Short bio

Use this paragraph in a program, event page, or speaker introduction.

Charles Lu is the founder of 3Ready Prototyping Lab, a Philippines-based independent prototyping lab. He works across rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing, research fabrication, product development, and technical repair, and speaks from hands-on project experience.

Longer introductions can be shaped around the audience, event, and learning outcome.

Talk topics

Each topic can be adapted for a keynote, class, panel, or practical session.

Engineering practice

What makes engineering work in the real world?

Teamwork, communication, creative thinking, and decisions made when a project has incomplete information.

Additive manufacturing

From first print to useful prototype

Material choice, testing, and the changes that turn a printed shape into working evidence.

Research and fabrication

Making research physical

Moving from a research question to repeatable parts, material-specific fabrication, and an examinable prototype.

Entrepreneurship

MEM to Market

Lessons from manufacturing a business, with a focus on useful problems and learning through physical iterations.

Formats

Sessions can be delivered in person or online for audiences worldwide.

45–60 minutes
