Terry Oyama

Terry is an industrial product designer with decades of experience and some significant hit product designs to his credit. Probably the most famous is his involvement in the design of the enclosure for the original Apple Macintosh Computer (a revolutionary product in nearly every way when it was released in 1984). Terry’s name was immortalized - molded inside the case of every first generation Mac along with others on the team that contributed significantly to its development (including Steve Jobs).

Terry works mostly in SolidWorks and Rhino now. However, he and his friends Keith Reynolds and Glen Keith (also modo group members) started learning modo recently as a tool for creating organic shapes more easily and for rapid development of product design concepts. Terry is also an artist and has ambitions of using modo to produce fine art.

Terry is one of the 8 founding members of the san diego modo user group. He attended the first meeting and has not missed any of our group functions since.

Terry produced the images below in SolidWorks, PhotoWorks, Rhino, Flamingo and 3ds Max:
