Hi, I’m Thomas — a SolidWorks-focused 3D CAD designer who enjoys helping clients turn real-world ideas into usable CAD geometry. I love taking sketches, concepts, and rough drawings and turning them into clean, parametric SolidWorks models that are ready for prototyping, 3D printing, or further refinement. Even if your concept is just a few scribbles on paper, I’ll take the time to understand your intent and work with you to bring it to life. What you can expect from me: 🔹 Clear communication — I’ll check in if anything is unclear 🔹 Careful, organized SolidWorks models — not quick mesh sketches 🔹 STL/STEP exports if you’re aiming for printing or manufacturing 🔹 A commitment to quality — I want you to be confident in the work you receive I’m building my Upwork presence and genuinely enjoy projects where I can help clients refine their ideas. I approach every project with care and aim to go above and beyond expectations, not just to finish a task. 📌 Whether you're refining a prototype or need production-ready CAD, let’s work together and build something great.

Hello and welcome! Looking for a highly skilled mechanical engineer? Someone who has a keen eye for detail and demonstrates a strong knowledgeable background? Not sure which expert to pick because we all sound the same? I agree, with so many Mechanical Design Engineers it's hard to confidently select the exact right fit for your project. Allow me to offer a thought for your consideration; in a virtual sea of engineers that robotically follow the canned recipe for presenting their expertise, perhaps you have felt a sense of comfort from reading a more creative and personal opening. If that is you, please continue. Relevant Experience: ○16+ years of SolidWorks as a 3D CAD Designer ○16+ years developing detailed technical drawings ○16+ years bringing designs to life; from concept to prototype to product My expertise includes all or any part of the process of capturing your concept and transforming it into a product. I am a skilled 3D mechanical designer. I have experience working for individuals with an innovative idea, to the highly regulated aerospace, energy and industrial sectors. I have designed an industrial oven for use in an assembly line to modifying a scan of a human heart to be a 3D printed pencil holder as a gift for a doctor. I love variety. Contact me today so we can schedule a quick introductory meeting to determine if I am the right fit for you and your project. Thank you, Nate Bailey
