Frank Farmer

Frank Farmer, ICEM Surf - 'A' Class Modeller

After the initial one weeks classroom training on ICEM Surf, I was put into a group with Steve Cobert as our mentor. Steve was great at answering all our questions and teaching tips and techniques to boost our knowledge in a progressive way. Steve is a highly experienced ICEM 'A' class surface modeller and has great patience and commitment as a teacher and mentor. The methods learnt from Steve have really stood me in good stead throughout my ICEM career of 8 years.

Adam Kenney

Digital Modeller at Volvo Cars

Steve has a in-depth knowledge of the world of 3D design and creation. Not only the tools themselves but more importantly the theory & methodology that underpins all of these software packages. Most impressively, Steve takes pleasure in imparting that knowledge & experience to his students and peers. No matter how many questions I had (.. I had a lot!) he always took the time to explain everything in detail until he was happy it was understood.

Richard Morgan

A-Class Surface engineer

Steve is a fountain of knowledge with regards Digital modelling of all types from CAS to A-Class. I was taught first principles by Steve over 10 years ago which gave me a base to have a decade in the industry working at a number of OEM’s using ICEM surf. I owe Steve as one of the people for giving me the platform to gain a career in this competitive environment. Steve will provide the experience needed to know how to not just be apart of the industry but one of the better users.
