Did you know?

by Adam Baker

When blogging, I try to reach back into the mind of the blog reader to determine what they yearn to read. If you are reading this blog it may be for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to)

• mental break from work
• gain insight via social media
• accidental search engine mishap
• Curiosity as to what the big "B" was on the bottom of the TriMech website.

At any rate, I'm going to give you a random series of "Did you Knows" this morning. Some deal with products and solutions we sell, some with our company. I'm hoping at least one of these is something you didn't know before but you wish you did. Hopefully, this will be entertaining and enlightening....but no promises.

So, without further ado, Did you know....

1. TriMech Solutions has over 3000 Clients it services? That's right. Our offices from Pittsburgh to Atlanta work with over 3000 companies. The cool thing about being involved with so many companies as an Engineer here is that you get to see a lot of different processes and products. After working for TriMech as an Engineer for over 7 years, I never take for granted the products I interact with on a daily basis as EVERYTHING has some rhyme or reason as to why it was designed the way it is.

Look around you right now and pick just one object-maybe a tape dispenser or hole punch. How was it created? Were there manufacturing reasons the design was made the way it is, or does the design have more of an influence from aesthetics? (or is it a cheap as we can build it model?)

2. SolidWorks 2011 was the 19th release of the software ? SolidWorks began in 1995 with the release of SolidWorks 1995. For those of us that were around for the first few releases, there have been significant changes to the product over the years. My first experience with SolidWorks began with SolidWorks 97 plus. I remember having to be very deliberate about the way you created sketches and features. Now the software is much more forgiving. These young whippersnappers have it so much easier today, I can remember having to design in the snow uphill both ways barefooted…..but I digress.

3. TriMech employs over 50 people, and 40% are engineers? The owners of TriMech always felt strongly about having a technical team to support the products and solutions they offered. 5 dedicated Engineers on staff focus 100% on answering tech support calls. The rest of us are there to

• Help with local client support
• Train classes
• Demonstrate products to prospective prospects and existing clients
• Assist clients with project-based Service Work

So, just a few “Did you Knows” on a Monday morning. Come back soon for our next exciting blog entry and as always feel free to reach out to us via email at info@trimech.com with any specific questions we can assist you with.
