Although my initial role was titled ‘Lead Additive Manufacturing Engineer’, I ended up as acting technology expert since the CTO left shortly after my appointment. In this capacity, I am responsible for parameter development, reviewing and programming heat treatments, advising on technical matters, acting as a technical contact for customers (mostly.

Derbyshire, England, United Kingdom

I had two roles at Metron AE. In my primary role as AM Manager, it was my responsibility to ensure part production wass done on schedule and adhering to the quality control management system that is AS9100 certified.

Sheffield, United Kingdom

My role at TWI was extremely varied in nature: one moment I'd be on the shop floor, preparing the next build to go on a PBF-LB machine; the next writing a proposal for the next round of funding in a research call; and everything in between! My particular specialities at TWI involved development for PBF-LB of lattice and thin wall part manufacture, which.

Bristol, United Kingdom

I worked at GKN Aerospace as an Additive Manufacturing Specialist, focusing on EBM whilst simultaneously offering support to the laser powder bed specialist. I have organised design of experiment routines for optimising thin wall structures and have been involved in optimising build layouts and support strategies, as well as implementing novel solutions.

Stone, UK

I was employed by Renishaw as a process development engineer, working to develop both material parameters and control of incoming material for use in the Renishaw range of additive manufacturing machines. Originally I was hired as a mechanical design engineer (working on what is now known as the RenAM 500M) before being reallocated to the material.

Coventry, UK

I was employed as a research engineer at the Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry as part of the team responsible for producing the additively manufactured Rolls-Royce Trent XWB bearing (currently the largest civil aero engine component manufactured by such a technique). My main purpose was twofold: one, to oversee the running of an Arcam electron.

Plymouth, United Kingdom

For the final six months of my PhD I also worked full time as a mechanical design engineer at Oakmount Control systems, a company that specialises in PLCs and also produces equipment for factory production lines (anything from safety guards to actual in-line processing equipment).

Exeter, United Kingdom

I worked part time at Tradewind Turbines (now 'Sail Powered Energy') as a mechanical/CAD engineer. This involved working with other engineers to design and manufacture a new generation of portable wind turbine, which has had great interest shown in by the MOD.
