With extensive experience as a Business Owner, Product Designer, and Chief Manufacturing Engineer, I bring a unique combination of creativity and technical expertise to tackle complex manufacturing challenges. As a SolidWorks Certified Professional, I specialize in designing and simulating products that meet rigorous quality standards while addressing real-world manufacturing demands. My proficiency in Operational Excellence (OPEX) and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) enables me to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and reduce waste.In 2019, I founded RPFab LLC, a design and manufacturing company that blends innovation with craftsmanship. Known for its signature product lines, including the "Blank Canvas Book Nooks"™, RPFab has successfully executed multiple Kickstarter campaigns and developed a loyal customer base. Our versatile prototyping workshop features 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC milling and lathe, 3D scanning, and assembly capabilities, making RPFab a trusted partner for inventors, start-ups, and companies seeking assistance with prototypes, product development, and production.Beyond business, I am passionate about restorations, artwork, mechanical design, electronics, and fabrication, and I thrive on bringing innovative ideas to life. Whether you're an entrepreneur with a vision or a company in need of manufacturing expertise, I would be delighted to collaborate.For project ideas or inquiries, please contact me at Rich@RPFab.com.
