Software Developer • CAD Designer • Manufacturing Optimization • 3D Printing & Scanning
📍 Randers, Denmark • 20+ Years Experience
I'm Nikolai Høj Vohnsen, based in Randers, Denmark. With 20 years of experience in modern machining strategies, my background spans software development, CAD design, manufacturing optimization, and 3D technologies — printing & scanning. I explore how digital design and manufacturing intersect.
I've founded and led companies including millpoint (active since 2018) and Høj Maskinteknik ApS (metal machining). I specialize in optimizing workflows on manufacturing, primarily machining, creating high-quality digital workflows, transforming 3D CAD models into physical objects, and capturing real-world geometry through scanning.
