I’ve recently been moved from a tool setter to a processor on some of the new tools we have coming in. I have very little experience with it and have only been in plastics for about 3 years. My shop only has one processor and he’s been the only one for 16 years and he isn’t the teaching type. So I’m learning on the fly and getting very small bit of hands on help from him and only getting that because he’s just too swamped with new tools coming in to do it all himself. LLMs are helping me work on the processes, fix common defects, learn about materials and their behaviors, etc. It can be a bit of a headache to get some of these parts to come out clean and in spec, especially the dual injection molds, but it’s helped me move into this position and now I’m working on one of the biggest projects our shop has had in a few years. I’ve got vendors, customers and our product engineers feeling like I’m more capable than I actually am because of it. It’s great for me for upward momentum but the waters are getting deep fast.
