• Solidworks Tool Designer

  • Dec 2009 - Jul 2014

  In this position I utilize both Solidworks and AutoCad with proficiency to perform part design, CNC friendly tool design, inspection fixtures, and to manage and create complex assemblies. Tool design almost always includes the generation of forming dies to be utilized for forming thin sheet metal on hydraulic presses. In addition to forming dies, I'm also responsible for various supplementary tooling such as welding fixtures, overlays for location of hardware and fabrication tooling. I've also used Solidworks Part design to create parts eventually produced by rapid prototyping solutions.In addition to the development of the forming tool and its associated components, I've also been responsible for the design of production inspection equipment. These are traditionally subject to much greater tolerance scrutiny and require great flexibility and creativity on the behalf of the designer. Show less

• Design Drafter

  • Jun 2009 - Jul 2014

  In this position I use both Solidworks and AutoCAD to create accurate and functional drawings for parts, assemblies, inspection fixtures, and 1 to 1 inspection profiles.During the course of my employment I have had the privilege of participating in a 12-week GD & T course and earned a certificate with distinction. Since that time, I have often been able to utilize this skill-set for interpretation of tolerances and the creation of effective inspection equipment.I am very comfortable reading and interpreting blueprints and assessing part definition from a print in order to engineer and design parts.
