Owen Asbridge

I am a sophomore Mechanical Engineering student at South Dakota Mines, with a 3.8 GPA and a passion for design, prototyping, and problem-solving. With over 5 years of experience in CAD and 3D printing, I specialize in mechanical design, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing.

Beyond the classroom, I’ve gained hands-on experience in construction and fabrication, developing skills in precision cutting, electrical work, and plumbing. I’m eager to apply my engineering knowledge through internships and projects, contributing to innovative product development and manufacturing advancements.
