The role played in this was to receive all parts from the CNC / Laser, pre-fit and fabricate any custom parts to complete design & intent

  • After all parts are considered acceptable to move forward, parts then go to paint and assembly to which I would quality inspect for further production and then I would be solely responsible for quality control, assembly, & then wrapping, packing & shipping in crates
