Are you a student who loves to tinker, create, and bring big ideas to life? As a Technician at Kao ICS, you won't just be assisting, you’ll be inventing, experimenting, and getting your hands on some of the coolest tech on campus.

Here’s what you’ll get to practice with and master:

·  3D Scanning, CAD Modeling & 3D Printing – Learn how to design, scan, and print 3D models from start to finish.

·  Resin & Powder Printing (Wet Lab) – Work with advanced materials in a lab setting to create high-detail prints.
