Hi, I'm Sherwin.
I'm a first year student of mechanical engineering at the University of California, San Diego. I grew up wanting to be a game programmer, and since discovering 3D printing in middle school I've been interested in making things.

Research
In 2025 I wrote a paper on a design for high speed FDM 3D printers called CoreXE.
Rather than having a motor on the printhead, CoreXE involves transferring torque to the printhead remotely using belts. The result is a differential system with double the power, and a 91% reduction in printhead mass on my prototype.
I presented it at the FAIM 2025 conference in New York. The paper was published in the conference proceedings on Springer, which you can find here.
