Dieter began his career as a traditional carpenter but became fascinated with CNC technology in the early 2000s. He pursued additional qualifications in CAD/CAM programming while working for a machinery manufacturer before joining Fischer Holzbau in 2011. His unique combination of hands-on carpentry knowledge and technical programming skills has been crucial for optimizing the company's digital manufacturing processes.
Experience: 29 years in carpentry, 18 years specializing in CNC technology (8/10)
Favorite Jobs
- Complex joinery programming
- Optimizing cutting paths
- Developing custom machining solutions
The beauty of modern carpentry is blending knowledge that's centuries old with technology that's cutting edge. I can program a machine to create joints that would have taken a master carpenter days to cut by hand, but I need that master carpenter's knowledge to program it correctly.
Physical Condition
Dieter is in reasonable condition but suffers from periodic headaches caused by eye strain from hours of computer work programming CNC operations. He wears specialized computer glasses but still struggles with the transition between screen work and physical machine operation.
Favorite Place
Dieter's favorite space is his programming office that directly overlooks the CNC manufacturing area through a large glass partition. He's arranged his desk to allow him to swivel between his computer screens and the window, watching his programmed instructions transform into precisely machined timber components. The walls display both traditional carpenter's drawings and complex 3D renderings, representing the bridge between old and new techniques that defines his career. The gentle hum of the machines provides a reassuring background to his focused work.
