    I am an experienced Product and Industrial Designer with degrees in both Mechanical Design and Welding & Fabrication. I specialize in the design of functional product solutions based on your needs. I have extensive experience creating the solutions needed to not only bring your idea to life, but to author and organize that information for presentation to the right people. I have ten years experience in Product and Industrial Design. In that time I have worked on product solutions for a large range of companies. My work has helped very large companies like John Deere, CNH, Caterpillar, Terex, and Cummins while also being able to service up and coming entrepreneurs like Keowee Smokers and Vivacity Tech. What makes me stand out from my peers is my practical work experience. Before I even drafted my first sketch line I worked for seven years as a fabricator/welder in industries that vary from high tolerance fabrication for packaging equipment to architectural railings. I bring that hands-on experience to my work saving my clients time and money. I work very well as a go-to resource when you need extra horsepower to get your project done. I strive for long lasting relationships with my clients and have excellent written and verbal communication skills. Please view my portfolio at concepttorealitymn.com

    I am a 3D renderer coming up on 7 years of professional experience specializing in photo real product rendering. I got started as a hobbyist nearly 16 years ago and fell in love. I was lucky to be getting interested in a period of time where so much information was becoming readily available, so I had the chance to learn quickly and begin taking small jobs for very early on. After many years of doing it for fun I really couldn't see myself doing anything else professionally. After some time of taking jobs I went to school for computer animation and now am happily working as a full time product animator. I have been both self taught and professionally trained in many different software like Maya, 3DS Max, Houdini, and Blender, the list goes on and the amount of software I have experience in is extensive, but I do have a few favorites. This short list is what you can expect me to use on your projects unless there are explicit needs that warrant the use of something else: Maya; Octane; Substance Designer; Substance Painter; Photoshop; Illustrator; HDR Light Studio; Fusion Studio; and Davinici Resolve.

    I'm a producer of high quality 3D Designs, Renderings & Animations and many satisfied clients have benefited from my expertise and professional output. Here's what I love to hear from my clients!: "I scored Eddie 100% in every category because I have tried many others for this type of work and he is far ahead of anyone I have worked with. I shall go direct to him next time and can't recommend his quality of work and adherence to my suggested revisions and deadlines high enough! Thank you Eddie, excellent work." - Thomas Oates ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Eddie is a true professional from start to finish. He is very receptive to ideas and very talented in collaboration. His 3D imaging and videos are stellar and have given me a lot of confidence in my presentations and my sales emails. It was a pleasure to work with Eddie and I will certainly be back for further work." - Robert Burke -------------------------------------------------- We needed a detailed and quick turnaround batch of renderings done and Eddie immediately stood out of the lot with his high quality of work.He's quite a perfectionist in his approach which makes it a breeze to work with him; the results were just right first try; barely any fine-tuning necessary. What's more, was his willingness to stretch his boundaries to experiment with ideas along the way; his flexibility ended up getting us way better results than expected. If you're looking for a competent and effective modeler and renderer, Eddie is definitely the man of the year! - Yves Brechbill --------------------------------------- It would be a real pleasure to bring your project to life. Feel free to contact me for an obligation free discussion to get the best advice on how to realize your projects in expert 3D. I'd love to hear from you! Regards. Eddie Robbertse.

    Hello, my name is Nathan and I have a variety of skills that I offer on Upwork. My focus is on drone photogrammetry (primarily with Pix4D and ContextCapture), lidar data processing (with Terrascan) and GIS consulting and analysis. So far the largest drone project I have processed is more than 50,000 images over a target area of 51 square kilometers. My workstation is powerful enough to handle any size of a drone mapping project you have (and most projects captured from a manned aircraft as well). I hold a Certified Photogrammetrist rating from the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) as well as a GISP Certification through the GIS Certification Institute. I have been working remotely since the beginning of 2016 for a GIS consulting company in the United States (Resource Management Systems, Ashfield MA); that company specializes in historic research of aerial photographs for legal cases. At that time I also began my Masters in GIS through Penn State University. My studies focused on the applications of drones in mapping. I completed the degree in October, 2022. I also have full-time experience working in utilities mapping both as a drone pilot with a power company and a technician at a Lidar aerial survey firm. Not only can I process photogrammetric imagery and Lidar scans, but I am also FAA Part 107 Certified. I understand the legal restrictions and complications that a drone pilot deals with and can help plan missions to acquire the best data possible. That's me! Feel free to contact me at any time. I look forward to working with you.

    As a Manufacturing Engineer, my duties are to design not only the parts that customers need, but also, help optimize the part design, prototype the design, create detailed blueprints for manufacturing and even design the injection mold tools that will produce the parts in mass. After the design is started, I collect all information to assist with the part designing process. I create the preliminary part design then work with the customers to make any adjustments that may be needed. Through this time I 3d print prototypes if needed to send to the client. We then have a final review to make sure the design is functioning and cost effective for manufacturing processes. Once the design is approved, I can design the injection mold tool if needed. I can help to source manufacturing and offer consulting for any questions through the entire process. For some customers I program the CNC mills and lathes in order to produce every component needed to make the parts or injection mold tools. At my full time job I work doing all of the same things from above, We design parts, and injection molds, build the molds then run them all in house. After the first run we verify all dimensions are within tolerance make any changes needed then start production. I have designed many molds that are being used for 5-10 year+ contracts making automotive parts, aerospace, military and defense, government contracts, medical etc. I have 15 years of experience in 3d modeling, concept design, part design, 3d printing and rapid prototyping, CNC programming and much more. I'm proficient in Solidworks, AutoCAD, Camworks, Fusion 360, Inventor and many other programs used to design parts. I'm taking online classes for Manufacturing Engineering at Sinclair Community College in my spare time. I have the following certifications for SolidWorks and Camworks: Associate- Mechanical Design (CSWA) Associate- Additive Manufacturing (CSWA-AM) Professional- Mechanical Design (CSWP) Professional- Advanced Mold Making (CSWP-AMM) Professional- Advanced Surfacing (CSWP-AS) Professional- Advanced Drawing Tools (CSWP-DT) 14 Camworks certifications 112 SolidWorks certifications (continuing education from 2010-present) If I can help assist in any CAD designs, product designs, CNC programming,3d printing/ prototyping, product rendering, manufacturing, sourcing, reverse engineering, injection mold design, 3d printing or anything else please reach out as I'd love to see if I can help.
