Summary
Leon Hu is a Senior Tooling Engineer based in Shenzhen with over two decades in the mold industry and nine years in dedicated design roles, having transitioned from a surface grind apprentice to senior mold designer and tooling engineer. He has designed more than 600 injection mold sets for European and U.S. clients across automotive, consumer electronics, office equipment, and medical devices, combining practical shop-floor machining experience with CAD mastery in Unigraphics and AutoCAD. Comfortable with the full mold lifecycle, he moves from DFM and 3D/2D layouts to BOMs, troubleshooting mold making and try-out issues to ensure manufacturability. His early hands-on work programming Sodick Wire-EDM machines gives him uncommon insight into machining constraints that many designers miss, improving downstream toolability. Leon’s background in technical computer software and persistent self-study of mold design underscore a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to tooling problems. He brings a blend of shop-floor credibility and CAD-driven design discipline that accelerates delivery and reduces iterative rework.
