What skills and knowledge do a versatile lighting engineer need to master?
The following is personal understanding, welcome to point out each lamp friends correct and perfect, so that more peers understand, thank you!
1. Skills required for structure:
1.1 software is fundamental: 3 d software have PROE/croe, UG, solidworks, catia, etc., will be at least one, CAD software is will
1.2 Mold structure: plastic mold, plastic material characteristics, die-casting mold, aluminum material properties, metal stamping, aluminum extrusion metal surface treatment (such as anode, powder spraying, paint baking, oxidation, etc.)
1.3 safety
1.4 Market Changes
2. Skills needed for electronics:
2.1 Software CAD AD(protel99), etc
2.2 Circuit diagram, performance of light source, function and performance of electronic components, product power, power factor, energy efficiency, PCB material/process, etc
2.3 safety
3 Skills to master in optics:
3.1 Common software: TracePro,LightTools, Hela, Zemax, etc
