Neil Haynes, who started 3D Precision Pty Ltd. in beginning of the financial year of 2008 indicates the company’s youth, but with years of engineering association with over fifty different companies today and with nearly thirty years experience in various engineering disciplines has long standing associations all of them.
All the employees of 3D Precision Pty Ltd. have experience which is exceptional within their specialized field of expertise, and the company is appreciative of their individual input to contribution to project and products success with references that are impressive to say the least.
In The Beginning - 1975 In the beginning even in early teenage years, Neil, was already acquiring advanced basic knowledge of machine engineering from his first mentor, his father, Maurice Haynes, who he is highly thankful and proud of for his patience and aptitude towards engineering detail.
Neil had guidance, and gathered knowledge whilst assisting his father in the machining,and assembly of scale live stream models of NSW railway locomotives. With the power o carry up to twenty adult passengers, and complying with boiler certificate validation, these detailed engines had won several efficiency trial awards, and been exhibited in most capital cities of Australia.
Neil’s ability to turn his mind and hand to technical trade applications was displayed through industrial arts with his high school education, with timberwork, metalwork, plastic technology, and technical drawing subjects by receiving outstanding efforts awards in the year 1978.
In The Beginning - 1979 Entering into the work force back in the year 1979 Neil began by undertaking an apprenticeship in the metal fabrication industry training for qualification as a boilermaker/welder trademan. Neil achieved the first class trade certificate with distinction awards in costing and estimation, and curved surface development of light and heavy fabrication.
Undertaking an extensive boilermaker/welder trade through Sydney Ultimo Technical and Further Education College and the apprenticeship training program employed by the Department of Defence (Navy) provided shop machine work, shop fabrication, and site experience in shipbuilding and modification for the Royal Australian Navy. In this five years additional experience was attain in the design drawing office, and other strategic establishments of the Department of Defence (Navy).
With an increasing hunger to learn other facets of structural engineering a path through industrial, commercial, and residential building experience was attained working with his two older brothers who are builders in the building industry.
In 1989, further engineering studies in structural engineering were undertaken through the University of Technology, Sydney. With additional studies in surveying, an opportunity in mapping the unused gold minds of Hill End on horse back will always be a favourite story full of history and adventure.
The collection of information presented in CAD with database information has been created into a video presentation that can be seen at the Tourist Information Centre on the approaching road to the historical gold mimning township of Hill End in NSW.
After finishing engineering studies in 1993, work experience had change from the various hands-on responsibilities of steel fixing, architectural signage, industrial cool room construction and oil refinery shut downs, temporary power substations, hospital triage equipment, and ambulance fit-outs, to the office environment where the work was in design and the toolbox was exchanged for a drawing board, before computer aided design (CAD) made it obsolete. The state of the AT personal computers with 5¼ inch 360 KB disk drives were a sign of the technology advancement Bill Gates had to work with at IBM in those days, but we used them for writing specification successfully printed out on 9 dpi printers on perforated edge computer paper.
Thankfully the CAD computer which was an investment of $80,000 consisting of a RS 5000 work station hard wired to the mainframe in the climate controlled computer room; with its’ 5MB local hard disk space could process at lightning speed using the 16 bit Unix operating system otherwise it would be difficult to justify the $120,000 software package downtime. What were we thinking in those days?
Admittedly, the millennium bug was a concern of the future which presented no threat either!
What will our grand children’s children think of global warming and star wars, while their in hypo-space?
Today, computer software and hardware is so much further advanced, and affordable being an industry standard tool in engineering practices globally, with parametric enhancements have increased CAD’s operator editing performance in recent times, and quick efficient generation of details for construction, and production design editing with good engineering practical experience, and the use of finite element anaylsis ,FEA, the task of achieving the real objective of producing a physical product is much easier when a simulated model has realistic load conditions applied to a generated 3D models.
