Five Minutes with a Millennial: Shane Bulger

Shane Bulger 
CAD Designer at NDX Thayer
Mechanicsburg, PA


How he got his start: When I was about to graduate from college with a degree in 3D animation, my school’s career services office suggested a job at Thayer designing teeth. I had no knowledge of the dental lab industry; I thought the dentists did all the restorative work. I started with Thayer in 2015 and now I can do just about everything in the CAD/CAM department.


Favorite part of the job: We just got into 3D printing for models and I love it. I had a little 3D printing experience in my side business of designing masks and replica movie props and now I’m the lab’s go-to guy for 3D printing. We have two printers—the Formlabs Form 2 and Asiga Pro from Whip Mix—and I made it my mission to know the machines backwards and forwards.
