COMPANY INFO

  • Year founded: 1962
  • President: Stephen Hansen

Logan Boschae | Toolmaker Apprentice

Age: 32
Years at CDM: 4
Education/Certification:  CDL; in Final Year of 5-Year Tool & Die Technologies Apprenticeship (MPTC)

What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
Currently I program and operate our Carbon Dept. CNC’s, which machine electrodes for our sinker EDM’s. I also assist with toolmaking, which includes assembling and disassembling molds, making and fitting components, cutting, grinding, and welding. When toolmaking was my primary focus, I also helped manage jobs as they went through the shop. My responsibilities have also included running the sampling press and seeing the mold our team built actually function. Since I have my CDL, I’ve also made deliveries during my time at CDM.

How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I like working with my hands and fixing mechanical issues. I tried a few career paths, but I hadn’t found that right fit. I started with CDM as a Tool Hand and within a year, I was a Toolmaker Apprentice. Apprentices must learn a variety of skillsets. This aligns perfectly with my natural desire to learn as much as possible. During my apprenticeship, I’ve worked as a Toolmaker, Sampling Press Operator, and CNC Machinist. Next, I want to learn electrode modeling and eventually mold design.

The best part of my job is:
I have my assigned work and overall deadlines, but it’s up to me to determine how to efficiently achieve the best results.
