GrabCADr Luis Cordoba has become quite noticeable in the community as well as outside of GrabCAD, getting quite a lot of attention for his award-winning design for the Firanse R3. We’ve been talking lots about his work and how to make GrabCAD better, which warranted a little spotlight.
What’s a great jet aircraft design without a jet engine? For most aerospace CAD designers, you’ve probably seen and downloaded the work of this fine GrabCAD Engineer, Chris Shakal. With 3 out of the top 5 most downloaded Jet Engine designs on GrabCAD, Chris has turned his passion for aviation into parasolids, sharing with everyone. So we decided who better than Chris for another Engineer’s Spotlight!
Jarek Turkosz's Goldster Motorbike caught our eye last month - we couldn't believe the beauty of the curves and slick renderings by Jarek. So much so, we had to put the Spotlight on this fine Design Engineer and GrabCADr and get an answer to that burning question 'Who's the one behind the CAD?'
What do Chesspieces, Ninja Stars, Mastheads and Hot-Air Balloons have in common? Tommy Mueller of course. Calling from Portland, Oregon, Tommy is a relatively new member to GrabCAD, but also an entrepreneur, a metalworker, an inventor and a designer. I stumbled across his blog recently, and we got chatting not just about GrabCAD but his more recent foray into advanced solar systems.
Photo-rendering has become an art onto itself. Sure, photorealism has been around in film and gaming for a while – but product demonstration is in growing demand. As it turns out, a lot of students have begun to turn to GrabCAD’s 60,000 file Library to practice and perfect their skills. We caught up with one such user – James Coleman – and put him under our ray-traced, gamma-corrected Engineer’s Spotlight!
Alexander Papadopoulos is a Mechanical Engineering student from Greece, now on an internship at Karel de Grote Hogeschool in Antwerp, Belgium. You’ve probably come across his best known design, the 3D printed Synchromesh Gearbox. A pretty wicked design, deserving of a little time in our spotlight.
Verislav is our top Engineer on GrabCAD, #1 in terms of points. Usually we put the spotlight on those who aren’t on the frontpage of GrabCAD, but there comes a time when you have to answer that question – how did you do it? And who are you? And Verislav kindly agreed to answer a few questions for our Engineer’s spotlight.
Easton is one of the number of young GrabCAD users out there – an embryonic Engineer. We noticed all of these interesting designs in the library and found out that Easton was all of 14 years old. I don’t know where you were at 14, but getting a computer with a Graphic User Interface was probably a tough job for half our user-base. We got in contact with him and had a nice chat for our Engineer’s Spotlight!
Stef Varga is an Engineer known on GrabCAD for his intense love for everything ZW3D, stellar renders of other people’s work and a love for designing and uploading flying cars and spaceships. In the real world he lives in Maribor, Slovenia and works for BiroCom2000 as their ZW3D CAD/CAM specialist. We got a chance to catch Stef and throw the Engineer’s Spotlight on him.
