Workflows for development teams and machine shops
I support product development teams and production machine shops with CAD modeling, CNC toolpath generation, and reverse engineering from physical parts. Each engagement starts from the drawing, model, or part in hand and turns it into files a shop can run.
The work covers 3D product and mold design in SolidWorks, VMC G-code programming, and dimensional rebuilds of legacy components when no usable model exists.
VMC programming
CAM toolpaths and post-processing for VMC work
I program vertical machining centers from SolidWorks models and drawings, with cycle time, surface finish, and tool life set as the working targets for each part.
Toolpath strategy
Roughing, finishing, and contouring strategies chosen for stock removal, tool engagement, and the required surface quality.
Post-processor setup
Post-processor configuration matched to the target VMC controller, so generated G-code runs as planned on the machine.
Cycle and tool life
Feeds, speeds, and entry paths tuned to reduce cycle time while protecting tool longevity and part finish.
Have a drawing or a physical part to machine?
Send the model, drawing, or part details and I will reply with availability.
