Technical Translation for Design and Manufacturing

Working with the industrial designer, manufacturing and engineering as a “technical translator”, I helped to ensure the accurate representation of the original design intent on these products.

CAD sculpting was used to accurately translate the design intent into reality.

Text Box: Timex—HELIX crown set digital watch

The Timex Triathlon re-design was a breakthrough. It was a thin looking digital watch which was very popular. The thin look was achieved by deceptive cad modeling.

Timex—women’s oval watch

The crisp details and the complex form of this design were communicated to manufacturing by the CAD file.

I made many technical translation instructions and descriptions for Timex Industrial Design. I presented the manufacturing technical data in a format which was easy for the designers to understand.
