“Additive manufacturing has so much potential to bring unique designs to life, to improve client outcomes and have a positive impact on a person’s quality of life.”

About Thomas

Thomas Burton, MASc Eng
Additive Manufacturing Engineer

Growing up immersed in sports as a child, Thomas developed a strong passion for human movement and biomechanics. This led to post secondary studies in Biomedical Engineering, where he furthered his interests through his undergraduate and graduate engineering studies.

As an Additive Manufacturing Engineer, Thomas is leading our 3D printing intiatives and integrating digital workflows into our practice at Boundless. He oversees all aspects of the process, and you will often see him working with clients during scans, setting up the printing process, or mentoring students. He has developed a passion for design and additive manufacturing, bringing designs to life that have positive outcomes on a patients quality of life.

Thomas holds a Bachelors and Masters of Engineering Science from the University of Ottawa where he studied robotic assistive exoskeletons, orthopaedic implants and other assistive technologies. A large portion of his research was predicting how exoskeleton technologies change gait patterns, improve balance, and effect metabolic cost. His long term goal is to bridge the gap between the medical field and engineering, bringing advancing technology into clinical practice.
