Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolQuentin Harley is an experienced medical imaging support engineer with 13 years in clinical engineering and over a decade at Siemens Healthineers, currently resolving complex X‑ray system issues across the EMEA region. He combines field service expertise—installation, QA, and hands‑on repairs—with remote troubleshooting and in‑person crisis support for women's health imaging products. As founder and technical lead of Morgan 3D Printers, he drove open‑source robotic printer R&D and commercialisation, and his embedded work added SCARA kinematics and calibration routines to the widely used Smoothieware CNC firmware. Quentin’s background as a SANAS assessor and author of radiation QA protocols underscores a rare mix of regulatory, clinical, and firmware engineering experience. Based in Erlangen, he brings practical invention and systems-level thinking to both product support and hardware/software integration.

Contributions summary:Quentin primarily contributed to the addition of a SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm) solution to the smoothieware repository. Their work included creating new source files for a Morgan SCARA arm solution, implementing inverse kinematics, and integrating the solution into the robot control system. They also added G-code routines for SCARA calibration, allowing for trim adjustments and steps-per-degree calibration of the motors. These changes indicate a focus on expanding the robot control capabilities of the firmware.
