Capture 3D Programmer

This position is responsible for using the structured light systems (and other systems as applicable) to scan cores, core dies, setters, setter tools, and related products. Individual(s) in this position will use computer software to create graphical comparisons, trend analysis, 2D and 3D geometric dimensioning, and automated reporting. This position is one of an advanced skill set in which the individual has demonstrated abilities to take on complex projects from beginning to end.

• Proficiency with macro/scripting to aid in scanning and analysis
• Provide scans and data to in-house and casting engineering groups to support the resolution of technical issues
• Demonstrated ability to utilize Solid Works, GOM, or Zeis effectively for C3D duties.
• Develop new methods for supporting inspection processes using C3D, ATOS, Geomagic, and/or Python (e.g. develop accurate and repeatable method for inspecting turbulators, crossovers, exits)
• Perform baseline studies on tooling (e.g. core dies, setter tools, anodes)
• Proficiency in ATOS and Geomagic software
• Perform gauge correlation studies
• Perform end-of-run inspection
• Support setter inspection program
• Perform PM 301 inspections
• Continued development of robotic skills for automation programs
• Improve throughput in Capture 3D process
• Validate new software releases/new software testing
• Spearhead new projects (e.g. Setter Control, Green Core Dimensional)
