Background
Born in Umeå and also grew up here. Except for four years,
studying, in Stockhom I have been faithful to my roots. With a
genuine interest in mechanics, electronics and the urge to simplify
the life around me I decided to study engineering. 1990 I graduated
from the Royal
Institute of Technology, KTH, with a Master of Science in Engineering specialized
in the field of hydraulic and pneumatics. With a newborn knowledge
on how to construct and control heavy mechanical equipment with
just tiny small embedded systems (computers) brought me to the
forest machine company Komatsu Forest (formely Valmet Logging). Automatic cabin leveling
system (AutoLev), an environmentally friendly chain oil
system (Eco Oiler), color marking
system and a patent for an automatic chain saw tension with
a quick change feature for harvesters are some examples of the work
done during those exciting 8,5 years. UDK, IT-consultant
firm just next to UID, became my next step. Late 1999 the Umeå
Institute of Design, UID, searched for a new CAD & CAID
lecturer. And now having the possibility to forward the cutting
edge 3D-software knowledge to inspired students is hard to
beat!
What I do at UID
I mostly teach, mainly in areas related to 3D-softwares and
visualization:
- Surface modeling, with NURBS, Autodesk AutoStudio (known as
"Alias")
- Visualization and rendering still images and animations with Keyshot, Autodesk ShowCase and Alias
- Advanced surface modeling with SolidWorks
- Export for Milling, IGES
and STEP, to be able to make milled prototypes
- Prepare for Rapid
Prototyping, RP ( friformsframställning fff)
- What is polygon modeling? Autodesk Mudbox, Autodesk Meshmixer, Netfabb
basic, MeshLab, Makehuman
- I'm also involved in "Hands on work" with milling machines and
the MasterCam software to get the pieces out.
-
Introduction to SketchUp which is a marvelous 3D-software with
impressive possibilities.
- 3D-scanning of objects with laser,
VIUscan, IR IPad
scanner or just a camera (mobile phone).
- And of course put everything together!
Exhibitions
At
Audi UNIverse, UID students presented Umeå University and their
different individual concepts for the entire design team and
leadership from Audi.
