Introducing Jonathan Varner
“Engineer right, cut once! Our experience and standards are a solid foundation, but they do not initiate innovation. We find the “sweet spot” with technology in combination with our experience to drive innovation and improvement within our productive teams. Towards this goal, we should seek out one innovative solution for stamping and BiW geometry creation based on physics driven simulation analysis.” Jonathan Varner, Product Manager, AutoForm.
