About Me

Anna Wood

I am a Design Engineer at Auer Precision in Mesa, Arizona, spending my days designing products and tooling with SolidWorks.  I spec and maintain the CAD workstations that we use in our engineering group.  CAD data management is another area that I oversee at Auer.

Started out my career in mechanical design many moons ago before the age of computers.  Learned the trade back in Michigan, working in the automotive industry, as a product designer creating Class A sheet metal, interior trim and instrument panel designs for the GM Truck Group. 

I blog about CAD design, computers and other technology that interests me.

I also am Group Leader for the Phoenix Metro Area SolidWorks User Group.

I am an aviation nut.  Have my pilot’s license (although it has been a while since I have flown).  With interests in Steel Tube and Fabric, Homebuilts, Aerobatics and Air Racing.
