JOEL FRAX
My name is Joel Frax and I’m an Industrial Engineer specialized in Mechanics. I’m currently working in the American multinational Kennametal, designing special cutting tools for machining. So I have acquired knowledge of both design and manufacturing processes. Moreover, I have been also working for three years as a physics teacher at engineering university of Barcelona (EUETIB). This has given me experience sharing knowledge with anyone ready to learn.
In that section I want you to know me better, so I will add a part of my curriculum except of my personal information. If you need to contact me for any reason you can contact me here.
