Hello, I'm Jeff Steenson.

Steenson Graphics can meet your 3d dimensional part design, Investment Casting Mold Design, or Plastic Injection mold design needs. My experience can also help solve potential problems with part design well before reaching the manufacturing stage.

I first began operating under the name Steenson Graphics in 1994.
In that time, I've worked my way to being a qualified Mold Maker in the Investment Castings and Plastic Injection fields.
Always predominantly a designer, using MasterCam from very early days until some of the latest versions, I also have extensive experience with CNC Programming and Design work in MasterCam, Surfcam and Cimatron.
Along the way I discovered KeyCreator and now use it exclusively as my design software due to its direct modeling capabilities and versatility.
My experience also extends to familiarity with setup, programming, and running CNC Milling Machines, as well as benching and assembly; reverse engineering and repairing existing molds made by others.
I'm familiar with multiple methods of part and mold manufacture, and have considerable experience designing electrodes for Sinker EDM, and even programming and operating CNC EDM machines.

My decades of experience with molding also gives me the expertise to suggest solutions and modifications to parts that might reduce tooling costs, such as edge radius modification, areas in need of draft and/or venting for part removal, and identification of areas that would need soluble core or other expensive coring methods, and determine what might be needed to have simpler hard tooling solutions to save process and cycle time and result in superior parts.
I acted for several years as a Toolroom Supervisor and general foreman, so I'm familiar with all the steps in mold development, and know how best to design for maximum workflow and efficiency.
In addition to my Mold Maker credentials, I also have experience with product design, and have been an illustrator all my life, designing logos and doing album covers, flyers and even illustrating entire game manuals. I'm also a capable text editor, writer, and proofreader.

Drop me a line and let's talk about what I can do for you.
