Martin grew up and lives in Frankfurt right in the middle of Germany. He loves the city of Frankfurt because it´s a truly multicultural one with people from all over the world. The international airport is close by so he can travel to visit customers all over Europe fast.

For the last 25 years, he dedicated his professional career to Rapid-Prototyping and limited production. Back in 1994, he installed and operated one of the first SLA machines in Europe. Ever since, he produced hundreds of different parts, coordinated a large number of programs and worked as a sales/business development manager for Europe.  Martin is always eager to find the best solutions to support the customers and passionately fulfil project requirements. This makes him a valuable partner for the clients and all team members.

Ken Adams, from the town of Clydebank, Scotland, joined Star Rapid in 2013 as tool making and plastic injection molding consultant. Ken has abundant experience in tool designing, tool making and plastic injection molding. He gained his Higher National Certificate after finishing the five-year apprenticeship program when he was twenty-one. An HNC combined with a hands-on apprenticeship was often considered a more useful qualification than an engineering degree.

Ken has worked for many companies in different countries, holding senior management positions leading design and manufacturing teams. New product introduction was his main focus and plastic molding, metal pressing and metal casting were the main processes used. Now he is a consultant at Star Rapid as a mentor and advisor to our molding and project management teams.
