About this title

About the Author

Sean Aranda began his 3D printing explorations by becoming the Operations Manager for SD3D in early 2015.  With over a dozen FDM machines and a few hundred clients, Sean was able to amass well over 75,000 hours of successful printing experience. 

Sean was also able to receive extensive experience with material variations and profile settings required for a successful print, since SD3D offers over 16 different types of FDM 3D printing materials. While he had a very basic 3D printing background before starting at SD3D, Sean's knowledge of printing failures grew rapidly as he helped all clients get a usable 3D print within the promised time frame. 

He now runs a YouTube channel called The 3D Print General where he offers 3D printing tutorials and goes over some fun prints. 

About the Editor: David is an experienced manufacturing engineer, project manager and entrepreneur. Prior to co-founding SD3D in 2013, David worked at Aptera Motors as a project manager for over a dozen electrical and mechanical engineers. David later worked as a manufacturing engineer for the Large Compressor Set and Mechanical Drive (LCSMD) division for Solar Turbines.  David holds a bachelor's of science degree in mechanical engineering from San Diego State University and is EIT accredited with the California Board for Professional Engineers.

Mr. Feeney is the CEO and head of the technology development at SD3D. He has racked up hundreds of thousands of 3D printing hours throughout his career and is now utilizing his experience by helping to advance the entire 3D printing industry. Visit SD3D.com now to find out more!
