About Jacques

Interim manager expert in product design for additive manufacturing

Innovative SME or large industrial group, are you looking for an interim manager capable of accelerating your additive manufacturing projects and maximizing the return on investment of your 3D printing equipment?

With over 30 years of experience in product design and additive manufacturing, I support companies in the integration, optimization, and deployment of 3D printing solutions, regardless of the processes, materials, or software used.

My role is to quickly strengthen your teams' skills, structure your projects, and secure your investments to ensure the achievement of your technical, economic, and industrial objectives.

In practice, I am involved in all stages of your projects:

- Definition of technical and economic specifications;
- Identification and qualification of high-value-added use cases;
- Design of parts optimized for additive manufacturing (DfAM);
- 3D scanning and reverse engineering;
- Manufacturing preparation;
- Production management;
- Qualification and validation of produced parts.

I ensure compliance with deadlines, costs, and quality requirements while securing the technical and industrial choices associated with your projects.

Do you want to structure, accelerate, or secure your additive manufacturing projects? Contact me to discuss your needs and identify together the most suitable solutions for your industrial context
