WHY CHOOSE YHMDS
Drafting is a very tedious task. People have designs in mind and even model done in some instances. But to put the details on the drawing is tedious task. Its oft repeated and gets boring at times. You think you will do it later and something comes up. Here i share with you reasons why you choose my service. Draftsman is link between concepts / design and shop floor person. Proper dimensioned drawing saves lot of query for people on shop floor and thus reduces downtime and saves cost.
1. QUALIFICATION & WORK EXPERIENCE
I am a qualified Mechanical Engineer, completing my Bachelors of Engineering in mechanical stream from Osmania University Hyderabad, India. Its been certified by Engineers Australia. I further completed my course of Advanced Manufacturing Technology from Swinburne University, Melbourne.
Before i started on my own, I have worked as draftsperson for 15 years from 2008 to 2023 across various industries. Starting from Agriculture, moving to mining, then farming, defence and heavy industries like cranes, trucks, containers. I have gained experience in different materials like Steel, Aluminium, stainless steel, Hardox, wear plates, mesh, reinforcing bars, gratings, Stanchions, hand rails. Thus i am aware of standards like AS1657. Different geometry for each area so if you can build it, i can draw it. I work on Inventor and AutoCAD to do modelling and i have been working on Inventor since 2011. So good hold of all features within like animating the movements, showing position rep like door open and clsoed, Level of details (hiding unnecessary components for drawing clarity), derived parts, sheet metal, Bottom up or top down modelling.
2. FLEXIBILITY & PEACE OF MIND
I understand you have to deal with others and sometimes things change between where you started and where you end up. As a draftsperson, i have experienced changes in last minute which might need redraw and model whole thing. It can be costly change but i allow upto 2 changes at no extra cost to you. So it can be change in material, thickness, or distance between components. And my turn around times are quicker (read the reviews) as i dont have commuting issue because i work from home. So, my quote may look XX hours and seem costly but the 2 modifications can be more than actual quote time. Besides 2 modifications, i can also do drawings on your template if needed. Provide template in AutoCAD format.
Another peace of mind for you is you can save time on drafting and focus on other aspect of the business. Even if you have a draftsperson in house, they go on a holiday or take a break or resign, you have workload on hand. Alternately, You can take on extra projects, knowing you have draftsman to deal with.
3. NO DATA LOST
I Keep record of all projects undertaken. I never delete any project completed as it may be required at later stages. So if you want to reflect back or make changes for future build, i can retrieve andd send to you as emails are often too many if you working on big project. I also try to use numeric part numbers for my projects (with permission) so instead of giving description for making changes, you refer to just part number.
4. Privacy of data
No data will be shared or published without prior consent. If at all, i will add watermark to prevent key info on the drawing. Sample of that is evident on projects folder. Red text across 45 deg of page to cover key info. If model is shared, it wont have any dimensions or your name. Rest assured your info is not shared.
5. NOT just drafting
Besides modelling and drafting, i also do other tasks.
1. DXF of folded plates or flat for plasma cutting.
2. I can prepare nesting of the plates based on thickness if plasma bed size is known.
3. Model supplied for viewing using Autodesk share option so client can view model without having need to have software to see. Client can measure rotate and walk around to see model in real life.
4. Ability to import and export model from and to Inventor. I Have worked with models derived from Iron CAD, Solidworks, Revit and Advance steel to name a few.
5. Proposal models for approval or making decision.
6. Modifying models from other platform to suit the desired outcome.
7. Provide 3D models in Iso View for your online catalogue or spare part manual.
6. Quick turnaround time
Because of my experience, i am quick to get the job done so you have less waiting time and thus save on cost. I do the work in first step by getting as much information as possible if i cant get them of drawing or sketches. Also, i send first part and model drawing so i get it right first time before plunging into making drawings. It saves time when you have big task. I choose to work on software i am very comfortable with and experienced in so i can get job done quickly.
7. availability
I am available by phone, email, Facebook messenger (for sending videos from site), Google business, LinkedIn, Instagram, whatsapp, website and text. I am very transparent of my movements esp when i am travelling i will notify you in advance so you know to manage workload. I am usually out between 2 30 to 4pm for personal reasons and dont work weekends.
8. HAND SKETCH RECORDS
If you maintain your designs, concepts and sketches in a handbook, there are high chances it might be lost over time. Plus If you overwrite a dimension, it can be more confusing. Editing can make longer time using hand sketch or book. Imagine, coffee spill while you are making things. All your data is lost. CAD, on other hand, can be reprinted. Hence you always have a record of drawing. Plus, you can record changes in CAD using revisions and version numbers which change history tabulated in drawing table. With changes and date stamp.
