The Team
Robert Pedros
Bob's passion for product development has been the motivation and vision for Veloce Engineering. His 20+ year career has taken him from fabricating product as a machinist/CNC programmer to conceptualizing and creating unique solutions for mechanical designs. Bob's medical device experience with US Surgical/Covidien R&D provided him the opportunity to design and develop stapling, ligating, hernia repair and access instruments. His perspective as an engineer and exposure to rapid prototyping has provided the insight to understand what clients expect from a service provider. Bob holds a BS in mechanical engineering from Fairfield University. His second passion is cooking pizza in his wood-fired brick oven, which he designed and built, and spending time with his wife, son and daughter.
Pete Dennean
Pete has been with Veloce Engineering since 2012 as the Rapid Prototyping Manager. Pete attended Southern Connecticut State University and focused on computer programming and accounting. Pete has been on the forefront of the Rapid Prototyping industry for 19 years and knows what it takes to build the highest quality parts. With a background in urethane casting, SLA model building and high quality finishing Pete is able to ensure Veloce delivers high quality parts quickly every time. When he finally sneaks away from work he enjoys hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, wood burning art and spending time with his family.
Russell Durand
Our Estimating and Project Management Department is the heartbeat of Veloce Engineering, and Russell is the man behind the wheel. When he is not enjoying his ride to work behind his Hot Wheels edition Chevy Camaro he is steering the quotes into orders and ensuring they are executed on time to meet the fast turnaround times our clients are promised.
