"As someone who worked in market development and business development for years, there are a few basic common sense rules and traps.

Grabcad mobile office design

Designed in Siemens NX8

Less then 5 hours for design, and one more for good render, and this is result.


It started with Grabcad challenge GrabCAD Office Mobile Meeting Room. As I have some practical experience with fairs/exhibitions and I know that good "portable" office is what most companies need in such cases. This "portable" or mobile office  have all you need for meetings, short or long. This small office can make quiet and calm oasis in hurried and crowded halls or rooms/large offices. It is equipped with air conditioner that blow fresh air from back side of seats making good atmosphere for sparking, brainstorming session. It have power for portable devices, natural and artificial lighting, bis screen for presentations, can be equipped with video conference equipment, whiteboard, intercom etc.

Birdhouse (free CAD download file)

Designed in Siemens NX8


Last few days there is too many splines in my life :) so I had to make something simple to relax a little. For no special reason I designed this birdhouse... it is more like bird hotel then a house. I hope I will have house with yard someday so I can make this in real.
Model if free for download, please send me images if you make this birdhouse.

Wind turbine (free CAD download file)

Designed in Siemens NX6

In the light of some recent events I just had to make this model of wind turbine. It does not have many details but it is good for rendering and maybe some simulations and analysis. Please note that this is not blade of real wind turbine, and that this design is not product of any math, this is just a shape that I found on internet and make it look little smoother, so any use of this model is on your own responsibility. If you find this model useful for some purpose other then making renderings please let me know, I will be truly grateful.
