S. Shaikh has been working on CAD based projects since 2010. He is proficient in AutoCAD for 2D and Revit for 3D modelling. He has a mechanical design background and has a good knowledge about electrical design concepts as well. Mr. S. Shaikh is currently working on Revit projects for prime luxury hotels in India for a US consulting company. He is skilled in the use of screen sharing tools like Skype to get client feedback. One of the challenging projects that he has worked on was for a Moroccan palace for which he designed floorplans, layouts and isometric single line 3D diagrams.

Manocha has been working as an AutoCAD designer since 2011. He is a qualified mechanical engineer. He has been designing laboratory constructs for pharma companies and universities in India. He has also worked on projects for automotive companies.
He creates 2D and 3D designs on AutoCAD. Most of his work involves creating new designs and redesigning panels and gas pipes for laboratories. Since 2016, he has been creating product and machine designs for a food processing plant for an American multinational confectionary. The project involves setting up twenty-seven lanes and redesigning a Korean machine to fit into a small space of the plant in India. Since 2015, he has also been preparing designs for a hydroelectric project for another American company in India.
He interacts with clients over the phone and WhatsApp when he is away from the site location. For example, he recently made use of Skype and WhatsApp while working on designs for a solar plant near Agra-Jaipur highway. He used them to transfer files and make modifications.

Rao is currently an independent Tekla steel modeler, a role he has performed since 2004. He has experience with body shop drawings and BRPL structural detailing.
M. Mia has been working in the construction sector for more than 10 years, with a focus on design and drawing. He is an expert in coordinating all the issues related to real estate projects, including architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing and design check. This includes:
Venkatesh constructs projects involving structural and mechanical design and drafting. He is skilled in the use of Skype and Mikogo to interact and share screens with clients, and often uses them to exchange details with colleagues. He is competent in the use of AutoCAD 2D and 3D as well as Revit and specializes in 3D modelling. He is also competent in ArchiCAD and Rhinoceros 3D.
He has created simulations for heating and ventilation systems using Revit. He also handles projects involving raster to vector conversions. One of the projects that he found most challenging was with Esplanade One Mall in Bhubaneswar for which he worked on the technology of facade and curtain wall glazing. He is also skilled in flying ribbon modelling which was also applied in this project.
Over the last few years he has worked on a number of projects for steel contractors and real estate clients in Australia. He has worked on product design for a leading global contractor in engineering and interior systems. He also specializes in conceptual modelling using grasshopper code and Tekla for steel modelling.
Sasaki has been handling R&D projects for cars and truck companies and design or modeling studios in Japan and China.
One of the most challenging projects that he has worked on was the business-class seat production, a 3D CAD-based project for Singapore Airlines’ new Airbus A380. It was a two-year commitment to incorporating international development standards from the UK, Singapore, and Japan.
His favorite software is Autodesk Alias, the mainstream surface modeler for styling and designing cars and trucks. He uses Alias for V2 jet designs, one of the primary software tools for designing and styling automotive and aircraft equipment. He mostly designs 3D models and does rendering and basic animation using Alias. He also uses Autodesk Showcase and Rhino for 3D modeling. He is competent in the use of Inventor. He also handles 3D CAD-based projects that require working on SolidWorks and Creo.
Mr. Sasaki has worked on-site in Japan, Malaysia, and China for a considerable number of years but he enjoys CAD consulting as well. He owns a 3D industrial design firm that also provides external design consulting.
Most of his clients are overseas, and he communicates with them via e-mail, phone calls and sometimes by Skype to share his Alias CAD-screen. He often has a kick-off meeting with a client. He believes that car companies generally dislike remote design work, so on-site work becomes more or less mandatory.
H. Sanghani has worked as a project architect for some of the leading firms in India, focusing on railway stations, airports and interior design projects. Mr. Sanghani oversaw all design activities for the companies he worked with, and managed a team of 2D and 3D designers (focusing on Photoshop, AutoCAD and 3DMax). He received his M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Infrastructure from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, and is a member of the Council of Architecture in India.

Patel has been drafting and designing since 2008. He has been actively involved in product development for a number of companies. The 3D models and simulations that he creates are further used to estimate actual weight and area of objects, lookout of objects and manufacturing time.
He has constructed 3D models and simulations for aircraft test equipment and test stands, models for aircraft and industrial load banks, packaging solutions for the pharma and pesticide industries, design drawings for food and dairy. He has fabricated drawings for brewery, cosmetics and all types of gear boxes, design models for industrial hoists and cranes, packaging solutions for hydroponic fodder systems and models for bellows expansion joints in cross country pipelines. He has produced drawings for heat exchangers, pressure vessels and tanks, hydraulic solutions, foundry and furnace industries and ceramic industries. Working as a CAD professional on these projects, he has gained confidence in his skill as a CAD engineer.
He feels that the projects he found most interesting and challenging were for:
His favorite tools are AutoCAD for 2D, SolidWorks for 3D, CreoFusion360 and Inventor.
According to Mr. Patel, there is an increasing demand for CAD-based projects that require 2D drafting, isometric drawings, schematic diagrams, 3D modelling, simulation, animation, surface modelling, sheet metal work, weldment, piping and routing and analysis.
He typically works remotely and communicates via email. He also uses Skype frequently and finds it very effective, although he says sometimes it’s difficult to handle troubleshooting on Skype due to file size and formatting limitations.
