I am a Senior Mechanical Engineer with 15 years of experience specializing in the design and development of high-precision machines, hybrid manufacturing system integration, and metallurgical engineering. I focus on practical mechanical engineering solutions to enhance machine architecture, improve rigidity, optimize thermal behavior, and reduce vibration across different industrial equipment. I take pride in ensuring a smooth transition from concept to production with powerful tools like SolidWorks and ANSYS. Experienced in the design, validation, and optimization of CNC machining centers and hybrid DED platforms, with proven contributions to DMG MORI’s LASERTEC Hybrid Series and Hurco’s VMX/VCX systems. Demonstrated capability in modal and thermal-structural analysis, chatter-reduction research, and digital-twin calibration for predictive maintenance. Skilled at coordinating global R&D efforts across Japan, Germany, and the U.S., ensuring consistent engineering standards and manufacturability across multi-site development programs. Grounded in Metallurgical Engineering, combining expertise in casting design, heat treatment, and microstructure–performance correlation. Proficient in ProCAST simulation for mold filling, solidification, and residual-stress prediction, applying results to enhance material stability and machining accuracy. Experienced in optimizing alloy selection, thermal-cycle control, and defect prevention for cast and welded components used in precision-machinery assemblies. Thank you for taking the time to consider my profile. With my background in mechanical design, CNC machine optimization, and hybrid manufacturing, I’m excited about the chance to bring my expertise to you. I’m confident I can offer valuable insights and help drive the success of your projects. I’d love the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute and look forward to working together.

He has 6 years of experience in design engineering with a focus in materials and machine design and specializes in custom mechanical assemblies and automated systems. Specific capabilities include mechanical and electromechanical design, CAD, FEA and design validation, component and assembly manufacturing, procurement, assembly, and testing. Dietrich worked as a Systems Engineer, mechanical engineer, and sr. mechanical engineer. He has developed custom tooling for unique and specific projects. He has designed and manufactured a large scale metal 3D printer. Additionally he has designed equipment for automating processes to speed up manufacturing or reduce labor intensive applications. Dietrich is able to design with a wide variety of materials including alloy steels, aluminum, Inconel and other nickel-based alloys, carbides, and a wide variety of polymers. He has experience with mechanical systems such as linear actuators, miniature and large scale electric motors, combustion engines, pulleys, gears, solenoids, weldments, belts and other drivetrain components. His manufacturing capabilities include CNC milling, CNC turning (lathe), electro-discharge machining, welding, and 3D printing in both polymers and metals. Deliverables include consultation, design, CAD models, 2D manufacturing drawings, manufacturing of custom parts and assemblies, sourcing and selection of off-the-shelf parts, and component and assembly testing and validation.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky with a bachelor's of science in mechanical engineering. I graduated magna cum laude with a GPA of 3.74 out of 4. There are a few things that separate me from the average university graduate, however. My senior capstone design group won the Cummins Design award for top performance. This award is distributed by representatives of the same Cummins famous for diesel engines, and is given to one capstone group each semester. Secondly, while many of my peers obtained at most three semesters of co-op and internship experience, usually none, I obtained five semesters worth of industry experience. Thirdly and finally, in my own time I work on small engineering projects. To date I have researched, designed, and developed a small hovercraft, a remote control zeppelin, a small coil gun, a motorized bicycle, a microwave spot welder, and smelting of aluminum in a home-built furnace. Currently I am working on designing and building a motorcycle from scratch. I have formal training in Lean manufacturing, with some experience before the training in implementation of lean principles (without knowing I was implementing a Lean philosophy). Other areas where I have extra formal training are: AutoCAD and Inventor parametric design softwares, design for manufacturing, and micro/nano-electromechanical systems.
