New Begining

Once again I am attempting to start a blog. This is for school purposes, so maybe I'll stick with it. The goal is to discuss my current position at work as it relates to an internship. Because I am working in RD&D I will not be able to post all information due to it's proprietary nature, but I will discuss everything I can.

For a brief overview, I am working on a digital printing-direct to substrate system. The printer I am using was purchased with accompanying RIP software. It was installed and then handed to me to see what I can do with it. I must learn all I can about the hardware, software and file formatting on my own. The object being to possibly use this equipment for rapid prototyping and/or small order order production. I will eventually be instructing another group on how to use this, and then handing over the equipment.

The second part of my job is with the "Finish Development Group". I will be creating original designs to help promote our company within developing markets such as automotive interiors and consumer electronics. I will also be working with design samples from existing customers.

These two responsibilities can possibly overlap into creating original designs and then determining the best printing process and actually producing samples.

Hopefully my future posts will be a little shorter and a bit more interesting.
