I grew up in a place where curiosity wasn’t just encouraged — it was essential. At my Undergraduate University in Pune, India, I learned early that textbooks could teach theory, but the real lessons came only when I rolled up my sleeves. Designing. Prototyping. Failing. Fixing. Trying again until something moved, worked… and sometimes even raced. That instinct to turn ideas into reality eventually led me into additive manufacturing.
Technologies, I discovered that 3D printers were more than machines — they were catalysts for possibility. It was the first time I saw how design, materials, and precision engineering could come together to create something completely new. Leadership and teamwork became my second language.
As captain of the National Robotics Team, I led a multidisciplinary group to a top-6 national finish at DD ROBOCON 2024. With the Student Formula Team, I pushed CAD design, simulation, and optimization to help a machine perform at its peak. Along the way, I learned that great engineering isn’t just about perfect answers — it’s about better questions, bold decisions, and the courage to build something that didn’t exist yesterday.
Today, I’m continuing that journey at the University of Nottingham, pursuing my MSc in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing. I now work hands-on with FDM, SLS, and LPBF, learning how AM behaves from a machine, material, and design perspective. From design for AM (DfAM) to rapid prototyping, I’m building the foundation to engineer solutions that are lighter, stronger, cleaner — and ready for real manufacturing environments.
My goal is simple: shape the future of manufacturing by creating technologies and components that work, scale, and inspire. If you believe in turning bold ideas into tangible change, let’s connect. Let’s build something extraordinary.
Mechanical and Additive Manufacturing Engineer currently pursuing an MSc in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing at the University of Nottingham, with a background in mechanical engineering and hands-on experience in design, prototyping, and additive manufacturing processes. Experienced in CAD modeling, design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), and rapid prototyping using FDM and resin-based printing technologies, with exposure to LPBF principles and industrial AM workflows.
Previously worked as an Application Engineer at DigiFabb Technologies, supporting additive manufacturing operations including machine setup, slicing optimization, and prototype production for client applications. Contributed to engineering design and manufacturing projects through competitive robotics and Formula Student programs, including leading a 25-member robotics team to a top-6 national ranking at DD ROBOCON and supporting CAD development and testing for a Formula Student race vehicle.
Skilled in SolidWorks (CSWP certified), Fusion 360, and additive manufacturing design workflows, with experience translating engineering concepts into functional prototypes and manufacturable designs. Demonstrated ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, manage project timelines, and deliver engineering solutions under competition and production constraints.
Currently pursuing an MSc in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing at the University of Nottingham, focusing on additive manufacturing processes, design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), and rapid prototyping technologies including FDM, SLS, and LPBF. Coursework and projects emphasize the relationship between process parameters, materials, and mechanical performance, as well as practical design optimization for additive manufacturing applications.
Previously completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from Savitribai Phule Pune University, where I built a strong foundation in mechanical design, manufacturing processes, materials engineering, and CAD-based product development. During this period, I was actively involved in hands-on engineering projects including robotics and Formula Student vehicle design, applying engineering theory to real-world prototyping and manufacturing challenges.
My academic work also includes research and technical writing on advanced manufacturing topics.
