I started at Rexfab 20 ago but I started as a mechanical designer in January 2000. I\u2019ve worked for 6 years for a company that rented my mechanical design services to other companies in various sectors.<\/p>\n\n
There are many things you don\u2019t think about unless you\u2019ve lived them:<\/p>\n\n
\nMy role is to develop tools\u2014what we call configurators\u2014that embed our design knowledge directly into the process.<\/p>\n\n
\nThese tools ensure that even less experienced designers don\u2019t make critical mistakes.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.6em” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
For wholesale bakers, this means:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
\nSure. For example, theoretically, a conveyor might support a very tight radius based on supplier specs. But from experience, we know it won\u2019t work reliably in practice.<\/p>\n\n
This is critical when:<\/p>\n\n
They allow us to produce designs faster while maintaining quality.<\/p>\n\n
Faster + Better + More Cost-Effective<\/strong><\/p>\n
This means you can:<\/p>\n\n
\nWe always try to reuse proven components where possible. Sometimes that means using two standard parts joined together instead of creating a new custom one from scratch.<\/p>\n\n
For asset replacement:<\/p>\n
They\u2019re often amazed.
We can:<\/p>\n\n
This enables:<\/p>\n\n
\nClients can share the 3D models with their teams\u2014maintenance, operators, leadership.<\/p>\n\n
\n
It reduces risk at every stage:<\/p>\n\n
Whether you\u2019re:<\/p>\n\n
