Sharma provides engineering services to structural steel and pre-engineered steel builders. He has worked with churches in the US and a company involved in digital electronic equipment, construction material and car accessories equipment.
When serving clients in the US, he works according to the building code standards of MBMA and AWIS. Since building code standards change from company to company based on their production capability, so he collects their standards during the course of a project. In this way, he easily adopts their standards during the preparation of GAD’s (general arrangement drawings), which he then uses for creating fabrication drawing. A fabrication drawing is further used to create shop drawings. Based on such shop drawings, he creates a component list in the form of a shipper (i.e. equipment lists for the logistics service provider).
On the basis of a company’s standards and approved drawings, he prepares shop, fabrication or component assembly drawings and bills of materials (BOM’s) or shippers. He mainly uses AutoCAD, TEKLA and MS Office to prepare these documents.
With respect to pre-engineered buildings (PEB’s), he handles all types of complexity, such as high bay and low bay combinations, fascia, bypass and flush conditions, mezzanines, cranes and crane walkway platforms, staircases, sunken slab mezzanine cut outs, canopies, screw downs and floating roof systems.
Attigeri has worked extensively on projects involving 2D to 3D conversion in CAD, product development (Mechanical) and structural design (Civil). He is skilled in Torrid, AutoCAD and other CAD software SolidWorks, Tekla2017. He has worked for clients from Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Egypt and Canada. He is currently living in India and has an experience of 15 years in this field. He welcomes the change in the use of technology. With the use of Skype and Webex, he often shares desktop and provides consulting remotely. He adds that these tools also prove to be of great help when he is working with clients abroad.
His core specialties include mechanical concept design, product design & development, tool design, press tool design & mould design, 2D to 3D & 3D to 2D conversion, 3D modeling & 3D rendering, reverse engineering, machine design / SPM, pharmaceutical packing machine format parts design and development, structural steel design and detailing of fabrication drawings.

E. Barnes has extensive experience in the field of mechanical drafting and design technology.
A. I designed a hat box to accommodate different sizes in Solidworks. The maximum lip dimensions were put into an Excel spreadsheet and I was given an image to trace. By accident the box also turned out to be suitable to be converted to fit a Star Vader helmet.
B. I designed a SAM – sniffer (sensor) in 3D AutoCad. It is a detector for a dirty radiation bomb.
I use AutoCad for 2D work, and SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Pro/E, Creo for 3D.
I keep up to date with software by practicing
I do everything myself. I don’t feel comfortable giving work to someone else because it may not turn out to be correct. I would rather make and correct my own mistakes.

V. Gainoutdinov is currently an independent CAD consultant, a role he has performed since 1993. Mr. Gainoutdinov was previously the head of design at Lambda Research optics, a mechanical engineering design company based in the United States, from 1993 to 2013.
Mr. Gainoutdinov oversaw all design activities for the company and managed a team of 2D and 3D designers (focusing on Autodesk Inventor SolidWorks, AutoCAD and CATIA 5). Mr. Gainoutdinov started his career as Mechanical Engineer at Sure Fire LLC., where he was responsible for implementing the use of CAD tools in the company. He also worked directly with the company’s customers, including military personnel and engineers. Mr. Gainoutdinov received a BMES in Mechanical Engineering/Aerospace from MATI.
All projects which I managed were challenging . Challenges differ from material of the product to customer requests. Solution is simple: do what customer required.
I use different CAD software, such as Solid Works,Autodesk Inventor, CATIA V5, Pro-E CREO. All software are different in way of operation and speed
I do update my skills by keeping myself informed by checking Engineering Websites, company new product development announcements regarding material properties and product design based on new modern materials. I do have some plans.
I prefer to do jobs myself because I am not sure that anyone else can make my project better.
Prajapati has been working on CAD-based projects since 2003. He is skilled in both 2D drafting as well as 3D modelling.
He has mainly been handling commercial building projects for clients. He has worked on projects for corporate clients, registered NGOs and international organizations that focus on school construction projects. From 2015 he has been working for an international NGO involved in projects related to agriculture, forestry, health, education, disability, renewable energy, construction, environment and poverty reduction in Nepal.
His favorite software for 2D drawings is AutoCAD and for 3D visualization he prefers SketchUp, but also creates models in Revit. For 3D visualization, he makes use of SketchUp and Autodesk 3DS Max. For creating animations, he uses Lumion Architecture along with Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. He has drafted and put together raster to vector conversions in the past but has been focusing mainly on 2D modelling since 2015.
His favorite project was a cable car project in Nepal. The project aids tourists visiting a temple near Mount Everest. The challenge here was to design standard machinery drawings and to include every detail of the cable car supplier. This involved a great amount of coordination.
He uses Skype, Viber and WhatsApp to communicate with clients when working on a project at a location far from his client.
