Instructor Bio:  Scott Cahoon is a Senior Design Engineer at MatterHackers and spends his days dreaming in 3D.  His specialties include creative design, systems analysis, prototyping, FDM/FFF, SLA, and SLS 3D printing.  Before MatterHackers, people kept bugging Scott to “make me stuff” so he founded his own 3D printed product design company, Outer Banks Lights, as lead designer.  He has also done industrial and mechanical design for SLA printers at FSL3D. Scott is an active participant in the quest to bring microfactory and additive manufacturing technologies to the creative end user.
