👋 Hey AM community, do you know the people behind GKN Additive and Forecast 3D MFG? Around the world, we are a team of true AM enthusiasts! This is the latest part of our #WhoWeAreWednesday series: Have you met Florian Sommer? He is the shift supervisor and machine operator at our Metal Binder Jetting shopfloor in Bad Langensalza, Germany. Florian coordinates the scheduling of all print jobs in collaboration with the local project engineers and has a deep inner drive for creative problem-solving. He enjoys exploring uncharted territory and being the first to solve an issue. Florian is a state-certified technician of mechanical engineering and quality management. He has been with GKN since 2004, and prior to joining our team in 2020, he gathered extensive expertise in plastic- and metal injection molding and quality management. 🏹 Outside of work, Florian is a passionate collector of whiskey, classic pocket knives, cigars, and pipes. Right now he is finishing his hunting license. Fun fact: Florian has a soft spot for the American way of life. He has always been fascinated by the country, its people, culture, and food. He even considers moving to the US at some point in the future.
