With more than 20 years of engineering experience, Howard has worked with changing technology tools from drawing boards through to fully integrated 3D CAD.Within the last decade a move to Solid Solutions and more latterly to TriMech has changed focus from delivering engineering products to delivering digital transformation around PLM and platform tools.
Supporting Howard in the digital transformation and the 3D CAD environment are more than 50 technical staff with a full range of capabilities covering all industries and toolsets
Over 25 years’ experience in the engineering industry. Starting at a fabrication and factory automation firm that built secondary steelwork for many architectural projects and added turnkey robotic automation to many production lines in a variety of industries. Then moved into the technical training and supporting role enabling engineers to get the most out of their design and analysis tools.
A user of 2D CAD since the early 90s, to using 3D CAD in the early 2000s, and continuing to stretch my knowledge to new avenues in the technology, always with a desire to learn and grow more.
