Real Steel


2021 - 2023
My time at Real Steel has had me become more aware and interested in the process of converting a design into a manufactured object at a commercial scale. Desiging for manufacture and working in such close proximity with the factory team has been an invaluable experience.
Skills I developed throughout my time:

- Design for manufacture
- Solidworks CAD modelling / drafting
- Solidworks PDM
- Machine limitations
- Lean manufacturing
- Quoting and commercial analysis
- Use of ERP programs
- Steel grades and applications
