  • Jun 2006 - Present

  Initially designed and produced CNC machines for Industry, Aerospace and Scientific Research centres. These machines needed knowledge in machine function, electronics, tensile and hardness of all materials, machining to fine tolerances, pneumatic and hydraulic knowledge, electrical function-hardware, programming and knowledge of all the variables for all Computer controlled equipment. Shifted focus from producing CNC machines to providing a CNC Cutting and Design Service which is capable of translating design requirements into design concepts and following this through to production. Also manufacture high end scientific equipment for research and analytical laboratories. As Managing Director my responsibilities include: • Liaising with companies and individuals to provide consultancy for Research & Development of products • Implementing all manufacturing needs for customers • Providing design/manufacturing expertise to suit the clients budget Application of these Key Competencies: • All-round Problem Solving across the Engineering field, • Materials Specialist • Prototype design and development • 2D & 3D CNC cutting and machining • Electronics & software development • PLC, Hydraulic, & Pneumatic system design • 3D Modelling (SolidWorks) • 2D Assembly & detail drafting • Laser scanning integration • 3D Printing integration • Project Management 2008 Client: QuickStep Aerospace Composites Project: Carbon Fibre Beam Fabrication Machine Designed a CNC production machine for manufacturing Carbon Fibre components up to six meters long. The project presented challenges not encountered in this industry before, the resolution of which required mechanical engineering, CFD, multi axis programming, and multi axis vacuum pick and place systems. The final design was delivered on time and met all design requirements. Show less
