David O'leary

David O’Leary is one of three brothers who own and manage Kenson Plastics. David is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. The transformation and growth of the company has been astronomical since the family acquired it in 2008 and David is proud to be apart of the strategic growth. One of David’s favorite roles is to engage with customers in order to solve their problems in unique ways they never before considered. He enjoys the open atmosphere within Kenson Plastics and the hands-on approach taken with both employees and customers. David graduated from Bucknell University where he met his wife of 20 years. He is a proud father of four and enjoys sharing outdoor adventures with them. Their family outings include camping, biking, canoeing and fishing. Personally, cars and motorcycles rev David up and he would love to learn how to rebuild motors in the future. All in all, David strives to make sure Kenson goes the extra mile to delight its customers in ways other manufacturers simply won’t.

Part Geometry: Forming to Assembly & Lead Time

Getting from the drawing board to the first article inspection (FAI) in the shortest turnaround time isn’t a smooth, one-time-through process. Optimizing the design for manufacturing requires multiple iterations between product teams, potential suppliers, and manufacturing partners. One of the critical factors to consider when designing products and developing production techniques is part geometry. This will determine the cycle times during manufacturing and affect other factors like cost, quality, and appearance.
