Position: Graphics Algorithms Engineer Intern at Bambu Lab | Summer 2024

Overview

Bambu Lab is world’s best selling desktop FFF 3D printer company. I interned at Bambu Lab in the summer of 2024, working on the Bambu Suite. My main focus was on developing graphics algorithms for path planning and Gcode generation for the new flagship multi-tool head 3D printer H2D, I worked on vinyl cutting, draw pen, and laser functionalities. I also contributed to the backend pipeline for these features, ensuring good user experience and precision in the printing process.

Responsibilities

• Designed path planning graphics algorithms for new flagship multi-tool head 3D printer H2D, mainly worked on Bambu Suite
• Designed and implemented Gcode generation for new tool head, laser, vinyl cut, and draw pen functionalities
• Independently developed an algorithm for dynamically adjusting tool path planning in vinyl cutting, ensuring precision with passive knives
• Investigated and drafted technical solution for backend pipeline of draw pen and laser engrave on curved surfaces
• Contributed more than 1,000 lines of C++; improved vinyl cut and draw pen precision from 10mm to 2mm
• Wrote 10+ technical documentation about 3D printer tool head path planning algorithm design and experiment records, with a total of 20k+ words, helped coworkers to understand backend algorithms Pudong, Shanghai, China
