Mechanical Engineer & Problem Solver
Laurance Robbins
the vision
From the Beginning
As a contractor of many years, I’ve worked on a variety of projects ranging from rack & panel, electrical & electronic packaging, sheet metal structures, component chassis, brackets, supports, instrument panels, wiring & cabling, and printed circuit board design. These experiences necessitated the designing of tools and fixtures, mechanisms, machinery design, stampings, forgings, sand casting, investment casting, die casting, injection molding, compression molding, and stereolithography. This varied background is my greatest asset.
30+ years of experience
Overview and Experience
I am very creative in providing solutions for the requirements of any project thrown my way. I always bring new ideas and creativity to any task. If I have a fault, I’d say it’s trying to make things better.
Making things better.
Most of the organizations I’ve worked for have been small. This means that I’ve had to wear many hats, ranging from conceptual designs and cost/benefit analysis to component & material selection and model making. Along with this came the documentation of detailed assembly drawings, bill of materials, checking, GD&T, and tolerance studies.
Throughout my career, I have learned various CAD software packages including AutoCad, CadKey, Cadam, Personal Designer, Pro-Engineer, and Solidworks. The primary CAD package that I’m most proficient with is Pro-E Creo and Windchill. I am also proficient with Windows Office Suite.
