Machining aluminium plastic injection mould tools, for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics and railways.

Working on Hurco 3 and 5 Axis machining centres, NC Graphics CAM software for offline programming.

Working mainly on 4 metre Correa UAD 3+2 axis and 5 axis machines, with Heidenhain Controls. Autodesk Powermill and Powermill Modelling for offline programming.

Wide range of work, including stainless steel tools for hot forming titanium, cast iron tools for hot forming aluminium, CMM inspection fixtures.

Worked on a wide range of tooling. Mainly invar form tools for carbon fibre for the automotive and aerospace industries.

Most machines were Heidenhain controlled, except for the Siemens 5 axis machines.

Visi Machining Strategist for offline programming.

Subcontract machine shop. Worked on Doosan Minx with Fanuc controls. Wide range of work and materials.

Often programming straight from drawings, but also later learned how to create CAD models from drawings on OneCNC software, for offline programming.

Due to the complexity of the parts, this actually sped up production, and gave less chances for error.

Subcontract machine shop. Worked on Takisawa MAC V4 with 4th axis and Fanuc 6M control.

All programs written at pendant, from drawings. Wide variety of work and materials, including hiduron and aluminium bronze. Small batch work.
