Settings are what brings Formlabs innovations in materials, hardware, and software technologies together for the users. The Settings Optimization (SetOps) team strives to continuously improve the in-field performance of these settings. A critical part of this process is validating new and updated settings before they are released externally to public users. 

A Settings Optimization Validation Intern plays a key role in performing this by executing, examining, documenting, and reporting on a large number of prints on a printer farm. They also work closely with SetOps engineers and other teams to share and discuss results as well as suggest improvements. If you are enthusiastic about 3D printing, want hands-on experience with printers, and are interested in exploring the 3D printing industry, this is the opportunity for you.
