Dental Office Engineering Liaison
At John Ridella, DMD, PC, my role as a Mechanical Tech Advisor/Liaison from February 2021 to August 2021 involved equipment procurement and design tasks. My work centered on two primary areas: facilitating communication with Chinese suppliers for dental equipment procurement and designing a suction adaptor for High-Volume Evacuator (HVE) tips.
Equipment Procurement Coordination
Communications and Negotiations: I managed communications with Chinese suppliers, acting as the primary liaison. This role required negotiating terms, ensuring that equipment specifications met our needs, and confirming quality standards.
Streamlining Procurement: My focus was to streamline the process of acquiring dental equipment. This involved coordinating logistics, handling customs and import regulations, and ensuring timely delivery.
Design and Engineering of Suction Adaptor
Suction Adaptor Design: Using SolidWorks, I designed a suction adaptor for High-Volume Evacuator (HVE) tips. The challenge was to convert these tips from European to American standards.
Enhancing Equipment Compatibility: The design aimed to improve the functionality of the HVE tips in our American setup. It involved precise measurements and a deep understanding of both European and American dental equipment standards.
