Lothric Labs Joins Advisory Board at DCSD Legacy Campus
Jonathan, founder and CEO of Lothric Labs, has been appointed as an Advisory Board Member in Advanced Manufacturing at the DCSD Legacy Campus. A milestone that reflects both the district’s forward‑leaning vision and the growing influence of industry‑driven education in Colorado.
This partnership is centered on a shared mission: building real, modern learning pathways that prepare students for the future of fabrication, engineering, and digital manufacturing. At the heart of that work are two pillars where Lothric Labs brings deep expertise in 3D printing and reverse engineering.
Building Pathways That Match Real Industry Needs
Students today aren’t just looking for exposure to technology; they’re looking for skills that translate directly into the workplace. Through this advisory role, Jonathan and Lothric Labs are helping DCSD design programs that mirror the workflows used in actual production environments:
Hands‑on additive manufacturing, from FDM and SLA fundamentals to advanced materials and real‑world print‑farm operations.
Reverse engineering workflows, including scanning, CAD reconstruction, tolerance analysis, and design‑for‑manufacture principles.
Problem‑solving through iteration, teaching students how to diagnose failures, refine designs, and think like engineers.
These pathways aren’t theoretical. They’re built around the same tools, constraints, and decision‑making processes used by modern manufacturers, giving students a genuine head start whether they pursue technical careers or continue into engineering programs.
Why This Matters for the Region
Colorado’s manufacturing landscape is evolving quickly. Companies are adopting additive workflows, integrating digital twins, and reshaping how products move from concept to production. By aligning education with these shifts, DCSD is ensuring its students aren’t just learning about technology. They’re learning how to use it to solve real problems.
Jonathan’s appointment signals a commitment to bridging industry and education in a way that’s practical, scalable, and grounded in real expertise. For Lothric Labs, it’s an opportunity to help shape the next generation of makers, engineers, and innovators.
A Shared Vision for the Future
The collaboration between Lothric Labs and the Legacy Campus is more than an advisory role. it’s a long‑term investment in building a talent pipeline that understands modern manufacturing from the inside out. By giving students access to professional‑grade tools, authentic engineering challenges, and mentorship from active industry leaders, DCSD is setting a new standard for what advanced manufacturing education can look like.
This is an exciting step forward for the district, the campus, and the future of digital fabrication in Colorado.
