Manufacturing engineering consultant specialising in Mechanical 3D Design and CADCAM Programming offering a wide range of services because I love a challenge,
I am a fully qualified time served Mechanical Design/CADCAM Engineer with over 20 years’ experience, both on the shop floor and in a management role as a machine shop supervisor. My professional career focused primarily on Mechanical 3D Design, CNC machining and mechanical maintenance within the Automotive, Aerospace, Nuclear, Oil, Gas and Marine industries sector.
I am mechanically minded with a keen eye for detail, and a vast knowledge in mechanical problem solving solutions. I always work to the best of my ability with a can do and open minded attitude
From August 2010 I focused my career on my strongest strengths and passions 3D CAD design, I started working with various CAD software packages including but not limited to, Solidworks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor and Mastercam for CNC Programming.
My expertise is in Solidworks design, specifically creating 2D engineering drawings, 2D/3D assembly drawings, 3D part modelling ,3D part assembly, surfacing, sheet metal, weldments, animation and rendering.
I am proficient in component and assembly simulation testing, primarily FEA, CFD, MBD, flow analysis, vibration analysis, structural simulation, interference and collision analysis, structural part and assembly analysis, and environmental impact analysis. These simulations are run to optimize the design and material and reduce the cost by up to 30%, depending on the customers requirements. These simulation tests enable me to produce fully detailed reports verifying the CAD data and giving an 88% chance of producing a faultless design the first time, thus reducing the need for costly prototypes.
Due to my extensive experience as a CNC Machinist/ Programmer in milling and turning, I can produce complex multi-axis CNC Programmes using Mastercam and OneCNC software, also programming by hand for a range of different CNC Formats, the foremost being Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain and XYZ Prototrek. I have a vast knowledge of GD&T both from my machining and designing
