Hi Everyone!
I’m Dr. Vivek Gupta, currently working as the Business Growth Manager – Prototype at WOL3D, India’s leading consumer 3D printing company. In this role, I lead strategic and technical initiatives around rapid prototyping, 3D printing applications, and product innovation.
Previously, I worked as a Senior Mechatronics Engineer at Next Big Innovation Labs® (NBIL), where I was actively involved in the design and development of biomedical devices. My work spanned across product design, system architecture, technical leadership, prototyping, testing, quality assurance, and project management — contributing to both manufacturing and R&D efforts.
🎓 My academic journey includes a Ph.D. from IIT Delhi, where I conducted research at the Diseases and Injuries Mechanics Lab (DIML) under the mentorship of Prof. Arnab Chanda. Prior to that, I worked as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Patna.
🧠 My core expertise lies in 3D Printing, Product Design and Development, especially for Healthcare and biomedical applications. Key highlights of my work include:
Designing and fabricating an ultra-low-cost (< ₹30K) Biaxial Testing Device for soft tissue/scaffold characterization.
Developing and optimizing auxetic patterns for biomedical use, particularly as auxetic skin grafts for treating extensive burn injuries.
🚀 I’m passionate about Biomedical Device Innovation, 3D Printing, and the intersection of engineering, design, and advanced healthcare. I’m always excited to explore new ideas and collaborate with researchers, startups, and industry leaders working on impactful technologies.
🤝 Let’s connect and co-create the future of 3D Printing and Healthcare through cutting-edge design, innovation, and Digital Manufacturing!
