- Provide consistent output of new content to support product launches, Amazon listings, and promotional campaigns.
- When needed, design or adapt 3D models to fit specific marketing or product needs.
- Capture high-quality photographs of printed models for listings, social media, and promotional use.
- Actively engage with the 3D printing community to identify trends, innovative designs, and new content opportunities.
Requirements
- Strong interest in 3D printing, with hands-on experience preferred.
- Familiarity with 3D modeling software (e.g., Blender, Fusion 360, SolidWorks) is a plus.
