About Mike Krull

Design primarily of plastic and sheet metal parts using Pro/Engineer for:Consumer electronics productsIndustrial productsAutomotiveMedical DevicesCreating animations illustrating use, assembly and highlighting features and demonstrating new concepts to engineering and other departments (marketing, sales, manufacturing....etc)Design of welding jigs and fixtures (weldments and machined components) for automotive weld shop as well as design of robotic welding stations using robotic and Kinematic simulation packages in CATIA (Version 3)Team Collaboration:I have always been part of a team. Some of the teams were as small as 2 people, and others were as large as 20. I have always appreciated and relied on the input from others when being lead by someone else or when leading a team. I have found that the input from non team members and non technical people can be just as valuable.Specialties: Heavy use of surfacing in proe for sculpted plastic partsAnimation of products using IPA (Interactive Product Animator)Hands-on trouble shooting assembly and manufacturing problems.Some FEA using Mechanica (thermal and structural) and Ansys Design SpaceI am familiar with several different forms of rapid prototyping:3D printing, stereolithography, resin printing, FDM printing, CNC routing, CNC plasma cutting, CNC milling and urethane casting. I am used to and enjoy hands-on environments.
