Robin ter Heide

Mechanical engineering student at TU Delft and 3D printing specialist.

3 years ago, I bought my first 3D printer. Since then, I've been hooked. I love building my own printers, designing and prototyping useful objects, tinkering and troubleshooting with the hardware, exploring different softwares like SolidWorks, Fusion360, and Blender, and generally getting busy with the mechanics of these technologies. With years of experience with 3D printers and mechanical design I have now built up a unique skillset that allows me to rapidly prototype and solve engineering challenges.

In our current project about 3D printing mycelium, I modify my own 3D printers to be able to extrude mycelium composite pastes as well as model our target products and shapes in SolidWorks, Fusion360, Blender, and Grasshopper.
