Precision measurement firm Third Dimension has formed a new Application Engineering team, expanding its technical and customer support capabilities.

The Bristol-based company has created the team by recruiting three specialist engineers who will be tasked with working directly with customers to understand their main challenges, giving Third Dimension an insight into changing demand and requirements in the automotive, aerospace, energy, and consumer goods manufacturing industries.

Joining from a top original equipment manufacturer in the Aerospace industry, Gerard Tamayo brings ten years’ experience in manufacturing and tooling, strengthening the company’s technical knowledge and product development in the sector.

He is joined by Daniel Sherwood, a University of Bristol Mechanical Engineering graduate who will work with Third Dimension’s software and hardware engineers to seek new applications for Third Dimension’s products.

Rounding out the trio is chemical engineering specialist Jake Tivey, who holds a master’s degree from Birmingham University along with experience of the energy, mining and manufacturing sectors.

Francois Froment, Chief Executive Officer, said: “At Third Dimension we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver state-of-the-art solutions to our customers in automotive, aerospace, energy, and consumer goods manufacturing sectors.

“We constantly strive to push the boundaries of precision measurement, and our decision to create this new Application Engineering team reflects our commitment to adding value for our customers.

“With varied backgrounds across manufacturing applications, Gerard, Daniel, and Jake will each bring a fresh perspective that will help us to tackle the most sophisticated metrology challenges with our hand-held and automated measurement systems.”
