Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Ziv is an additive manufacturing leader and maker with nine years of hands-on experience driving AM adoption for the U.S. Navy at NSWC Carderock, where he now leads the Additive Manufacturing Branch. He combines technical depth in 3D printing, PCB design, materials like PEEK and polycarbonate, and standards/spec development with practical product delivery through his company Omnifacturing. A Virginia Tech mechanical engineering graduate, Scott cut his teeth founding a student 3D-printing service, building custom printers, and teaching makerspaces—experiences that translate into pragmatic solutions for obsolete or hard-to-source parts. He routinely coordinates industry, academia, and sailors to qualify parts for shipboard use and shortens lead times via scanning, reverse engineering, and rapid manufacture. Active online via a project blog and GitHub, he blends engineering management with maker curiosity and a bias for hands-on prototyping. Notably, his career spans both operational military applications and small-business entrepreneurship, giving him a rare dual perspective on scale and agility.
