ROLE
Working Student / High-Tech Workshop Support

PERIOD
Dec 2025 – Present

ORGANIZATION
UnternehmerTUM MakerSpace

LOCATION

Garching / Munich, Germany

ENVIRONMENT
German-speaking rapid prototyping and startup workshop

SCOPE
Machine support, CAD/CAM troubleshooting, member assistance, equipment readiness, and fabrication guidance

MAIN VALUE
Helping users move from design intent to manufacturable prototype while keeping workshop operations reliable, safe and accessible

Technical capabilities

CAD/CAM and design preparation

Helping members correct CAD files, prepare manufacturing-ready geometry, adjust Fusion 360 workflows and translate design intent into machine-ready files.

CAD/CAM and design preparation

CNC machining support

Supporting wood and metal CNC workflows, including manufacturability checks, setup logic, toolpath preparation, machine operation support and troubleshooting.

CNC machining support

Laser cutting workflows

Helping users prepare cut files, understand material limits, adjust designs for laser cutting and execute jobs safely and efficiently.

Laser cutting workflows

Additive manufacturing

Supporting 3D printing workflows across prototyping needs, including print preparation, machine readiness, troubleshooting and iteration.

Electronics and PCB workflows

Supporting electronics-related prototyping, soldering workstations, measuring setups, PCB preparation workflows, rework tasks and basic debugging.

CAD/CAM and design preparation

Metalworking and manual machining

Hands-on exposure to milling, drilling, turning, cutting, forming and general metal fabrication workflows.

Welding and fabrication support

Supporting workshop fabrication environments involving TIG, MIG/MAG welding preparation, joining logic, part fit-up and manufacturing assistance.

Additive manufacturing

Supporting 3D printing workflows across prototyping needs, including print preparation, machine readiness, troubleshooting and iteration.

Machine troubleshooting and readiness

Checking machine functionality, identifying operational problems, supporting users when machines fail, and helping determine whether issues come from the file, setup, material, tool or machine.

Electronics and PCB workflows

Supporting electronics-related prototyping, soldering workstations, measuring setups, PCB preparation workflows, rework tasks and basic debugging.

Startup prototype support

Helping startups and technical teams move from concept to functional prototype through process selection, CAD/CAM correction, fabrication planning and hands-on manufacturing support.

Prototype Support Workflow

My role at UnternehmerTUM MakerSpace is to help users move from design intent to manufacturable prototypes. This means reviewing CAD/CAM files, identifying the right fabrication process, checking machine readiness, supporting setup and fabrication, and troubleshooting issues when something does not work as expected. The value is not only operating machines, but helping students, startups and technical teams connect design decisions with real manufacturing constraints.

Machine Areas

I work across multiple prototyping and fabrication areas, including CNC machining, laser cutting, additive manufacturing, electronics, PCB-related workflows, metalworking, welding environments and general workshop equipment. My day-to-day work includes machine checks, user support, CAD/CAM corrections, fabrication guidance and troubleshooting when problems come from the file, material, setup, toolpath, machine or process selection.

What this experience demonstrates

• Broad manufacturing process literacy

• CAD-to-machine workflow understanding

• CNC machining exposure Laser cutting and 3D printing support

• Electronics and PCB prototyping support

• Metalworking and welding environment exposure

• Machine troubleshooting Startup prototyping support

• Technical communication with users
