Starrag Appoints Applications Engineer

Starrag has appointed Matthew West as Applications Engineer.

West is a focused mechanical engineer who pursued a career in the aerospace manufacturing industry after completing his undergrad at the University of Dayton. He entered the industry through a technical training program to leverage manufacturing technologies for the production of rotating jet engine components. Later he served as a manufacturing engineer responsible for lathe CNC lights out program development for multi-axis machining centers to produce blisks and spools for new jet engine platforms.

While completing his masters in mechanical engineering, West transitioned to become an additive manufacturing engineer, leveraging additive and subtractive technologies to produce metal components made from exotic materials to sustain legacy military aircraft.

West has extensive experience designing efficient and effective manufacturing processes by leveraging 5-axis machining centers, machine probing, macro programming and CAD/CAM technology to produce jet engine and airframe components for the commercial and military aviation sectors.

"My goal is to understand the needs of our customers and help them utilize Starrag's cutting edge technology to achieve peak performance and efficiency," said West.
