The expensive problems in product development rarely look serious in a render. They appear later, when parts do not assemble correctly, tolerances stack up, seals fail, tooling costs rise, or a promising prototype cannot be manufactured consistently. We are a mechanical design and product development team focused on preventing those problems early. We turn concepts, existing prototypes, sketches, and incomplete CAD into practical, manufacturing-ready products with clear engineering logic behind every important decision. Our work is centered on mechanical products, enclosures, mechanisms, injection-molded plastic parts, sheet-metal products, CNC components, and multi-part assemblies. Depending on the project, we support product architecture, SolidWorks CAD, interface and tolerance design, material and manufacturing-process selection, DFM/DFA, engineering drawings, BOMs, prototype preparation, and targeted FEA when it is needed to validate a real design decision. Recent completed projects include an environmental sensor enclosure developed around an existing PCB, connectors, sealing, and serviceability requirements; a 1-liter PET bottle indexing feature designed around labeling and production constraints; and a technical engineering review of a premium espresso machine to identify mechanical, assembly, service, and manufacturing risks before the next development stage. Clients do not work with us simply to receive a 3D model. They work with us to make better decisions before committing money to prototypes, tooling, or production. We identify missing requirements, weak interfaces, likely failure points, and manufacturing conflicts early, then compare practical options against performance, cost, assembly, maintenance, and supplier capability. Each project has one clear communication path, while the appropriate specialists are involved only where their expertise adds value. This gives you the depth of a coordinated engineering team without the confusion of managing several disconnected freelancers. We are best suited to serious product-development projects where the design must do more than look convincing. It must be buildable, testable, serviceable, and ready for the next real step. Share your current concept, CAD files, sketches, prototype photos, and manufacturing goals. We will help you define the safest and most practical route from the current stage to a production-ready design.

As a Manufacturing Engineer, my duties are to design not only the parts that customers need, but also, help optimize the part design, prototype the design, create detailed blueprints for manufacturing and even design the injection mold tools that will produce the parts in mass. After the design is started, I collect all information to assist with the part designing process. I create the preliminary part design then, work with the customers to make any adjustments that may be needed. Through this time I 3d print prototypes if needed to send to the client. We then have a final review to make sure the design is functioning and cost effective for manufacturing processes. Once the design is approved, I can design the injection mold tool if needed. I can help to source manufacturing and offer consulting for any questions through the entire process. For some customers I program the CNC mills and lathes in order to produce every component needed to make the parts or injection mold tools. At my full time job I work doing all of the same things from above, We design parts, and injection molds, build the molds then run them all in house. After the first run we verify all dimensions are within tolerance make any changes needed then start production. I have designed many molds that are being used for 5-10 year+ contracts making automotive parts, aerospace, military and defense, government contracts, medical etc. I have 15 years of experience in 3d modeling, concept design, part design, 3d printing and rapid prototyping, CNC programming and much more. I'm proficient in Solidworks, AutoCAD, Camworks, Fusion 360, Inventor and many other programs used to design parts. I'm taking online classes for Manufacturing Engineering at Sinclair Community College in my spare time. I have the following certifications for SolidWorks and Camworks: Associate- Mechanical Design (CSWA) Associate- Additive Manufacturing (CSWA-AM) Professional- Mechanical Design (CSWP) Professional- Advanced Mold Making (CSWP-AMM) Professional- Advanced Surfacing (CSWP-AS) Professional- Advanced Drawing Tools (CSWP-DT) 14 Camworks certifications 112 SolidWorks certifications (continuing education from 2010-present) If I can help assist in any CAD designs, product designs, CNC programming,3d printing/ prototyping, product rendering, manufacturing, sourcing, reverse engineering, injection mold design, 3d printing or anything else please reach out as I'd love to see if I can help.

Mechanical and Product design engineer. I've delivered CAD, DFM, and production-ready design across consumer electronics, furniture, automotive mechanisms, injection-molded parts, and industrial equipment. With 8+ years of experience in SolidWorks and industry-standard tools, Iโ€™ve worked with startups and engineering teams to develop consumer products, mechanical systems, and industrial designs from concept to manufacturable output. ๐Ÿ”ง Where I focus: Product design: concept sketches through fully detailed, manufacturable 3D models Mechanical design and CAD modeling: parts, assemblies, mechanisms, enclosures Design for Manufacturing (DFM): injection molding, sheet metal, and machined parts Technical drawings, GD&T, and exploded assembly documentation Reverse engineering: physical part or scan to parametric CAD Rapid prototyping support before tooling commitment Photorealistic rendering for pitch decks and product visualization ๐ŸŽฏ How I work: It usually starts with a short call, what you're building and where it needs to end up. From there we move into design, and I keep you posted as it develops instead of going quiet until it's finished. The process isn't rigid, a napkin sketch and a half-built CAD file need different starting points, so I adjust to wherever you're at. ๐Ÿ›  CAD stack: SolidWorks โ€ข Fusion 360 โ€ข AutoCAD โ€ข KeyShot โ€ข Blender If your product needs to go from concept to something a manufacturer can actually build, send me what you have. I'll tell you what it needs next.

Senior Industrial Designer with 8+ years of experience and a Sofeast factory + lab in Shenzhen behind me. I design IoT enclosures, wearables, consumer electronics, and rugged outdoor products from sketch to injection molding ready CAD, with DFM considered from day one. The Sofeast difference (vs. solo freelancers): Iโ€™m not designing in a vacuum. Every CAD file I deliver is pressure tested against real factory constraints by Sofeastโ€™s mechanical engineers, mold makers, and QA team. That means fewer surprises, smoother tooling feedback, and fewer revision rounds once production starts. What I design: โ€ข IoT devices & wearables - compact enclosures, IP67/IP68 sealing, battery + PCB integration, snag free outdoor geometry, sensor pass throughs โ€ข Consumer electronics - earbuds, speakers, smart home products, beauty devices โ€ข Rugged, outdoor, livestock & medical related devices - drop resistant, UV stable, electrode integration โ€ข Furniture & sports equipment - ergonomic, multi material, fabrication friendly โ€ข Home goods, kitchen, pet products, and broader industrial design projects What I deliver: โ€ข Concept sketches & ideation โ€ข 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Rhinoceros, Fusion 360) - parametric and easy to iterate โ€ข Production ready STEP files, 2D technical drawings, GD&T โ€ข DFM support - wall thickness, draft angles, gating, sink mark risk, material selection (ABS, PC, PP, POM, TPU) โ€ข Photorealistic renders (KeyShot, Vizcom, Midjourney) for pitches, listings, and crowdfunding โ€ข Tooling consultation with direct communication with Chinese mold makers Why this matters when your design reaches manufacturing: โ€ข Wall thickness, draft angle, and gate placement are reviewed BEFORE tooling investment โ€ข Material recommendations are based on real manufacturing processes, not only datasheets โ€ข When factories push back on features or geometry, our bilingual team can communicate directly and solve issues faster Manufacturing experience: Plastic injection molding, sheet metal, CNC wood fabrication, die cut packaging, and more. Stats: 100% Job Success Top Rated Plus $100K+ earned on Upwork 5,299 Sofeast agency hours 179 completed jobs Tools: SolidWorks, Rhinoceros 3D, Fusion 360, KeyShot, Vizcom, Midjourney, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, AI tools Recent work: Smart wearables, ergonomic phone grips, aroma diffusers, earbuds + charging cases, outdoor cooking products, retrofit lighting, and custom consumer electronics enclosures. If you have an idea, a half finished CAD, or a prototype that needs to survive injection molding, Iโ€™d love to take a look.
