Andrew Buc

I'm Andrew Buc, a mechanical drafter/designer at Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group.

My approach to solid modeling and design is to take the long view. I strive to create CAD files that will not just fill the immediate need, but will be usable in the future without "gotchas." I also believe in sharing expertise. An instructor of mine once said something that has stuck with me: the employee who develops a better technique is valuable to the employer, but the employee who teaches the technique to his or her coworkers is even more so. On my current job I am known as the go-to guy for Autodesk Inventor questions.
