Stamping simulation & Tool design specialists
Nick Sephton - Owner
I've been an Automotive Engineering consultant for over 15 years, having spent the previous 10 years learning the trade on the shop-floor moving into CAD and then feasibility. I have used CATIA and Autoform for 20 and 15 years respectively, spending time at both OEM's and Tier 1 suppliers. During this time I have designed press tools for prototype, semi-production and production press lines. I have carried out numerous feasibility studies on parts, structures, and full vehicles, working both within teams and individually. I have produced jigs for checking and inspection plus fixtures for laser robot welders. I pride myself on integrating seamlessly within existing teams and am very easy to work with to meet whatever demands the customer requires.
