  • Interested in 3D printing applied to mold building.
  • Westfall’s relationship with local school has helped to attract and retain next-generation workers.
  • His sales pitch to high schoolers for careers in moldmaking is, “If you are mechanically inclined and like to solve problems this is the field for you.”
