About
My name is Don Benoit, owner of Apex CAD Services LLC. I have had a passion for mechanical design since a young age. I am a career machinist as a CNC Programmer but through some fortunate relationships have been able to do design work on the side for most of my career. I am currently employed as a Mold Designer.
I am proficient in multiple CAD/CAM packages. I have been using Solidworks for 20 years. Working with customers on part design is one of my biggest pleasures. Nothing compares to bringing someones vision to life for them. With 30 years in the Tool and Die industry you can be assured you part will be mold-able. I believe communication is key on any project, no matter the scope, and treat each client as a team member working toward a common goal. I look forward to servicing your CAD needs.
