My name is Jason Giddings. I am the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Giddings Product Development. While my UpWork freelancing profile is new I have decades of experience developing every sort of product imaginable, from concept, through prototype, and on to low or high volume production. My prices may be a bit higher but my experience will significantly cut the time and cost of your project by reducing design iterations. I am a passionate product designer and developer with considerable expertise taking product ideas from industrial designs I create, based on your concepts, all the way to production. I have developed hundreds of products over the last 20 plus years using components made with a range of processes such as complex plastics, metals, castings, printed circuit boards, and just about anything else you can imagine. I have vast experience designing for manufacturability which makes your product look and work better while reducing the cost to produce it. I am an aerospace engineer and certified trainer in the SolidWorks design platform. I can provide expert dynamic mechanical simulation, computational fluid dynamic analysis, and photorealistic digital renderings. I am fluent using a wide range of prototyping techniques and own my own 3D Printing equipment to allow you to get your hands on your product early in the process. I also have overseas tooling and production capabilities that produce extremely high-quality parts at the lowest prices you will find anywhere. I have had considerable experience developing products in many fields and using an unlimited range of materials and material treatments allowing me to bring your dream-product to life in exactly the way you imagined it!

What I Do: Product Design & Prototyping – CAD design, rapid prototyping, and DFM. Tooling & Mold Design – Plastic injection molds, compression molds, die casting, jigs, and fixtures. CNC Programming & Machining Support – 3-axis/ programming, setup optimization, and part accuracy. Manufacturing Consulting – Material selection, cost reduction strategies, and supplier sourcing. NOTE: I have (50) 5 star reviews, and (1) 1 star review, the 1 star review was from a client that had no understanding of what they were doing and ignored every attempt to work with them. Customer satisfaction is very important to me. Unfortunately when a client repeatedly ignores your requests to work together as a team and fails to understand the work involved, there is nothing I can do about that.
