Internship in CAD Design and FDM 3D printing at Think3DDD, a Berlin-based MedTech startup. Work on real products influencing modern healthcare solutions.
Responsibilities
CAD design & modeling – design, adapt and further develop 3D models for orthopedic aids and test components using accessible CAD tools (e.g., Fusion 360, Tinkercad, Blender).
Parametric & generative design – develop customizable, patient-specific models based on 3D scan data or measurements.
FDM 3D printing – slicing & process optimization – prepare print files with slicing software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer), select suitable print parameters and materials (PLA, PETG, TPU, bio-based filaments).
Quality assurance & post-processing – inspect printed parts for dimensional accuracy, strength and fit.
Printer operation & maintenance – support the operation and upkeep of our FDM printer fleet.
Team collaboration – work closely with software development, orthotic/orthopedic technicians and product development to make designs practical and manufacturable.
Requirements
Enrolled student in a relevant degree program, e.g.: Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, Medical Engineering, Industrial Design, Product Design, Technical Design or a comparable subject with a focus on CAD, design or manufacturing engineering.
Initial experience with CAD software – e.g., Fusion 360, Meshmixer, Tinkercad or Blender (experience with SolidWorks, CATIA or similar is also welcome).
Basic understanding of FDM 3D printing (print parameters, materials, support structures, slicing).
Interest in parametric or generative design.
Careful, structured working style and technical understanding.
Team spirit, initiative and willingness to learn.
Good German or English language skills.
Benefits
Hands-on experience – work on real parts and products with a direct impact on medical technology.
Creative freedom – contribute your own ideas for CAD designs, print strategies or material experiments.
Startup culture – flat hierarchies, short decision-making paths and room for ideas.
Prime location in Berlin-Adlershof – technology park and research environment.
Flexible working hours & home office option.
Meaning & impact – work on products that make healthcare more sustainable.
Networking – contacts with orthotic technicians, research institutions and MedTech partners.
