The Role:
Training will be given to enable the successful applicant to achieve the following:
Taking customer drawings, interpret them and be able to import them into the CAD system and develop them into 3D models or use information within them to determine dimensions for 3D model
Use own initiative and artistic flair to create featured parts such as volutes and scrolls to look as good as possible and be practical to produce
Use advanced surface modelling techniques to achieve results where required
Discuss issues with customer as required and find resolution
CAD: Using captured survey data, create a full 3D model using our CAD system (SolidWorks)
In a structured way create the underlying structure
Draw handrail profile and produce a full 3D cad model of the proposed handrail
Refine curves to smooth out flow of handrail and ensure that there is no deformity in the profile
Identify best place for and create all joints in the proposed handrail to optimize machine time, aesthetic appearance, joints and strength
Insert relevant smart features (fixings and dowels) where required ensuring these are the correct type and size for the handrail or part being made
