Experience you can count on.

After more than a decade in the industry, Rachel’s experience covers every stage of the additive journey. From R&D to scaling up for production in regulated industries, Rachel is a “do-er” who has always been willing to get hands on. Throughout her career, Rachel has operated, evaluated, repaired, and calibrated a variety of LPBF machines.

As part of her masters program in Mechanical Engineering, Rachel worked with a team to build a fully functional DLP resin 3D printer. After college, Rachel’s additive career started at GE Aviation where she focused on parameter development of new and existing alloys and on part development. In short, Rachel’s job was to get parts to build correctly, with the desired mechanical properties. During this time, she became a go-to resource for root cause analysis when builds failed and also owned the MRL development for several aviation parts and materials.

When GE purchased Concept Laser, Rachel was selected for an opportunity to relocate to Germany to industrialize the machines to meet the stringent requirements of Aviation. During this time, she redefined acceptance testing, owned a machine program, managed a machine redesign, and supported 3rd level service for machines in the field.

After 8 years of hands on experience with Aviation focused LPBF, Rachel transitioned to an automotive company and worked on a Metal Binder Jet program.

In 2022, Rachel joined a contract manufacturer as their Director of Additive, leading a team of technicians and engineers as the company ramped up their Additive capabilities.

To date, Rachel has been named on 7 patents around Additive Manufacturing.
