Maximiliano Aragon Vazquez

As a Sales and Applications Engineer, I play a critical role in the successful implementation of 3D printing projects across automotive, industrial, medical, and manufacturing sectors. I provide technical consulting to help companies adopt additive manufacturing effectively, while also designing custom parts, components, and mechanical systems optimized for this technology. My work involves the use of CAD tools for FEA, DFM, and Additive Manufacturing Design, ensuring that each solution meets functional and manufacturability standards. I also manage the creation of Bills of Materials (BOMs), perform cost, time, and process analyses, and guide each project from concept to execution. This includes developing tailor-made components from scratch to fulfill specific client or system requirements, delivering solutions that align with performance, efficiency, and innovation goals.

I develop an essential role on my team by designing, researching, and developing mechanical systems and mechanisms aimed at solving challenges in innovative projects. My responsibilities range from proposing and analyzing solutions to creating detailed manufacturing drawings for implementation in various projects. I extensively use CAD software to model, simulate, and optimize mechanical components and assemblies, ensuring precision and functionality throughout the design process. Additionally, I leverage tools such as Matlab, Excel, and other computational software to run simulations and validate the performance of the designs.

I develop an essential role in optimizing production processes and ensuring quality and efficiency in the manufacturing line. Preventive and corrective maintenance of production equipment, performing regular inspections and repairs to minimize downtime and ensure continued operability. Participation in continuous improvement teams to identify opportunities for process optimization, cost reduction and product quality improvement.
