Technical Translation for Design and Manufacturing

These are the 4 major categories of my skills. Professional Model Making, 3D CAD Modeling, Product Development and Manufacturing development.

Project Portfolio

We have heard that “a picture is worth 1,000 words”. Did you know that  a model is worth 10,000 pictures?

 

Wether it is watches, brass miniatures, wooden furniture or cabinets,  making models accurate physical models to represent the final product is very important to communicate the design intent.

Model Making

Making CAD models for Timex Corporation to accurately represent the design intent, engineering and manufacturing requirements have insured the final product retained the “soul” of the original design.

 

3D CAD software used is Unigraphics

 

3D CAD files

Working closely with Marketing, Design and Asian Manufacturing, I was able to communicate the technical requirements of Timex watches to the Industrial Designers.

 

Working with Timex’s Hong Kong office I managed 600 new watch style introductions and met 97% on time delivery of new watch introductions.

Product Development

An intimate understanding of “old school” manufacturing processes and tool making coupled with understanding of process flow, plant layout and modern day CNC manufacturing provide the ability to set up and manage manufacturing facilities around the world.
