I am a CAD designer and I specialize in creating prototype designs for 3D printing, having completed dozens of projects from simple electronic enclosures to complex machines. In addition to my design skills, I own a 3d printer and am happy to include that as a part of my service. I have professional knowledge and use of Fusion 360 and SolidWorks including being a Certified SolidWorks Professional Designer and Weldments. Considering this I can tackle any project you throw at me with professional communication, quality results and fast turn around times. Looking forward to getting the chance to work with you.

🎯 Turning Your Product Ideas Into Production-Ready Designs I'm a manufacturing engineer who bridges the gap between design and production. With 3+ years of hands-on experience in CNC machine shops, I know what it takes to transform concepts into manufacturable products that actually work on the factory floor. I specialize in creating precise engineering drawings, robust CAD models, and detailed manufacturing procedures that save you time, reduce errors, and keep production running smoothly. Whether you're launching a new product or optimizing an existing manufacturing process, I deliver engineering solutions that make your job easier. ✨ What I Bring to Your Project My unique background combines design expertise with real-world manufacturing knowledge. I've been on the shop floor, managed engineering projects, and worked directly with customers, so I understand both the technical requirements and the business side of getting products made. My core services include: • 2D Engineering Drawings (production-ready prints with GD&T) • Solid CAD Modeling and Assembly Design • Engineering Documentation and SOP Creation • Manufacturing Process Optimization • 3D Printing Solutions and Prototyping • Machine Maintenance Planning and Documentation 🛠️ Technical Expertise Engineering & Design: CAD Design | Mechanical Engineering | 2D Engineering Prints | 3D Modeling | Assembly Design | GD&T Manufacturing: CNC Machining Knowledge | Manufacturing Engineering | Process Documentation | Quality Control | 3D Printing Project Management: Engineering Project Coordination | Customer Service | Technical Communication | Procedure Development 🏆 My Approach to Success I believe great engineering isn't just about technical accuracy—it's about clear communication and practical solutions. Every drawing I create is designed to be easily understood by machinists and manufacturers. Every procedure I write eliminates confusion and prevents costly mistakes. I work best with manufacturers and product designers who value precision, clear documentation, and efficient processes. My goal is to become a reliable extension of your engineering team, delivering quality work that meets deadlines and exceeds expectations. 🌟 Ideal For • Small to large-scale manufacturers needing engineering support • Product designers requiring production-ready CAD models • Companies developing manufacturing documentation and SOPs • Businesses seeking mechanical and manufacturing design expertise 📍 Work Preferences I'm based in the United States and primarily work with US clients, though I'm open to international projects where clear communication is assured. I focus on projects valued at $250+ where I can deliver meaningful impact and build lasting professional relationships. 🚀 Let's Build Something Great Ready to move your project forward with precision engineering and clear documentation?

I am a passionate product designer and engineer that specializes in creating durable and functional 3D prints via CAD. My expertise stems from a strong background in and love for drafting, machining, engineering, and aviation. I pride myself on my obsessive attention to detail and ability to lose myself in projects. Rest assured, I am a devote follower of the “measure twice, cut once” philosophy. I prefer to personally prototype and test each and every design before giving it my stamp of approval to ensure that every single aspect of my work; from the manufacturing to the consume experience is both carefully tailored my client’s vision and reflects my high standard of quality. If you have a great idea for a product I would love to bring it to life for you!
