Research & Development Intern
Apium Additive Technologies GmbH. Karlsruhe, Germany
The main objective of my internship was to test the printing of materials such as PEI and POM-C in the FDM printer of the company, which was initially designed only to print PEEK. This required doing research studies about high perfomance polymers and understanding the properties of the materials, in order to provide solutions for processing different high performance polymers in the FDM printer.
I also helped to provide technical support to assemble, operate, maintain and develop the FDM 3D Printers and managed print jobs for the clients

About me
María Alejandra Jaspe Galán
Mechanical Engineer
​
Objective: I recently graduated and I am eager to start working, but not in any place. I want to go somewhere I have never been, meet new people, get to know another culture, practice my languages or learn new ones, but specially I want to find a place where I put all my skills and abilities to the limit, in a company that challenges me every day, that allows me to be part of or lead amazing projects, but that also makes me feel at home, in which I am driven by motivation to be a better engineer.
​
I want to keep learning, succeeding, and most important I want to feel I am doing something really significant and revolutionary, as any engineer should be doing.
