Composites Materials Expert (Advanced Materials)

ID: 740453
Mexico
Expert has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing 3D-printed construction through the development of the world's first photopolymer composite for large-scale 3D printing. She has led material formulation, process optimization, and quality control initiatives, directly contributing to the successful launch of three large-scale production facilities across the United States and Mexico. Her work includes advancing UV-curable composites, optimizing 3D printing hardware, and drafting an ASTM standard for industry-wide adoption.
Beyond 3D printing and construction materials, Expert has a strong track record in commercial product development, having worked with innovative consumer materials such as kinetic plasticine, hydrophobic sands, and photopolymer inks. She has successfully designed and implemented multiple industrial production lines across China, the U.S., and Mexico, managing everything from procurement and staffing to QA/QC standardization.
With a background in analytical chemistry and electrochemistry, Expert has combined scientific expertise with practical industrial applications, ensuring that innovative materials transition seamlessly from research to full-scale production.
