I am a senior mechanical design and manufacturing specialist with more than 35 years of practical experience across tooling, plastics, machining, fabrication and automotive engineering. My strength is not only producing 3D CAD models. I combine advanced SolidWorks design capability with hands-on manufacturing knowledge to develop practical, production-ready components and assemblies. I can assist clients from initial concept, sketches or existing components through to detailed 3D models, assemblies and manufacturing documentation. My experience includes: • SolidWorks 3D part and assembly modelling • Mechanical design and product development • Automotive components and assemblies • Fabricated structures and weldments • Sheet-metal design • CNC-machined components • Injection mould tooling and plastic components • Tool, die, jig and fixture design • Reverse engineering • Design for Manufacture (DFM) • Production and fabrication drawings • BOM creation • STEP, DXF and manufacturing file preparation • Existing design improvement and optimisation I have extensive practical manufacturing experience and understand the importance of tolerances, material selection, welding, machining, bending, assembly access, tooling requirements and production cost. My objective is to create designs that are not only correct in CAD, but practical and efficient to manufacture.

I have been involved with piping, structural and mechanical equipment in mining & process plant most of my working life. From concept to detail design through to fabrication and construction. My experience as an artisan enhances my abilities to do design of process plants. My experience includes construction supervision of plant where I also were part of the design team. I have experience in the complete workflow, from surveying pipeline routes, calculation of pipe sizes, friction losses, pump station design, pump selection and incorporating all this into a 3D model using either Inventor, AutoCAD or AutoCAD. From this I produce fabrication drawings for use in a workshop, and construction/assembly drawing to facilitate the construction phase.
