Having spent 15 years working above the factory where my designs were being produced, I’m well schooled in the complexities of product manufacturing, and know how valuable it is to understand this when designing new products.
- Excellent CAD skills in SolidWorks & NX (Unigraphics); solid & surface modelling, parametric design, dynamic assemblies, configurations to generate families.
- Thorough engineering drawings; specifying dimensional & geometric tolerances, analysing tolerance stacks.
- Design for manufacture & design for assembly, for a multitude of processes; plastic moulding, casting & forging, stamping & pressing, milling & turning, grinding & honing, + many more.
- Material selection & surface finish specification to achieve desired functional requirements.
- Electrical design of simple AC-DC circuits & PCBAs; motor selection & customisation.
- CMM & Metrology skills for reverse engineering, inspection & quality investigations.
- Design of jigs & fixtures & tools, for various machining & assembly processes.
- Providing on-site support at manufacturers across the globe to sign-off samples & tooling & processes.
