I've heard the term 'technical surfacing' describe different things over the years and am struggling to define it appropriately. Maybe there is a better term for what I'm looking to describe different from surfacing technician?

I heard one product manager on the West coast request a need for technical surfacing people/ training however he was interested in simply a surfacing expert. Comments?

It seams to me technical surfacing is apposed to form surfacing in that tooling engineers may need surfaces to create special cuts using surface to accomplish a specific task.

Maybe there are many different types of Surfacing users.  Surfacing for non form engineers  1 Surface offsets for creating progressive electrodes 2 surface sweeps to create draft when draft feature is not working or appropriate. 3 cuts up to surface

Maybe technical surfacing is they can do it all.

Can anyone comment?
