Machinist

• The Machinist communicates with the designer to determine the best way to manufacture the desired plastic part. The Machinist is also responsible for determining the set-up, adjusting and maintaining equipment, producing the parts, creating the programming instruction for the parts being manufactured and inspecting the finished products to ensure they meet all specifications.
