SUMMARY
Extensive background building prototypes and machining short runs, using both CNC and conventional milling machines, wire EDM, lathe, drill press ect. Strong background in CNC programming using Cam packages, (MASTERCAM and GIBBS), which included working in a paperless environment and transferring files through a computer network. Manual Data Input (G Codes) was also used in programming.
