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 , 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 (formely Valmet Logging). , an environmentally friendly chain oil system (), and a 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, , 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")
  • Polygon modeling with Blender and SketchUp
  • Visualization and rendering still images and animations with Keyshot, Autodesk VRED Pro 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) 3D-printing
  • What is polygon modeling? Autodesk Alias, Autodesk Meshmixer, Netfabb basic, MeshLab, Makehuman
  • I'm also involved in "Hands on work" with milling machines Cam software to get the pieces made.
  • Introduction to SketchUp which is a marvelous 3D-software with impressive possibilities.
  • 3D-scanning of objects with laser, Go!SCAN 3D, IR IPad scanner or just a camera (photogrammetry).
  • And of course put everything together!
