I'm Luis J. Avendaños, a Mechanical Tool Designer with over 9 years of experience turning engineering concepts into manufacturable tooling and fixtures for automotive stamping and industrial equipment. I design leak-test stations, assembly lines, EOAT, and pick-and-place systems, always aiming to improve cycle times and meet production targets. I work with SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Geomagic Design X, EPDM and related CAD tools to deliver robust, scalable solutions. Earlier roles include responsibilities around tooling development for automotive stamping, reverse engineering of precision parts, and building libraries of design components to speed up production. I enjoy cross-functional collaboration and applying lean principles to optimize processes across glass, plastic, furniture, steel, and mold industries.
