3D Scanning, Reverse-Engineering Optimisation and 3D Print Farm Establishment -12233

Project Goals and Objectives
Company is a specialist manufacturer in the motorsport supply chain. The business aims to strengthen its digital capability by improving its reverse-engineering workflow using 3D scanning and developing a small-scale 3D print farm. These advancements will support future ambitions including a digital parts repository and a heritage motorsport archiving service. The internship will give hands-on experience in scanning, additive manufacturing, workflow optimisation, and digital process development.

Specific objectives are to:

• Optimise the reverse-engineering workflow using the Shining EinScan scanner.
• Establish a reliable 3D print farm using the Creality K2+.
• Implement data capture and monitoring of print operations.
• Develop an automated or semi-automated method of sending files for manufacture.
• Lay the foundations for a digital parts repository and archiving system.

Intern Skills Required

 The intern will have: 

• Interest in digital manufacturing and reverse engineering.
• Basic experience with 3D CAD or scanning Understanding of 3D printing workflows.
• Optional coding or automation experience (e.g., Python, APIs).
• Strong documentation and problem-solving skills. 
  

Intern Roles and Responsibilities

The intern will:

• Operate and optimise 3D scanning equipment and software.
• Produce CAD-ready models from scan data.
• Configure and operate 3D printers for consistent output.
• Develop automated workflows for print submissions. Capture and analyse print performance data.
• Document digital workflows and create training materials. Present final recommendations to the company
