Garry McKay Designs

Since swapping out AutoDesk Inventor for SolidWorks Garry McKay have realised significant time savings for creating 3D CAD models.

About Garry McKay Design Ltd

G.McKay Design was established with the mission to provide an innovative, quality design service which is fast, efficient and competitive.

Challenge

The consultancy offer their clients help with part, or all of the design and manufacturing process; from initial decision-making on the product type, through conceptual design, to the finished, saleable item. Their challenge is not only to design often complex parts, but also to communicate their design ideas to clients, as well as provide full operating information.
