Jacob Nuechterlein

Dr. Jacob Nuechterlein is the founder and president of Elementum 3D in Erie, CO. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering (2010), Master of Science (2011), and Doctor of Philosophy (2013) at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO, within 7 years. Dr. Nuechterlein has been working in powder metallurgy for the past 15 years. Elementum 3D’s work with powder bed laser additive manufacturing is based on these principles.

His research with composition design, batching, mixing, and forming green parts directly relates to the handling and distribution of powder for additive manufacturing materials development. His thesis work in thermodynamics and formation kinetics of metal matrix composites is directly related to all 3D printing processes.
