About Nicolas

I am a professional CAD Designer, with expertise in 3D modeling. My profile is design-oriented.

I enjoy working quickly, being efficient, having all the necessary information for design, and finding elegant solutions. Preparing for a model or prototype, testing and validating concepts.

The drawing phase: BOM (Bill of Materials), detail drawings, dimensioning chains, and drawing dossiers are necessary steps for the Project.

I am connected to the CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which allows me to integrate projects developed on this platform without needing to travel. I speak English and have several international experiences, which allows me to collaborate remotely with clients in the Eurozone via 3DEXPERIENCE.

I prefer remote work from my equipped workstation, but I remain available for occasional on-site travel in the mentioned areas if the mission requires it.

I remain at your disposal for design missions.
