CAD EXPERIENCE I was introduced to designing on the computer at
Digital Equipment Corp, initially trained, using Unigraphics 3d wire-frame
software. Shortly there after - Parametric Technologies Inc Pro-Engineer,
which I have used to this day. I currently have over 40,000 hours logged in
to this application and designed many products in part or in whole.
Introduced to Pro-e on Version 3 and currently working on Wildfire 3.0.
Other 3D applications I'm familiar with are Catia, Solidworks and AutoCAD.
I have extensive experience in creating parts ready for injection molding
or blow molding. This same can be said for creating sheet metal parts in 3D
and have them unfold properly for manufacturing. All of this work mentioned
above, using Pro-engineer, has been with the use of PTC's Top-Down design
methodology. This also includes advanced surfacing.
Additional Training: GE Design for Manufacturing
Glenn Beall's Design for Plastic Parts
Designing with Six Sigma
Woodie Flower's Design for Assembly
PTC's Top-Down Design Methodology
