Meet the People Behind the Platform
Built on Manufacturing Expertise
Ron Barranco is the owner and president of MicroEstimating, bringing decades of hands-on experience as a machinist, manufacturing technologist, and early pioneer in additive manufacturing. Long before 3D printing became mainstream, Ron was working at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and software, helping push the industry forward through both innovation and real-world application. His career spans traditional CNC machining, process engineering, and early adoption of additive manufacturing technologies, giving him a rare, practical understanding of how parts are actually made.
“Manufacturing must be modeled accurately, not approximated, if shops want quotes they can trust and margins they can defend.”
