CAD DRAUGHTSMAN / CAD-STL TECHNICIAN / TRACER

During the last 26 years I have been involved within Engineering, initially as a

Rigger/Ropeman with the Diamond & Gold Mines of South Africa but latterly, and for

the last 16 years, as an Engineering Draughtsman. Together with studying the design

aspects of Mechanical/Building Service Engineering, numerous qualifications relating

to the efficient use of CAD systems, mainly AutoCAD, were undertaken. My Draughting

abilities, complimented by the efficient use of AutoCAD and other CAD System translations,

coupled with my knowledge in Engineering Design has led to numerous positions and

contracts involving M & E Building Services, Product Design and 3D component Prototyping

using StereoLithography Apparatus (SLA), Silicon Graphics Hardware where Irex 5.3 Software

being used for the set-up of such components.
