Product Design

Over the course of my career, I have utilized a variety of CAD and PDM software tools to deliver product and fixture designs. I am ready to support your design project needs using SolidWorks which is one of the most commonly used CAD tools in the industry.
In addition to typical design constraints like loads, materials, and environmental factors, how parts and assemblies will be manufactured and inspected are key considerations in the course of design. GD&T is key to these design inputs because it establishes datum reference frames through which the part or assembly interfaces with surrounding items in the system. Furthermore, incorporating GD&T into the design from the beginning simplifies downstream activities like tolerance analysis, production fixture design, and inspection gauge design.
