- Understanding file formats and interchange: .f3d (Fusion native), STL (for 3D printing), STEP/IGES/Parasolid (neutral exchange), .nc (G-code output).
- Basic knowledge of 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLA/DLP, SLS/MJF) for functional prototyping.
- Exposure to GD&T (ASME Y14.5), tolerances, and design for CNC machining.
- Mechanical aptitude and eagerness to learn manufacturing processes (milling, turning, fixturing).
