Thomas Knipe

I am currently a second year student at college based in Wolverhampton studying an Engineering course. I can use tools, machinery, equipment and material to produce high standard products. I gained an interest in 3D Computer Aided Design programmes, I use them to produce detailed virtual drawings to give me a perfectly clear idea of what my design will look like in 3D.

In my spare time I set my self challenges and design new products, but because I'm a student, rapid prototyping machines are expensive so I can't really do much with my designs. By owning one I can put my designs into production. I am hoping to go to University after I have completed College to study Industrial Design. After University I hope to progress into a career designing products for a company or own my own design consultancy.
