As an Engineering Designer with a specific focus on CAD/CAM, I believe I would be an excellent fit for your project. With over 15 years of experience, I have developed a strong understanding of construction and building systems. This includes a comprehensive knowledge of Autodesk PowerMill - the exact software you require for your CNC programming needs. I've successfully worked on a range of projects and understand the importance of precision, safety, and reliability in manufacturing processes. In combination with my understanding of CNC woodworking, including furniture parts and organic shapes, I'm confident I can confidently generate safe G-code and avoid any machine collisions. Additionally, my skills extend beyond pure programming. I can review and modify post processors to tailor them to specific machines and controllers as needed. My hourly or project rate is flexible to meet the requirements of the job. Plus my availability for remote work allows me to easily collaborate with your team from anywhere. Choosing me for this role would mean not just getting an excellent programmer but also leveraging my photography and videography skills. These can be incredibly beneficial during the prove-out or production process, allowing for precise documentation of all aspects of the project. Let's collaborate to ensure a safe, accurate, repeatable process for your furniture leg production!

Hello, Your project aligns well with my background in CNC manufacturing, mechanical design, and CAM programming. I have experience working with CNC machining workflows, production-oriented programming, and manufacturing preparation for complex mechanical parts. I am comfortable working with Autodesk PowerMill for toolpath generation, machining simulation, collision verification, and production-ready G-code preparation. For your furniture leg production project, I can assist with: Creating and refining 5-axis machining strategies Generating reliable and safe G-code adapted to the machine/controller Verifying machine movements and collision safety before production Optimizing roughing and finishing operations Supporting tooling, fixturing, feeds, speeds, and machining workflow Assisting with post-processor validation and machining verification I understand the importance of safe and repeatable 5-axis programming, especially for complex organic wood geometries and production environments. My experience in mechanical manufacturing and CNC processes allows me to focus not only on toolpath generation, but also on real production reliability and machining safety. I am available for remote collaboration and open to discussing long-term cooperation if the workflow is a good fit. Looking forward to learning more about your machine setup and project requirements.
