I managed all the aspects of transitioning complex projects utilising AM capability from the prototyping stage to a full-on manufacturing cell with full vertical integration within business. Developed a standardised tool kit for accurate quotations and quality controls for DMLS components.
Managed an introduction and development of build parameters and processes for printing Titanium and AlSi10 as well as led research Innovate UK funded projects on joining of dissimilar materials.
My primary role was to develop Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods for rapid prototyping of lightweight pressure-tight metallic components and industrialise the process in a low-volume manufacturing environment.
Built a strong customer base by helping customers to better understand requirements and technology advantages and limitations using Additive Manufacturing to achieve their goals, guiding material choice and geometry development.
Project managed and delivered small run/prototype high-value projects including moulded carbon laminate, machined, fabricated and AM components.
