I can support or drive following activities
Ideation / Industrial design
Often the mechanical part of product development starts with an ID from a designer. It comes as surface model
It's the mechanics job to turn this into something that can be used and produced
It's important to continue the close collaboration with the designers to avoid compromises on the design or mechanics
Concepting
The concept phase is where innovation is introduced into the product
All ideers needs to be evaluated and only the best should be selected
Hand drawings and fast CAD moddels is the tools for this phase
Mechanical design
When the concept is selected the solution is detailed in CAD
It's important to to make a healthy CAD model from the beginning
If changes is needed later this can be implementer fast and efficient without serious problems
CAD programs supported - Solidworks - Creo - Inventor/ Fusion - Onshape
Drawings / Documentation
Making healthy production documentation is art form. If done correctly it has major advantages
Having the right balance between need and must haves is the key
Drawing needs to have the important funktionel features defined and no more
This ensures that everything fits the first time its assembled and there after
Prototyping / Production
It's often a good ideer to prototype the solutionens that has been designed
A prototype can give information on how vel the virtual design performes in the real world
It can be used for assembly test, usertest and strengt test and much more
Prototypes is also the best presentation piece for project stakeholders and can give them confidence in a product
