• Was employed in the R&D team for the development of uDesign : Orthodontic software for treatment planning using 3D printing for clear aligners

• Optimized the Additive Manufacturing build tray nesting algorithm by replacing the existing bounding volume hierarchical representation: axis aligned bounding boxes (AABBs) of STL parts with an asymptotically faster oriented bounding boxes (OBBs) algorithm

• Implemented oriented bounding box, oriented bounding box trees and collision detection of OBB trees, resulting in faster computation and improved nesting in the AM bin

• Assimilated information from research papers on spatial hierarchical data structures, implemented the algorithms using Go language, performed project duties independently in a startup environment.

• Resolved filename collision issues for maintenance and testing of the CAD data interoperability software ‘CADIQ’

• Debugged programs to identify model-based design (MBD) data quality issues in NX/CATIA in order to address them in CADIQ

• Studied cases of the utilization of CADIQ in validation of critical MBD and PMI changes for downstream re-use in Product Lifecycle Management

• Developed Python programming skill at a professional level through the course of the internship and used Mercurial to keep track of code changes

• Brainstormed with senior team members from offshore team to identify challenges in interoperability of laser scan data to CAD data, discussed an initial approach which consequently expanded into my Masters’ Thesis
