Phil Tsao is a design engineer with a deep background in mechatronics. He works at Vancouver-based startup TZOA, specializing in electrical and mechanical design. Phil also operates a rapid prototyping company called Ember Prototypes, providing fast turnaround parts to engineers using 3D printers and laser cutters. Phil was introduced to 3D printing through the large in-house machine shop at his previous job, and it was this exposure that propelled his interest in not only 3D printing, but many other manufacturing technologies. With access to high quality SLA printing, Phil can now address client needs with Formlabs’ vast library of resins.
