Tooling Engineer
I started in Plastics from Cal Poly Pomona, Engineering department through designing molds, and product development.I ended up at a small Custom Molder exposed to very large quantity of different products and materials. It was an experience. Only draw back with custom molders is that they don't have to time to practice Engineering. Physics, Chemistry and Calculus take second to Processing Experience. They run like an Fire Department where all solutions are immediate. It's impossible to institute Science and Engineering principles. Finished my time there by developing a Tri-gasket overmold. Big cost savings from three hand loaded gasket. Team of myself, customer engineer, flow analysis engineer, mold maker and molding director.
