Niels Weggeman

As a product design engineer by education, I have a special knack for the manufacturing of solutions; I love testing ideas, making things work and bringing them to life in digital or physical MVPs. I can help you with:

  • Concept development
  • Embodiment design
  • UX & UI design
  • Sustainable Design

My experience in this field mainly comes from four years of the BSc of Industrial Design Engineering at the Delft University of Technology and at Eindhoven University of Technology.

I am trained in working with several product engineering fields:

  • (Rapid) prototyping with 3D-printing
  • CAD modelling in SolidWorks & Blender3D
  • Experience & Interaction Design
  • Static & Dynamic load calculations
  • Mechatronics
  • Material & manufacturing knowledge
  • Physics Simulations in SolidWorks
  • Electronics prototyping in Arduino
  • Strategic Sustainable design
  • Fluid- & Thermodynamics in Matlab
  • LCA analysis & ECO audit in GRANTA Edupack

Next to my passion for design, I also love the hands-on experience of working like an entrepreneur.

I founded my own first startup, called ‘3DLights’, during my bachelor, have worked with several startups (a.o. Unpluq & SenseGlove), been part of the BlueDot Board in 2018 and in total I have followed more than a year of courses in entrepreneurship. I can help you with:

  • Risk-free experimentation

Bringing new worlds to life fascinates me: I have 10+ years of experience working with CAD packages like Blender 3D and Solidworks, and with visual software like Adobe CC.

This skillset helps me visually communicate in a professional fashion.
I regularly work with:
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Adobe Audition
  • Blender 3D
  • SolidWorks
  • Cura 3D
