WHAT I BRING TO THE BOARD
Computer-Aided Design
Computer-aided design enables you to bring your ideas and imagination on screen. It's an art that has revolutionised the automotive, aerospace and shipbuilding industries. It serves as a foundation for research, augmented and virtual reality, as well as industrial and architectural design.
Additive Manufacturing
It's a transformative approach to production that enables the creation of intricate, lighter, stronger parts and systems. It helps the manufacturer to bring something into reality which we have never thought about
