Jan 4, Dedan Kimathi University 3D Printer Engineering Intern Jobs in Kenya

Summary:

Additive manufacturing (AM), one of the cornerstones of Industry 4.0, has recently gained popularity. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is a part of AM, operating at the heart of the new technology.

The growing competitiveness has prompted considerable changes in the product development process for corporations and their designers. The topic of unit cost in AM remains inconclusive. While some authors have found that the relationship between production quantity and unit cost is absent in AM, others recent studies have argued that the average unit cost in AM depends on the manufactured quantity.

Currently, the unit cost of AM can be higher than traditional methods, as most applications that have been reported use AM to produce small-scale products. This remains an obstacle to realizing the full potential of AM technology, as it can overshadow the potential positive benefits of increasing AM.

This internship aimed at democratizing 3D printing and making technology available to individual entrepreneurs or the public. In addition, it will address the need for knowledge to achieve behavioral changes, arguing that an inexperienced 3D printing user would produce significant waste, use more material, and require longer printing times.
