I. Spasic designs models for testing in wind tunnels, including the interior redesign of models for placing measurement equipment, redesign of the exterior of the model for optimization of geometry for the wind tunnel test, making the necessary technical documentation, production and assembly documentation. His work includes coordination with manufacturing engineers in the preparation of technological process and machining (CAM), and coordination of all stages and final model control.

His work includes the following:

• Working as CAD engineer, proficient in computer-aided design in Siemens NX (Formerly Unigraphics).
• Advanced knowledge of 3D design, assembly design, surfacing, drafting and documentation, and control of models geometry
• Developing models that meet needs of wind tunnel testing, most often on a compressed time schedule.
• Preparation or/and editing of solid models using NX versions 7.5 and 8.
• Conversion of models to 2D drawings, and in many cases converting 2D drawings to 3D models.
• Reverse engineering (the reverse-engineering process involves measuring an object and then reconstructing it as a 3D model).
• Creating assembly documentation, reports and assembly guides.
• Design of mold tools for plastic or composite materials.
• Design of electrodes for electric discharge machines.
• Design of large number of prototype parts, tools or assemblies used in MTI (The Military Technical Institute – Republic of Serbia).
• Design of 3rd-party (non army) customer projects.
• communication with wind tunnel engineers, manufacturing Engineers and production personnel.

Fantossi is a multi-lingual CAD expert, focusing on Catia (versions 4 and 5). He received his training at Escola Técnica Industrial de São Bernardo do Campo. He specializes in preparing 3D models for automotive clients (body, trim, doors, etc.).

B. Keith develops technical illustrations for technical manuals, patent drawings for inventions to be filed with the U.S. Patent Office and designed and built interactive displays for conventions since 2008. Employed for 16 years by a major Patent Law firm where he gained his expertise in preparing patent drawing and trademark drawing documentation for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as the World Patent Organization. While at the law firm, his innovations resulted in a 70% increase of production at a lower cost to clients. Started his drafting career on the drafting board using manual tools designing and detailing a variety of drafting projects for manufacturing and production prior to joining the law firm. Work included accurate drawings for floor and space plans, medical devices, electronic, wire and cable schematics, flow charts processes, piping and electrical systems, assembly and detailed parts with orthographic and isometric cutaway and exploded views following Drafting Standards and Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerances. He has updated his skills to include AutoCAD, Microsoft Office Visio, Word and Excel, and is currently developing his skills in 3D modeling.

D. Bryson began work in machining and metalworking in Canada in 1981, becoming a world recognized journeyman tool and die maker in 1985. Re-entering the workforce as a CAD designer, he worked his way up to Senior Mechanical Engineer in a leading microwave radio company. He shares recognition in two patents relating to his design work of microwave radios. His previous hands-on metalworking experience has benefitted him greatly in his design career, where he continues to design and develop innovative yet simple-to-manufacture parts and assemblies. Familiar with all aspects of manufacturing including precision machining and grinding, stamping, die casting and welding. He is an expert in Solid Works and AutoCAD, including import and export of the many other software platforms in the marketplace.

Interview with Mr. D. Bryson

1. What kinds of clients do you serve?

   My clients are varied. My background is in metalworking and mechanical CAD, both 2D & 3D. I have worked on very complicated mechanical assemblies and manufacturing drawings for the microwave industry, the semi-conductor industry, the nuclear industry and just the manufacturing industry in general. I have also worked with architectural CAD and have a client in the low voltage retrofit industry whose major customers are school districts and hospitals. They upgrade security systems and classroom technology. I have done both 2D drawings and 3D renderings for them. I have another client that installs automatic car wash systems and I do all their installation drawings. I have another client for whom I do RV park layouts. Finally, I have created drawings for individuals to submit with patent applications.

2. What was the most interesting CAD project that you ever worked on?
   What made it interesting?
   What challenges did you face?

   The most interesting project I worked on was a proprietary mechanical system that I can’t even talk about since the patent application is still pending. It had many small mechanical assemblies and a very large final assembly. All the work was in 3D. It will be interesting to see it actually come to fruition and know I was a part of it. I had to research many new to the market components that went into the assembly, create 3D models of them and integrate them correctly.

3. Of the software tools that you use, which is your favorite and why?

   My favorite tool is Solid Works. With my mechanical background, it is the most versatile software available that ties part modeling, assemblies and drawings all together parametrically. I can’t imagine doing the work I do today on a drawing board with a pencil. A week’s work would take a year!

4. What trends are you observing in the market for CAD services? How have these trends affected you, and how are you responding to them?

   I have talked to all my clients many times over the last 2 years, thinking that they were bringing their CAD requirement in-house since I had shown a significant decrease in business from all of them. This was not the case. It is simply a slowdown in all industries. If anything, they have laid off their own full time people and are still planning on outsourcing the majority of their CAD work.

5. What do you like about working as an interim CAD draftsman or external CAD consultant working on a time-bound project?

   I have always been good at time management and servicing several clients on several projects at the same time. I have never missed a deadline or had an unhappy client. With a home office, I have the flexibility to work any hours required to get the job done.

6. Have you ever provided CAD consulting services remotely, either via phone, the Web or email?
   Do you use any screen sharing tools (like Webex, Skype, or GoToMeeting), and are they effective?
   What kinds of questions and problems could you tackle remotely?
   Are there any issues that you feel are better handled face-to-face?

   I have been involved in many remote meetings as an observer but have not yet had the necessity to launch my own meeting.
