A self-motivated Mechanical and Product Design Engineer – with a history in Tool and Die making, component production, machine design, installation and commissioning – all of which have enabled me to develop a sound understanding of the manufacturing process and thus allowing me to design more cost-effective and practical solutions.As a reliable and professional designer who strives to maintain the highest standard of quality and consistency, I keep myself well informed of any new and innovative advances in both design and manufacturing technologies, recommending the implementation thereof, when appropriate.After taking time out of the workplace in January 2013 to undergo multiple back surgery to alleviate chronic lower back pain, I am now looking for a new opportunity to utilise my design engineering skills after arriving in the UK to take up permanent residency in September 2017. During my recovery period, I have kept up to date with the latest technology in 3D Design and additive manufacturing. I purchased an industrial 3D Printer and started my own business printing components and jigs & fixtures.Key Skills:· CAD/ Solidworks 2016, AutoCAD Inventor 2014.· Microsoft Office.· Material specification.· 3D Printing (Stratasys UPrint FDM).· Design for 3D Printing.· Design jigs and fixtures for 3D Printing.· Prototype development for 3D Printing.· CMM tooling design and 3D Printing.· Isometric/technical drawings.· Creation of a Bill of Materials (BOM).· Developing manufacture procedures.· Machine operation.· Quality Control.· Conceptualisation. · 3D component development.· Electrical wire harnesses.· Solar panels.· Factory automation.· Point of Sale & Vending products (mechanical & air).· Industrial catering, butchery & laboratory equipment.· Mechanical drive systems.· Sheet metal component design.
