Fáborský (remember, not a CAD guy) found out about Shapr3D from the Apple App store and decided to give it a try. He's really passionate about this: 'Yes, we have webcams pointing at the pallet-so we could monitor remotely-but then we don't have the feel or hear the sounds of what is going on.'Ĭombine the desire to be on the production floor with the need to create sketches of the pallet, grippers, and other parts of the system-or the whole system-and what technology do you use? Fáborský tells me he spends hours on the production floor, sitting next to the robot and watching how it acts in response to camera guidance. Fáborský doesn't have is traditional CAD, yet he needs to sketch out how the robot welder moves, the bins it picks from, and the enclosure it works in, to design the optimal setup. These robots are guided by cameras and other optical instruments, another of Mr. Fáborský's particular expertise is the design and commissioning of robots on welding lines.

Fáborský works in the tooling department, with 1300 other people, preparing all of the tooling for welding, casting, and stamping production lines. Late last year, Shapr3D's Ron Close arranged for me to speak with Radek Fáborský at ŠKODA AUTO, the European car company. So when the good folks at Shapr3D combined my love of CAD with my Apple fangirl-ness and sent me a spanking new iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and an M-1 Apple MacBook Air on which to try Shapr3D, I couldn't resist. Today I love talking to CAD people about what they do, along with the why and the how. I used to demo CAD in some of my product management roles. A long time ago, after the advent of the PC but before Bitcoin. You probably don't know this about me, but I used to be really good at CAD.
