  Assisted in the development and integration of an ABB IRB 8700 robot for the milling of stone replications of sculptures for artists such as Leonid Lerman, James Surls, and Eric Fischl. Wrote programs using ARPP for the realization of stone sculptures, made recommendations for tooling and fixtures, and trained incoming staff on programming the robot. Took high quality 3D scans of original sculptures with an Artec Eva, then prepared and cleaned the 3D files to be ready for milling on the robot.

  Coordinated with a team of artists and designers to realize sculptures, interactive experiences, signage, and sets for commercials and events. I programmed, operated and maintained a 3-axis CNC (PRS ShopBot Alpha) to mill parts for multi-piece assemblies out of various woods and plastics. My function at Gamma NYC was to see a project through from start to finish. I sourced, acquired, and transported materials to match 3D designs created in Rhino, programmed the 3D files for CNC milling, followed by hand finishing, assembly, transportation to job site, and installation. Some notable clients include Spike Lee, Viacom, Verizon, MTV, and Beyonce. Show less
