Speaker
- JSJim SwainI am an Applications Consultant with Synergis Technologies LLC, specializing in mechanical design and analysis. I hold certifications in AutoCAD, Inventor and Fusion 360, and am an Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI). One of the most rewarding results of this is that I am active in the Autodesk Learning Partner program, where I teach and support Fusion 360 in the educational community. I have B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University, where I started my CAD/CAE applications career path. I have worked with a variety of CAD and CAE tools in the automotive and consumer electronics industries as a design engineer, a CAD manager, and a trainer. In addition to implementing CAD at these companies I co-developed an in-house course on designing parts for injection molding. For the past 26 years, I've worked at Synergis, an Autodesk reseller in the Mid-Atlantic region. There I've conducted training, implementations, and consulting with various Autodesk products, including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Mechanical, Inventor, Fusion 360, FEA and CFD analysis tools. I especially enjoy helping others learn tools that help in their jobs, and have had the great fortune of speaking at our annual learning event, Synergis University, at Autodesk University, and at the college level during my career.
