About
VITA Dipl.-Ing. Timm Kuhl
Timm Kuhl graduated in 2006 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from TU Darmstadt, Germany. Focus in the study and the working student activities was data processing in the digital product development process.
After the first years of CAD consulting for OEMs and Tier 1 of the automotive industry, in 2009 he took the step into self-employment as a programmer and CAD consultant.
More than ten years of experience in methodology development with CATIA V5 are complemented by CAD / CAM programming and administration expertise. Today's focus is on automation of information processing within the digital product development chain around the CAD systems CATIA V5 and Siemens NX as well as SolidWorks, AutoCad and Tekla Structures.
