Professional experience
July 2006 - Present The Ex One Company Irwin, PA Laser Tech/Ultrasonic Engineering
Operation, development, and construction from print of a new laser drilling system called Orion, which uses two lasers to drill various size holes with controlled tapers into many different materials, from metals to ceramics. Operation and maintenance of Sonex ultrasonic machining system, which uses ultrasonic vibrations to machine materials. Maintenance includes electronic and mechanical troubleshooting from prints. Used prints alone to tear down and deep clean all mechanical parts of the machining head and then rebuild. Research and development of machining procedures to machine various advanced brittle materials, such as CMC, ceramics, glass, Pyrex, etc. Also includes rebuild of RAM and Wire EDM machines from partial prints.
