Bandsaw/Plate Resurfacing Technician
Incodema3D
Bandsaw and Plate Resurfacing Technician (Wednesday–Saturday 2:00pm - 12:30am)
Ready to build the future? Incodema3D is seeking a passionate, hands-on Bandsaw and Plate Resurfacing Technician to join our innovative machining team. If you thrive in a collaborative, high-tech environment and are excited to work with cutting-edge metal 3D printing technologies for aerospace and defense, we want to hear from you.
The Role
Join a dedicated post-additive manufacturing operations team responsible for safely separating 3D-printed metal parts from build plates and preparing those plates for subsequent production cycles. This role requires precision and care to prevent damage to high-value printed assets.
This full-time role operates on a four-day work week (Wednesday–Saturday, 2:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.).
What You’ll Do
- Set up, calibrate, and operate specialized industrial horizontal or vertical bandsaws. Secure complex, heavy build plates to saw fixtures using linear guides and clamping devices to ensure reproducible cuts.
- Monitor blade wear and adjust speeds/feeds for varying aerospace-grade metals (e.g., Inconel, Titanium, Stainless Steel, Aluminum). Properly account for saw kerf to leave exact base material for final machining.
- Operate CNC mills, rotary surface grinders, or lapping machines to resurface used build plates. Utilize micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators to ensure strict flatness tolerances and correct surface roughness for initial layer print adhesion.
- Remove residual support structures, dross, and spatter from plates post-sawing. Inspect cut parts and resurfaced plates for cracks, warping, or structural damage. Maintain accurate logs of build plate cycles, material types, saw usage, and maintenance records.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free workspace while handling materials safely.
What You Bring
- High school diploma or equivalent certification.
- A minimum of 2 years of experience as a CNC operator or production bandsaw operator (or an equivalent combination of education and hands-on manufacturing experience).
- Ability to operate CNC machinery, tooling, and precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, digital indicators).
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical documents and blueprints.
- Practical math skills for calculating cutting feeds, speeds, and tolerances.
- A strong work ethic, keen eye for detail, results-driven approach, and robust interpersonal and communication skills.
