washing process for certain resins, adjusted parameters for known good materials and validating them on a much cheaper and open-source platform. Currently, I am working with metal printers to help reduce residual stresses during the printing process to allow for easier post processing.

Reverse engineering various components provided by the 13th Airborne. These ranged from end plugs for water buffalos or Hummer side view mirror brackets to gladhand air handlers for air braking systems on heavier vehicles. These were all scanned and CAD files were recreated to then be 3D printed out of metal, nylon, or resins through EBM/LPBF, SLS/MJF, and DLP technologies

Working the classic high stress, fast-moving environment with a team that requires quick communication as well as a good ability to adapt to whatever may come our way. Also be able to keep good mental during rushes or bad days to keep up our excellent service. My goal is to eventually become a Team Lead and get certifications like ServSafe.

Managing a group of workers on usually busy days--keeping up with breaks, communicating within the kitchen but also making sure to communicate to the front of house managers and team leads as well. A skill that I've found particularly useful is making sure to not let bad days influence how I'm feeling--which results in affecting the rest of the staffs working mood. One of the biggest parts of this role was being able to give input for the daily operations of the store from small to big, and feel like I was heard.

My name is Sumitt Farmah, its been a long journey getting to where I am now as a 3rd year student. I enrolled into NCSU as a biomedical engineer, however, I wanted to be a key proponent of innovation and change in the technologies behind my ultimate goal: Improving prosthetics to give second chances to people who have gone through hardships in life. I'm working my way into research and internships little by little, and making sure I'm taking the time to talk to my professors and explore what North Carolina State University is really offering me!
