Many thanks for finding it
I work for a company making prototype models and engineering check parts. Mostly for the high tech industry. From computer housings to small medical devices.
I also rarely have time to make anything for myself and when i do have time, I normally then can't think of anything to make. The last thing I machined for myself was some rear speaker grills, with Porsche lettering engraved. Unfortunately I lost the file when our computers were stolen. I had some people ask for them, but I just don't have the enthusiasm to draw up the 3d model again.
I program with surfcam and we have about 12 haas mills now. We also have sla and sls machines and a mold and casting deptartment. We started out as a model making company using bridgports etc and slowly built up from there. I started my training after leaving school as an injection mold maker and then decided enough tool steel! I find it exciting now to be making small run parts that have a couple of day turn around, so there's always something new to machine. At the moment I'm machining some small magnesium computer housings for a military application.
Anyway, many thanks for finding the badge file.
