We earnestly work hard to make you, your company and your project successful.
Scott Sonksen
In 1986, Scott graduated from Des Moines Area Community College’s Tool and Die program and moved to the Minneapolis area to work in reputable die job shops. By 1996, Scott was one of the top paid designers in the area and held a position as Senior Tool Designer at a top die shop. A long-time user of Cadkey software, he also became proficient in surface modeling and CNC programming using MasterCam.
Scott moved on to a large production stamping facility in the Silicon Valley area in California in 1996 to become the Tool Design Supervisor/Tool Coordinator. He developed a comprehensive training program and enjoyed working on many high-profile projects, while personally designing the more complicated tools for the company. The experience he gained as a Tool Buyer added to his versatility in the trade.
In 1999, Scott moved back to the Midwest to work as a Lead Die Designer for a large tooling and automation company in Missouri. This company gave him experience on transfer tooling and draw tooling using Unigraphics software, along with some exposure to the automation side of the engineering company. By 2002, he had moved into a Sales Engineer role, specializing in Tool and Die accounts. This position has been invaluable to Scott’s career, giving him exposure to the industry across the nation and the skills to tap into them.
