Coming soon: see my other design and manufacturing work
CNC Machining
With proficiency mostly in Haas machines, I excel in every aspect of machine operation: from building work-holding fixtures, seamless code transfer (CAM to postprocessor), to meticulous machine and tool setup/configuration for each unique job.
I am confident in my ability to write, inspect, and swiftly correct G code in real-time on the CNC integrated controller. Additionally, I keep myself up to date to maximize the potential of newly integrated G codes and all Haas new features.
When it comes to operating CNC machines, I prioritize both efficiency and safety. Adhering to best practices and safety standards, I create a secure work environment at all times.
This are the CNC machines I have experience with:
Rotary and Indexing heads
CAD & CAM
Proficient in SolidWorks (2016 and up)
Proficient Siemens NX (11 and up)
Simulation and inspection
Proficient in Mastercam (2017 and up)
Adept Creo Parametric (4.0 only)
Some experience in BobCam (v30)
I have some experience using Autodesk Inventor, AutoCad, Fusion 360
