Fields for 3D Printing

Hello. I was wondering what fields would be good to go into if I wanted to work on 3D printers (such as RepRap). I was thinking CAD and some type of engineering. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

... exchangeable toolheads
- extruders
- dispensers
- dremel
- cutting knife
- laser
- SMD pick'n'placer
- scanner
- measuring probe
- drawing pen

RepRap is wide enough that, if you want to work on it, studying almost any area of science/engineering/computer science will let you contribute directly...

For example, if you became a polymer chemist you could help develop support materials.

If you study mechanical engineering you could design better Mendels.

If you study computer science you can improve the RepRap software to improve print quality.

Study electrical engineering and you could make RepRap boards more plug-n-play...

It's up to you! What do you enjoy?
