Business Owner

Evan Malone is founder and president of NextFab Studio which opened in January 2010. He holds a BA degree in physics from the University of Pennsylvania and a M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical and systems engineering from Cornell University. He has worked on particle accelerators at the Fermilab high-​energy physics laboratory outside of Chicago and build soccer-​playing robots as a part of Cornell University’s 2002 World Champion RoboCup team. Evan’s doctoral research involved trying (not quite succeeding) to 3D print complete robots that would walk (or swim) out of the printer. He is also co-​creator of the Fab@Home project, which allows anyone to build and operate their own multi-​material 3D printer system. Evan currently serves as the chair of ASTM F42.04 Subcommittee on Design for Additive Manufacturing.
