Where this is my personal blog, I figured I’d do a shameless plug for the new company I’m working for. It’s still SolidWorks related as that’s what we, and by ‘we’ I mean me, use here.

Ultimate Survival Technologies is a company that produces safety/survival equipment for first responders, the military and outdoorsmen. We have everything from tinder to portable chemical decontamination facilities. The coolest thing, though, is that I’ll be recreating all of our products in SolidWorks. A lot of it is going to require old school reverse engineering (calipers and tape measure) as there just isn’t any documentation. Just the kind of challenge I like!

Also aligned with UST is Status Racing. Status Racing designs and manufactures racing seats for the “Tuner” or the professional. Memory foam, carbon fiber and kevlar are just some of the materials that go into these seats. These, too, need to be modeled up. This is an even bigger challenge for me as my experience with surfacing is all but nil.

That’s all. Just a shameless plug for the new company. I’m sure this will get burned on Pulse.
