- Tooling & Workholding: Select appropriate tooling, specialty cutters, and design custom workholding or jigs within FeatureCAM.
- Verification: Run full machine simulations within FeatureCAM to prevent crashes and ensure "right-first-time" production.
- Collaboration: Work directly with operators to fine-tune programs on the floor, adjusting offsets and feed rates for optimized performance.
- Other duties as assigned.
Requirements:
- Experience: 3+ years of professional experience specifically using FeatureCAM for CNC programming.
- Controller Expertise: Comprehensive understanding of Fanuc-based systems and control architecture.
- Blueprints: Mastery of blueprint reading and GD&T to ensure parts meet tight tolerances (e.g., +/- .0005″).
- Machining Knowledge: Strong grasp of speeds and feeds for a variety of materials (Aluminum, Stainless, Plastics, etc.).
