Hi all, Just wanted to share my recommendation for Vijay Paul of DotSan ltd. On two occasions Vijay has helped me out with complex and precise CAD work, and both times he has delivered excellent results quickly. He’s a pleasure to work with – one of those people I’m extremely happy to have in my address book. So – if you have CAD work, especially challenging jobs (even if you think it’s not possible!) you might want to get in touch with Vijay through www.dotsan.com – there’s a good chance he’ll be able to help you.

Dotsan did an amazing job for me producing the CAD drawings for our unusual buses in Nottingham England during the 1970s. He was patient, understanding and very helpful. I told him what I wanted and he did exactly that. What he did for me was amazing and the result is better than I expected. Daryl Hemsell
In addressing my needs as a client, very closely and at every stage of the development and design process, Dotsan successfully captured the essence of my 2D character work. It was a pleasure working with Dotsan, they are consumate professionals, and I look forward to working with them again on future collaborations! Culprit Art

I model NZ railway at scale 1:120 on N guage track.
A couple of years ago I wanted models made that didnt exist.I had heard about 3Dprinting but knew nothing about it.After surfing the net(for hours!)I found a designer.I emailed Vijay with what I thought was an oddball request,not knowing if he would be interested in such a project.Well he was.
Now considering I live on the opposite side of the world all our commuication is via email,with questions and answers,plans,drawings etc firing back and forth.When we started I wasnt very computer savvy so found it hard trying to put the ideas in my head into emails for a total stranger to workout.But Vijay has a knack of reading between the lines and asking the right questions…..and very patient!!Nothing seems to be a problem for this fella.
About 18mnths ago I was lucky enough to actually meet Vijay.That was great to put a face to all the emails and have a beer and chat about future projects.
We are still working together,Thanks Vijay.
Cheers
Stu
Thanks Stu, it’s been a pleasure working with you, not only developing the projects but also getting to know little bits of your day job and the weather down under.
