A few words about my mission and future

I love designing and developing new ideas or making existing designs more practical. When I set about designing products I'm thinking at the bback of my mind of how its going to be manufactured. Concept designs are one thing but designing products for use in the real world have to manufactured some how. Therefore an understanding of manufacturing techniques is also a crutial element in the design stages. With the birth of comtemporary machinery and manufacturing processes the design limitations are becoming less frequent.

Modern UI design incorporates various devices such as expanding panels, hover

Current Software

With so many different ways to model parts and develop ideas I want to look at the major & most effective solutions with clean UI's and ease of use.
