Hire the Best 3D Printing Expert in California

Design Engineer at Applied Aerospace & Defense, specializing in tooling design for lightweight flight hardware for the space & aircraft industry. Expert in mold tool and machining/assembly fixture design. Models are accompanied by comprehensive manufacturing drawings. I am proficient in most CAD software, although I model with Fusion 360 and prepare drawings packages in AutoCAD. I look forward to helping with your project!

I'm a biomedical engineer with a variety of skills spanning electronics, 3D printing, and CAD. I'm looking to help individuals with their initial prototypes so that they can take ideas to the next level.

I’m a former Apple mechanical product design engineer with over a decade of experience across a wide range of engineering disciplines—including mechanical CAD & surfacing, R&D, prototyping, and manufacturing at scale. I’ve led projects from concept through mass production, managed teams, and delivered beautifully engineered solutions under tight timelines and high expectations. My strengths include expert-level 3D modeling, material selection, and design for injection molding and CNC machining. I also have in-house 3D printing capabilities for rapid prototyping, allowing me to iterate quickly and validate designs before you ever cut a tool. I’m a self-starter—motivated, capable, and quick to learn any required skill. I work independently to solve complex problems, and I communicate clearly throughout every phase of a project. If you're looking for Apple-level design thinking and execution, let's bring your product to life.

My name is Jordan, I’ve been designing, modeling, and creating products with Autodesk Fusion 360 for over 10 years specializing in prototype products and small scale manufacturing. During that time, I have developed an eye for design that is carefully shaped around the restrictions of real world production. Sometimes it can be difficult to bridge the gap between a designer and the reality of manufacturing, but my experience allows me to create an ideal compromise resulting in retaining the original design while ensuring the best result during production! I’m not only a designer, but a maker and business owner myself! 🛠I have personal experience in small scale production (injection molding & 3D printing) 💸I understand the expense in starting a business 💰I can work around any budget 🔭I will help visualize your product 🔩I know how to design successful 3D printed items for cheap and rapid prototyping I can turn your vision into a reality. Give me a little guidance, some photos or drawings for inspiration and leave the rest up to me. Below are all of the file formats I can produce: - .F3D - .3MF - .IPT - .DWG - .DXF - .FBX - .IGES - .OBJ - .SAT - .SKP - .SMT - .STEP - .STL - .USDZ

I'm a 3D animator and VFX artist with 15 years of professional experience and training from Gnomon School of Visual Effects. I bring a deep understanding for both the design and technical aspects of 3D animation and VFX pipelines. I'm passionate about continuously exploring new techniques, tools, and approaches that push boundaries and bolster established workflows. I believe in leveraging the strengths of technology to find the right balance between human control and automation, but never losing sight of the human touch that makes many pieces of art so beautiful. My background in the philosophy of language provides a unique ability to communicate complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. I enjoy building a bridge between the client's vision and my expertise. This helps to ensure that the client is kept informed, and that feedback is received and incorporated in a dynamic and effective manner. I prioritize planning and efficiency to tailor the most appropriate and unique pipeline for each project. As a versatile artist, I rely on a diverse range of software to bring my creative visions to life. I utilize Maya's broad 3D capabilities, Nuke for VFX compositing, and After Effects for 2D animation, allowing me to produce a wide range of visual styles, while retaining a high degree of refinement and control. I enhance my workflows with a background in graphic design, illustration, and editing, using tools such as (but not limited to) Photoshop, Illustrator, and Resolve.
