Greg Paulsen

How many years of experience do you have in injection molding?

I have worked on the design-side of molded parts for about ten years, and with our molding and tooling experts at Xometry for the last five years.

What’s your favorite thing to mold?

I love working on beautiful, glossy, parts made of polycarbonate or acrylic - every project is a showpiece!

What’s your favorite IM tip?

Start your DFM feedback in parallel with your prototyping efforts. This will save you time and headaches when you move to molding.

What’s the most unique/memorable project you can share with us?

My first molded project was an ergonomic button pad. I prototyped it first with clay, then carved balsa foam, and once the feel was right I moved to CAD for SLS prints to share with our customer. It was a learning experience to take a design from 3D printing to molding, and once I had the product in hand it was thrilling!

Don't forget to add draft!

Seeing a program go from "start to finish." I was able to work on multiple programs that are now being used in hospitals to help patients with different medical issues.
