Grant has run every machine Thunder Laser USA sells since 2020 — Nova, Nova Plus, Bolt, Bolt Plus, Aurora and Titan — cutting and engraving wood, acrylic, leather, coated metals and stone. Most of his week is demos, customer sample jobs, and helping the team work through whatever a customer is stuck on. He started before the industry had much training material and learned the machines by running them, which is why he has spent the years since building the knowledge base, tutorial library and video content Thunder Laser customers learn from now. He is currently working through UV printing, fiber metal cutting and metal 3D printing to build the same material for those.
