Arash Azhang

I am a Senior Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineer with more than 12 years of experience delivering simulation-driven design, advanced manufacturing solutions, and process optimisation across aerospace, energy, biomedical, and industrial sectors.

I specialise in Additive Manufacturing (WAAM, GMAW-based deposition), Mechanical Design (SolidWorks, CATIA), and Thermo-Mechanical FEA (Abaqus, ANSYS), with a track record of leading projects from concept to qualification in environments aligned with AS9100, ISO 13485, and advanced DfM/DfA standards.

My work includes:
• Thermo-mechanical modelling of WAAM multi-material deposition
• FEA-driven design optimisation and structural validation
• Manufacturing quality, defect analysis, and data-driven process control
• DfM-compliant CAD, precision documentation, and supplier integration
• Industrial research collaborations with Airbus, Siemens Energy, WAAM3D, INTECO, and other engineering partners

I hold an MSc in Metal Additive Manufacturing from Cranfield University and have authored technical research and a patented engineering design. I work comfortably at the intersection of design, simulation, and production, supporting companies in turning complex engineering challenges into manufacturable, reliable, and cost-efficient solutions.

I am available for:
• Mechanical design & engineering services
• Additive manufacturing consulting
• FEA & simulation studies
• Process optimisation & quality engineering
• Technical documentation and certification support

If your organisation needs a results-driven engineer with strong analytical capability and experience across R&D, manufacturing, and industry collaboration, I would be happy to discuss how I can support your project.

Senior Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineer with 12+ years of experience across aerospace, energy, biomedical, and industrial sectors. I deliver simulation-driven design, additive manufacturing (WAAM), thermo-mechanical FEA, and DfM/DfA solutions that improve manufacturability, reduce cost, and strengthen product reliability.

My background includes thermo-mechanical modelling of multi-material WAAM deposition at Cranfield University, aerospace component qualification with WAAM3D and Airbus, and design/optimisation of industrial systems for Siemens Energy, INTECO, and Aichi Sangyo. I have also led ISO 13485-compliant implant development, reverse-engineering programmes, and safety-critical mechanical redesigns for heavy-industry applications.

I specialise in CAD/FEA (SolidWorks, CATIA, Abaqus, ANSYS), additive manufacturing process development, tolerance control, defect analysis, quality engineering (PFMEA, SPC, Lean Six Sigma), and data-driven process optimisation. My work consistently bridges R&D, design, and manufacturing, delivering practical engineering outcomes supported by rigorous analysis.

MSc in Metal Additive Manufacturing from Cranfield University, focused on thermo-mechanical modelling, WAAM process development, and aerospace component qualification.
MSc in Biomechanics, specialising in mechanical behaviour of implants, optimisation, and ISO 13485–aligned medical device design.
BSc in Mechanical Engineering, providing a strong foundation in design, materials, manufacturing processes, and simulation.
