Nidec expands Additive Manufacturing team with appointment of Tobias Dornia

Nidec Machine Tool America, located in Wixom, Michigan, USA, has announced the appointment of Tobias Dornai as Additive Manufacturing Application Engineer. In this role, Dornai will support the company’s growing Additive Manufacturing business and customer base.

Dornai brings valuable experience in Additive Manufacturing, with a track record of success in his prior position with Solideon in California. He will be responsible for a variety of tasks, including collaborating with customers to identify and develop Additive Manufacturing solutions for their specific needs; providing technical support and expertise on NIDEC Machine Tool America’s laser-based Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing machines; assisting with the creation of demonstrations and proof-of-concept projects; as well as optimising manufacturing processes and developing production recipes.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tobias to the NIDEC Machine Tool America team,” shared Dwight Smith, Vice President of Additive Manufacturing and Marketing at NIDEC Machine Tool America. “His knowledge and experience in Additive Manufacturing will be invaluable as we continue to expand our offerings and support our customers in achieving their manufacturing goals.”

Dornai added, “As I learn about the advanced technology implemented in the LAMDA DED systems, I am very impressed at how the monitoring/feedback system maintains a specific and controlled melt pool. The local shield system is also very important, as it allows large scale laser powder DED of reactive materials without an inert gas enclosure. I am excited to join the team at NIDEC Machine Tool America.”
