About Max Edward
Hello! My name is Max Edward
I was born in Glendale, Arizona, and have lived in Phoenix, Arizona my entire life. I am the only child of my parents, John and Jennifer Edward.
I am currently majoring in Digital Making & Fabrication alongside Robotics & Embedded Systems at the University of Advancing Technology with a projected graduation date of August 2023.
The core of my interests include 3D printing and modeling. I am also a photographer, avid motorcycle rider, and love to go hiking and camping.
Education – UAT
I’ve been attending the University of Advancing Technology since spring of 2021. I am currently majoring in Digital Making & Fabrication while also working towards a degree in Robotics & Embedded Systems. I am currently on track to graduate in fall of 2023.
Address
University of Advancing Technology – 2625 W. Baseline Tempe, AZ 85283
Digital Making & Fabrication
I chose the Digital Maker & Fabrication (DMF) degree because of all the things it’s comprised of. Not only is 3D printing and modeling such a big part of it, it also includes CNC machining, injection molding, vacuum forming, welding and so on. All of these different aspects of DMF make the world around us and make the things we use every day! I hope that with being at UAT, I can learn more and gain real-world experience in the manufacturing scene. As I spend more time learning, I hope to become a better engineer and take my skills to the stars!
Robotics & Embedded Systems
I didn’t initially plan on getting the Robotics & Embedded Systems (RES) degree when I started at UAT. However, hearing the potential to get both degrees within the same time period made me interested in pursuing it. The choice to do this was one of the best I made at UAT. The RES degree program offers so much in terms of electronics, mechatronics, programming, data analysis and much more. I believe the RES degree bonds well with the DMF degree and gives insight into how not only is manufacturing important, but also the components and programming that make a prototype into a final product.
Why I Chose Additive Manufacturing
I found additive manufacturing while I was a junior in high school. I had purchased a cheap 3D printer on a whim, remembering hearing about 3D printing many years prior. After getting the machine and realizing all the possible things I could create with it, I began my journey in additive manufacturing.
Skills & Experience
Over the years, I have gained countless skills and real-world experience.
3D printing and modeling including modeling-on-demand, print-for-hire, and 3D printing hardware and software training.
I have extensive knowledge in a multitude of software – including but not limited to: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Autodesk Inventor, Siemens NX, OnShape, TinkerCAD, FreeCAD, Meshmixer, UltiMaker Cura, Simplify3D, Prusa Slicer, and much more!
