Background

About Joseph Kusmer

Why buy a product that’s been manufactured by somebody else, when you can create something of your own design?” This mindset of mine has helped me find new ways to improve manufacturing processes, and help create new ones when necessary! Whether your focus is on additive manufacturing, subtractive or a bit of both; I've seen it all. I first developed an interest in 3D printing in high school, and it's only grown from there! I eventually followed this up with a fascination for metal casting found in the manufacturing courses I took in college, which led to my return to the foundry industry following my recent graduation from Kent State University. But what good is knowledge gained, and experiences had if they're not shared with those around you? I'm always looking for new ways to combine my educational & professional background with my public speaking experience to inspire those around me to discover the engineer, artist, and/or inventor within. If you have an idea for how to make this happen, don't hesitate to reach out! Whether it be as a panelist at a comic convention or as a guest speaker at a school; the highlight of my career has been doing my part to inspire the next generation of STEM professionals and creative individuals.
