CAD Automation APIs
Automation software for SolidWorks, Creo and Siemens NX that builds assemblies, generates their technical drawings and produces all CAD/CAM outputs automatically, with no manual work in between.
About
Ugurcan Sonmezoglu is a software developer and manager whose career combines software, engineering, team and project management, and game technology.
He is Assistant General Manager at MicroQBit LLC, a subsidiary of US-based Certusoft Inc. The role covers software delivery, team coordination and client projects in the United States, Europe and Asia, alongside hands-on development of APIs for SolidWorks, Creo and Siemens NX.
He joined Certusoft in 2022 as a software development and design engineer, working on computational geometry and automated 3D modelling for web-based product configurators, and moved into delivery management within a year.
In parallel, he is completing a master's degree in Computer Animation and Game Technologies at Hacettepe University. His projects there include an Unreal Engine 5 puzzle game, a 2D physics engine written from scratch and a full motion-capture pipeline.
