Straight Talk from George Donagher – Mechanical Engineer at Bord Na Móna

August 25th, 2009 admin No comments

“Comparing Pro/ENGINEER to other 3D CAD Tools? The difference is like night and day.”


Pro/ENGINEER User George Donagher of Bord Na Móna PLC – the leading Irish producer of peat processing equipment, has more than 10 years of engineering experience. Having worked with other 3D CAD tools such as Autodesk® Mechanical Desktop earlier in his career, he turned to Pro/ENGINEER and has continued using it ever since.

“The difference between Pro/ENGINEER and other 3D CAD products is like night and day,” says Donagher. “The software was really easy to learn – I got familiar with the basic functionality in less than a week. At the same time, every workday continues to be a learning day – and that is exactly where the strength of the product lies. I am surprised again and again with its power and with the amount of detail that is possible when designing with Pro/ENGINEER.”

“Even complex designs – such as intricate turbo gears – become child’s play with the tools from Pro/ENGINEER.”

Pro/ENGINEER UserDr. Ing. Heinrich J. Prümper has worked with Pro/ENGINEER for more than 10 years.

Throughout his lengthy professional career, he has used various CAD systems, but for the challenges he has to face on a daily basis in his engineering office, Pro/ENGINEER has proven to be the most powerful and most efficient solution.

“Essentially, I am involved with the overall design and detailed design of turbo compressor systems and with their complex components, such as three-dimensional rotors, guide vanes and spiral housings.”
