Today marks 2 years since Post Processing Technician, Brian Alberta, joined the Purple team! 😊
Brian removes and cleans parts from our 3D printers using post-processing techniques such as sandblasting, water-jetting, and dyeing. He makes sure all the machines are clean and ready for their next print.
His favorite thing about working at Purple is that he is surrounded by colleagues that teach him something new every day and that are fun to be around. (And the candy at our front desk is a nice bonus.) In his free time, Brian enjoys working out at his at-home gym and creating 3D parts for his Etsy shop.
We are so thankful for Brian’s hard work and positivity and love having him as part of the Purple team! 😊

We are so thankful for Jerriel's passion and hard work and love having him as part of the Purple team! 😊
