In this role, Mr. Dornai will play a key role in supporting Nidec Machine Tool America’s growing additive manufacturing business and customer base.

Mr. Dornai brings valuable experience in additive manufacturing, with a proven 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 powder DED additive manufacturing equipment.

•    Assisting with the creation of demonstrations and proof-of-concept projects.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tobias to the Nidec Machine Tool America team,” said 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.”

Mr, Dornai said, “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.  He added, “I am excited to join the team at Nidec Machine Tool America.”
