Job Description & How to Apply Below
Printers make geometry. You make it an object someone wants to hold — forty at a time, on a deadline.
We run 5,000+ parts a week. The ones that have to look perfect come to you.
Anyone can pull a part off a printer. Turning it into something a client puts in front of their own customer is a craft, and it is usually what decides whether they come back. This is a bench role for someone who wants to be the best finisher in the building, and to set the standard the rest of the floor works to.
Whatyou'll do
- 01 Finish FDM and SLA parts to cosmetic standard — support removal, sanding, filling, priming, painting
- 03 Hit the same finish on part forty as on part one — batch consistency is the job, not a bonus
- 04 Solve surface problems at the bench — kill layer lines and seams, rescue flawed parts, match texture and color across a set
- 05 Build the jigs, fixtures, and sanding aids that make a good finish repeatable instead of heroic
- 06 Own the cosmetic call — you decide what ships and what goes back
- 07 Set the finishing standard: document what you do so the next person can hit the same result
- 08 Advise on print orientation and support strategy when a part is going to be a finishing problem
- 09 Work the production system — pull from the queue, log your status, keep the schedule honest
- 10 Flag material, tooling, and machine needs before they slow the bench down
- 11 Keep the finishing area clean, ventilated, and organized
- 01 1–2 years hands‑on: model making, prop or set fabrication, sculpture, woodshop, metal shop, or a finishing bench
- 02 Real skill with hand tools and finishing materials — abrasives, fillers, primers, spray and airbrush, adhesives
- 03 A portfolio, or photos of things you have made and finished
- 04 Familiarity with FDM or SLA 3D printing and its post‑processing quirks
- 05 Comfortable working inside a system — a queue, a schedule, logged work, software that tracks jobs
- 06 The eye — you catch the flaw before the client does, and you know when a part is actually done
- 07 Patience under deadline. Good finishing is slow work done fast.
