design, create, enhance

Mission

At The CAD Guy Ltd. it is our passion to provide best quality and professional service for all of your design needs. With the help of SolidWorks software and other tools at our disposal we are able to provide a wide range of engineering design services ranging from 3D Modelling, Drafting, F.E.A. (Finite Element Analysis), Macro and Addin Creation, Rapid Prototyping, Photorealistic Rendering, Animation and others.

With strong knowledge base of SolidWorks and the necessary understanding of programming we are also able to provide advance support for other SolidWorks users. Engineering companies around New Zealand provide wide variety of products and services so why not tailor your primary design tool SolidWorks to suit your unique needs. Customized complex plugins, automates processes, simple macros that may save you hours are just some of the things that we can provide for you.

3D Modelling

  • Parametric Modeling, Skeleton/Top Down Driven Models
  • Product design, Design for Manufacture
  • F.E.A. (Finite Element Analysis)
  • Advance Surface Modeling, Sheet Metal
  • Motion Studies, Animations
  • Photo-realistic Image Rendering

Drafting

  • Manufacturing Drawings
  • Product Manuals
  • Technical Drawings
  • Pipe/Tube Routing Layout
  • Laser Cutting Patterns

Rapid Prototyping

Cut development time by quickly producing scaled physical models for testing. Create one off simple or complex models like planetary gears or fix a household items by printing a replacement part.

Model Debugging

Having trouble with existing SolidWorks project? With years of experience any model errors, lost references, poor modeling techniques, wrong template setups toolbox setup problems or other inconsistencies will be taken care off.

Design Automation

  • Automatic save/update pdf/dxf files
  • Custom Macros
  • Custom Menus and Shortcuts
  • SolidWork Add-ins
  • Advanced Design Tables
  • If you think SolidWorks can't do it but should do, chances are it can be done. Save hours of your time, most of repetitive everyday tasks can be easily automated.

Software Training

If you're struggling with finding your way around SolidWorks or just need some advice on best practices feel free to arrange a training session with an expert.

About Me

Before finishing Bachelor of Engineering Degree in 2008 I started working in engineering industry. Over the years I’ve worked around New Zealand as a design engineer on a number of large projects such as process plant design, mechanical design, reverse engineering and laser scanning using Leica 3D Laser Scanning equipment providing various manufacturing drawings, product manuals, assembly animations and rendering as well as many other services.

Through the years I extensively worked with SolidWorks software which I first came across in early years of my engineering studies. Since then I’ve spent a lot of time learning and exploring its capabilities and how they can be applied to various engineering tasks

Through my first employment back in 2008 I was able to complete my Certified SolidWorks Professional Exam (CSWP) and early in 2014 after many years of continious use of software in various fields I've set and completed my Certified SolidWorks Expert Exam.

As well as SolidWorks I also had a chance to work with Cyclone 3D Scanning, Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor software as well as a number of programming languages and manufacturing equipment.

With some previous study in Computer Science I’ve been able to explore the API functionality within SolidWorks which enabled me to push software's functionality even further.

Learning is my passion and I always strive to further develop my skills as an engineer, programmer and anything else that may capture my interests.
