A year on and different opinions about some things (eg: no more praise for Google Adwords).
If I had to say something about it I would say "No Comment".
Anyone need an acrylic fence - or want to know how it will look?
What about this then. I used a photo of the proposed fence position and used it as a background image in Solidworks. Then added my 3D solid model assembly and tweaked the lighting direction, colour and shadows etc. etc. Don't think I even ran it through Photoworks. It looks real doesn't it.
Post design
Vehicle trailers seems to be the theme this year. Don't ask me why, it just happened that way. As below..
Pyro Company
A trailer design for Pyro fireworks company. 5 metres long x 2 metres wide. Pallet truck loading through 2 double doors at the back and 2 serving hatches on one side. The inside is lined with plywood and Aluminium clad exterior. A bit of rendering to do here in Solidworks utilising one of the standard background images that no-one ever seems to use.Don Knight Race-days trailer
A large 5 metre long trailer with a structure on top which mounts 4 large LED cabinets and another LED cabinet on each end hinging out like pages in a book. The whole LED display is over 7 metres long and can pivot to a horizontal position for transport and driving into a low ceiling garage. The whole unit weighs around 2000Kg I reckon and will be operational pretty soon. Twin axle and electric brakes.Aakron trailers
A range of boat trailers for Aakron Trailers in Silverdale. Lots of stock simplification going on here by standardising on subassemblies.
Mactrap under bench grease trap
Design for left hand and right hand units this year. PLC controlled with easy operator access. Dennis & Elspeth at Mactrap went on a country wide road tour this year beginning at The Fieldays Show in Hamilton. Lots of interest by all and some units in service and still running and performing, Mactrap reckon these units remove an enormous amount of grease from kitchen waste water. Further info pending copyrights & published information.Craig Hawkins Unigrip rifle handle
Developed and rapid prototyped for Craig Hawkins. Craig showcased his new product at 'The Fieldays Show' too and attracted a lot of interest. I believe he is manufacturing 1000+ units to start with.

Gamma bracing
3D models & files supplied for Gamma bracing frames.
They fit in between the wooden studs in a building and strengthen against earthquake, wind damage, etc.http://gammabracing.co.nz/index.php/gallery/photos.html
Leader tag tool
Many hours spent getting this one to work. We went through multiple design phases before settling on a final concept. This tag tool applies ear tags to cows, deer, sheep, goats etc. Rapid prototyping and casting all developed from Solidworks models. All prototyping over now and production very close at hand.
