I am adaptable, responsive, and committed to delivering results that align with your goals. Please do not hesitate to get in touch. I'd be happy to schedule a video or audio call to discuss your project in more detail.

Hi, I’m Landon 👋 I help inventors, startups, and businesses turn ideas into real products through CAD design, prototyping, manufacturing, electronics integration, and 3D printing. Unlike many CAD freelancers, my background comes from years of hands-on work across manufacturing, machining, fabrication, electronics repair, and mechanical systems. That experience allows me to design products that not only look good on screen but are practical to build, assemble, test, and manufacture in the real world. Whether you’re starting with a sketch, refining an existing concept, reverse engineering a part, or developing a product for production, I can help with: • Product Design & Development • Shapr3D CAD Modeling & Training • Functional Prototypes • 3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering • FDM & MSLA 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing • Electronics Enclosures & Integrated Assemblies • Mechanical Design & Custom Mechanisms • Manufacturing-Ready Files: STEP, STL, DXF • Design for Manufacturing • Technical Renderings & Presentations My projects have included consumer products, illuminated signs, industrial equipment, drone components, automotive accessories, custom electronics, tooling, and production-ready assemblies. With in-house 3D printing and scanning, I can prototype parts, check fitment, and refine designs throughout the process. This helps catch problems early, reduce development time, and create designs that are ready for the next step. Why work with me? ✅ Real-world manufacturing and fabrication experience ✅ Electronics, mechanical, and product development knowledge ✅ Hands-on prototyping, 3D scanning, and testing capability ✅ Fast communication and practical problem-solving ✅ Top-rated freelancer with a 100% Job Success Score If you need more than just CAD work and want someone who understands how products are actually built, I’d be happy to help bring your idea to life.

I'm an experienced 3D CAD modeler and CNC programmer with over 20 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, specializing in the aviation and industrial automation industries. My experience spans a range of roles, from aircraft structures mechanic to machinist, and I’ve been a MasterCam certified CNC programmer and CAD designer since 2011. Over the course of my career, I’ve contributed to production environments, R&D, prototyping, proof of concept, customer design reviews, and product testing and improvement. I offer a wide range of services tailored to meet your manufacturing needs, including: • 3D Modeling & Design: I create detailed, high-quality 3D models for various applications, including manufacturing, prototyping, 3D printing, and sheet metal parts. • CNC Programming: I specialize in programming for 3-axis G-code CNC machines, creating toolpaths, and ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. • 2D Design Files: I provide precise .dxf files for laser cutting, water jet, or plasma cutting. • 3D Printing: I can design models optimized for 3D printing with detailed attention to material properties and printability. • Sheet Metal Design & Flat Patterns: I extract accurate flat patterns from 3D models, factoring in proper bend allowances to guarantee precise and high-quality sheet metal parts. Whether you’re in need of 3D modeling, CNC programming or 2D files, I have the skills and experience to help bring your projects to life. I am committed to delivering high-quality work, clear communication, and timely project completion. If you’re looking for a professional with a strong manufacturing background to take your project to the next level, I would love to work with you.
