I have over six years of experience in the metal AM and machine tools industry.My core competencies include 3D printing, part screening for AM, key account management, business development and content creation. I specialize in support generation for metal AM, benchmarking of metal AM machines, testing and validation for metal AM, and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). I am passionate about value addition using LPBF, which means enhancing the functionality, performance, or quality of products or processes using LPBF. My goal is to leverage my skills and knowledge to create value for my clients and stakeholders, and to advance the adoption and development of metal AM technologies.
