MMT Chats: 30 Under 30 Honoree, A Little Perfection and Patience Go a Long Way

This episode is brought to you by ISCAR with New Ideas for Machining Intelligently.

MoldMaking Technology’s 30 Under 30 Honors Program shows off the next-generation of talent making an impact across the mold manufacturing marketplace. Their stories are impressive and their energy is incredible! Working on this program has only increased my passion for this community!

Here are just a few tidbits from this 30 Under 30 honoree to whet your appetite for our full conversation:

  • Drawn to moldmaking for its job security
  • During his first few days at  F&M, he was disassembling and cleaning molds for repair jobs and then worked his way through CNC milling setups.
  • Trained alongside a skilled moldmaker in the wire EDM department, who then left the company.  Then learned how to single-handedly program and run multiple wire EDMs.
  • Introduced Esprit into the wire EDM department to reduce programming time.
  • Loves systems and procedures.
  • Looking to lead and pass on his knowledge to others.
