I design real products that are made, tested and sold — not just nice-looking renders. My background is product design, CAD, practical manufacturing and furniture production. I run Triformia, a UK-based 3D printing and product development business, where I design, manufacture and sell my own products across Amazon, Shopify and other platforms. Before that, I also worked heavily in furniture design and production, including taking products from concept through to manufacture, improving production methods, working around material constraints, and designing with real-world assembly, strength and finish in mind. That means I understand the full process: idea, CAD, prototype, test, manufacture, customer feedback and improvement. I specialise in Autodesk Fusion 360 and design mainly for FDM 3D printing, with a strong focus on clean, functional and production-ready models. I can take a rough sketch, photo, basic idea or problem and turn it into a usable product that is built properly from the start. What I can help with: Product design from concept to prototype Fusion 360 CAD modelling 3D printable STL and STEP files Functional parts and mechanisms Furniture/product design for manufacture Design for FDM printing: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU Improving or fixing existing STL files Tolerances, wall thickness, print orientation and assembly fit Product development advice for manufacturing and selling Simple, practical designs that are ready for real-world use A lot of designers can make something look good on screen. My strength is designing things that can actually be manufactured, assembled, handled, sold and used. I have hands-on experience with a working print farm, furniture production, real customer products, Amazon listings, product testing and repeatable small-batch manufacturing. So when I design something, I’m already thinking about strength, print time, material choice, support reduction, failure points, ease of assembly, finish quality and whether it makes sense commercially. If you need someone who can turn an idea into a proper manufacturable product, that is where I add value.

Engineering is easy to describe when everything works on paper. The real challenge begins when a concept must survive manufacturing constraints, real-world operating conditions, cost limitations, assembly realities, and long-term performance expectations. Our team specializes in transforming complex engineering concepts into practical, manufacturable, and production-oriented solutions across multiple industries. Over the years, we have worked on projects involving CAD development, CFD and FEA analysis, enclosure and mechanism design, HVAC systems, injection molding, industrial automation, fluid systems, and manufacturable product engineering for both prototype and production-stage applications. Our workflow is structured around specialized engineering coordination rather than a one-person approach. Depending on the scope of the project, different engineering specialists may be involved during various stages such as concept development, simulation, DFM review, manufacturing preparation, prototyping, and technical validation. This allows each part of the project to be handled by the most suitable technical expert while maintaining organized communication and project continuity throughout the process. We place strong emphasis not only on engineering performance, but also on real manufacturability, assembly feasibility, supplier compatibility, serviceability, and long-term reliability. Many engineering concepts look promising in CAD renders or simulations but become difficult, expensive, or unstable once they reach production. Our goal is to reduce those risks early in the development process. In addition to engineering and simulation support, we also work closely with manufacturing workflows and production-oriented decision making. This includes design optimization for CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, assembly integration, tolerance considerations, and production preparation depending on the project requirements. Our approach is direct, detail-oriented, and focused on solving engineering problems in a realistic and structured way rather than overcomplicating the process with unnecessary theory or generic outputs. If you are looking for a team that can support your project from concept development to engineering execution with a practical and production-focused mindset, we would be happy to discuss your project further.
