Where’s Our Good Friend Jeremy?

Posted on August 11, 2014 by in What's New

Many of you know our good friend Jeremy Luchini from SolidWorks software.  We’ve worked with SolidWorks and have known Jeremy for more than 10 years.  There isn’t a Factory Five design that survives without SolidWorks revs.

Recently (big announcement), Jeremy left SolidWorks to begin a full-time independent design career.  Factory Five is still using SolidWorks software, and now we will be working with Jeremy and his new company Luchini Designs on some fun new projects.

Jeremy decided to take a break between SolidWorks and his new company.  He started off in Florida with a tour of the Blue Angels facility, and he recently sent us photos from a motor cycle trip to Indianapolis where he watched the Moto GP races and met with automotive and motorcycle design vendors.  Jeremy met with Matt from the revived National Motorcycles brand (cool back story to that), and will be back in New England soon.  Here are some pictures from his road trip.
