Senior product designer and CAD specialist with 15+ years of experience turning product ideas, sketches, and rough concepts into practical 3D models, technical drawings, prototypes, and production-ready design files. I specialise in product design, 3D CAD modelling, electronics enclosures, injection-moulded parts, component packaging, ergonomic refinement, DFM, exploded views, and product visualisation. I have experience working with local South African fabricators and suppliers, as well as overseas suppliers and manufacturers in China. I can help with concept development, CAD modelling, design refinement, manufacturing drawings, supplier handover files, and realistic product renders. I have professional SolidWorks experience and can work from SolidWorks files if supplied. My current CAD delivery is mainly through Onshape and neutral formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, and PDF.

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
