Arash Azhang

With over 12 years of experience spanning mechanical engineering, metal additive manufacturing (WAAM), finite element analysis and biomedical device design, I combine R&D expertise with practical manufacturing to deliver innovative solutions. As co‑founder of Azhangostar I provided reverse‑engineering and CAD/CAE services for industrial and medical clients, achieving 99% accuracy in 3D models while implementing ISO 13485‑compliant production lines and quality management systems. I developed a patented pipe‑rotation mechanism that increased welding efficiency by 30% and earned a national bronze medal for SolidWorks design.

My work extends to academia and industry through peer‑reviewed publications on bone screw head design and dynamic hip plate strength.

At Cranfield

University, I am completing an MSc in Metal Additive Manufacturing. My thesis utilizes WAAM and finite-element modelling to predict residual stress and optimize Invar–copper bi-material deposition, contributing to the EU MULTI-FUN programme. I previously completed an MSc in Orthopaedic Biomechanics and have designed and analysed orthopaedic implants. In addition, I developed some irrigational system designs and high‑performance fluid components across multiple industries.

My technical skills include: WAAM process development and optimisation; finite element analysis with ABAQUS and ANSYS; CAD/CAE and reverse engineering using SolidWorks, CATIA and AutoCAD; mechanical design, test and certification; process optimisation and digital manufacturing; and ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 compliance. I am an analytical problem‑solver and collaborative leader who enjoys guiding multidisciplinary teams, mentoring engineers and translating research into real‑world products.

I am open to full‑time opportunities in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, biomedical engineering, stress analysis, or technical documentation. If you’re looking for someone to bridge cutting‑edge research with production‑ready design and process efficiency, let’s connect and discuss how I can help your organisation succeed.

Mechanical Design and Additive Manufacturing Engineer with over 12 years of experience delivering high-precision engineering solutions across the aerospace, automotive, energy, and medical sectors.

Combining

SolidWorks, CATIA, and Abaqus/ANSYS proficiency with Lean Six Sigma expertise, I specialise in translating complex mechanical concepts into manufacturable, compliant, and high-performance designs.

At WAAM3D (Cranfield, UK), I supported Airbus landing-gear development, achieving a 15 % defect reduction through tolerance optimisation and FEA-driven process improvements. My Cranfield MSc research on Invar–Copper WAAM joints advanced defect prediction and thermal-stress modelling for high-integrity manufacturing applications. Earlier, at VIAN Steel, I led design and risk-reduction initiatives that cut manufacturing failures by 40 %, while at Pooyan Teb Hegmataneh, I delivered ISO 13485-compliant orthopaedic implants adopted in surgical practice.

A Six Sigma Black Belt and patent holder, I bridge R&D and production with data-driven design, process simulation, and cross-functional collaboration.

My career reflects consistent delivery of safer, more efficient, and regulator-approved mechanical systems — outcomes I aim to extend within the UK’s engineering design and advanced manufacturing industries.
