Component Design & Manufacture We can take your concept ideas through the full development process to final production. Using state of the art modelling we can quickly evaluate new concepts and become a fully integrated partner in your development project. Project Engineering Our involvement is entirely centered around the clients requirements. We are able to handle the product from start to finish Reverse Engineering Reverse engineering is taking apart an object to see how it works in order to duplicate or enhance the object. One type of reverse engineering involves producing 3-D images of manufactured parts when a blueprint is not available in order to re-manufacture the part. Re-Engineering Re-engineering of the existing engineered components and systems. Modifications of the existing design are done in order to enhance the look & feel, improve material usage and productivity.

I have worked in boat yards and boat design offices for many years, and have acquired extensive experience in luxury GRP/CFRP catamarans and sheet metal aluminium work boats. I am highly skilled in 3D CAD (Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Fusion 360) and am proficient in working from and producing 2D AutoCAD drawings. I also have experience in rendering and simple animations of both the finished boat or custom stand-alone components and systems. My previous structural projects have included a full 3D model, drawing pack and nested cut files for a 15m ocean research catamaran. As well as numerous custom components where an off-the-shelf option was not suitable. While I am not a naval architect, I have partnered with a company that can provide all the necessary structural calculations. Plug and mould design for GRP boats is another area I particularly enjoy, and have extensive experience in. In addition to design, I am highly skilled at the communication and collaboration of all aspects of the design process. This has been aided by cloud-based CAD software such as Fusion 360, which facilitates the sharing of information and keeping track of design changes in real time. In addition to standard boat design work I particularly enjoy smaller custom R&D projects that require more creative solutions within a given set of parameters. My approach to design is one of simplification, and always working within the limitations of the project with regard to materials and fabrication techniques. The ideal design is usually the simplest solution that can satisfy all criteria.

Hello, my name is Lucas and I am a young professional working at the University of Cape Town for the mechanical engineering department. My current position is mainly based on research projects regarding new production technologies. The main focus hereby is on theoretical analyses by using Ansys as a simulation tool. Since I am new and therefore couldn´t prove myself yet, I attached some of the projects I was doing the last years. Furthermore, I gained a lot of experiences in multicultural work environments during my studies in Germany, Denmark, and South Korea. During my 1,5 years at Robert Bosch GmbH in Stuttgart, I was working for the design and development department. Our branch was focused on new technologies for the food industry and packagings for the pharma industry. Summarised my main skills are: 1.) Ansys simulations 2.) Solidworks design 3.) Product development 4.) CAD/CAM 5.) Maths around mechanical Engineering If you have any questions regarding my skills don´t hesitate to ask. Lucas Lobmeyer
