TYPE OF SERVICE:

I can supply all my clients with just the design or from the design to the delivery of the complete machines or equipment, including prototype, engineering drawings, calculations, bill of materials, instruction and maintenance manuals. Of course I personally attend to all phases of work, assembling and testing (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.) both at the clients' suppliers and mines.
Working on and designing solid models, as much as the aesthetic parts of the machine are concerned, you can get a very clear idea of the real visual impact of the finished machine already during the designing phase. But in general it also helps designing the functional components.
Having had much experience in the field of composite materials I learnt the importance of, the major role played by the appearance of a finished product such as cover cases, panels and fairings which should also be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Another peculiarity of composite materials is that they have perfect mechanical characteristics without having any limits as much as shapes are concerned.

THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT:

Sometimes designing means reconciling contrasting needs, requirements fighting like cat and dog...

1958 Rollie Free driving at over 260 km/h on Bonneville Salt Lake wearing a bathing-cap, -suit and shoes, wins the world speed record on motorbike.

...or embarking on apparently hopeless and desperate enterprises...

...Sometimes too many brains must come to many compromises and the outcome of a long meeting is a camel instead of a racehorse...

...when there are the right conditions it is like constructing a building, everybody brings his own brick and the result is a beautiful house...

...good designing means drawing even what may seem an insignificant detail in function of the machine where it will be assembled, always taking into account the use of that machine. Going from concept to reality … from the detail to the machine...

...successful designing probably means simply interpreting the reality in a better way and therefore always look for the truth.
