I've also managed CAD design and drafting on the manufacturer's side, so I know exactly what a production floor, a machine shop, or a molder needs to see on a drawing before they'll trust it enough to quote it. Whether you're a startup with a sketch on a napkin, a business scaling an existing product, or an inventor with an idea you've never told anyone about, I can take it from concept to something a factory can actually build. ๐–๐‡๐€๐“ ๐ˆ ๐ƒ๐Ž: โœ… 3D CAD Modeling (SolidWorks) - Clean, parametric, built to be manufactured, not just rendered โœ… Product Design for New Ideas - Sketches, references, or a rough description turned into CAD โœ… Design for Manufacturing (DFM) - Catching the mistakes before they cost you a bad mold or a rejected batch โœ… 2D Technical Drawings - GD&T, tolerances, BOMs, weld callouts, ready for any shop floor โœ… Sheet Metal Design - Flat patterns, production drawings, DXF for laser/CNC โœ… Prototyping Support - Print-ready STEP/STL files for 3D printing or first-run testing โœ… Reverse Engineering - Turning an existing part or physical sample into full CAD โœ… CAD Design & Drafting Management - I can run this workflow for manufacturers too, not just individual projects WHY WORK WITH ME Most freelancers hand you a pretty file. I hand you a file that survives contact with a real manufacturer, because I've sat on that side of the table too. I ask the questions a machinist or molder would ask before you ever send it out for quotes โ€” so you're not the one finding out something's wrong after you've paid for tooling. ๐‡๐Ž๐– ๐ˆ ๐–๐Ž๐‘๐Š: Send me your idea, a sketch, a photo, a reference product, or just a description. I'll scope it, flag any manufacturing risks early, and walk you through the process from first model to final drawing set. Clear communication, real files (native SolidWorks + STEP/PDF), and no surprises at the end. Have a product idea sitting on your phone or a napkin somewhere? Send me a message. let's find out what it takes to actually build it.

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.

๐ŸŽฏ Turning Your Product Ideas Into Production-Ready Designs I'm a manufacturing engineer who bridges the gap between design and production. With 3+ years of hands-on experience in CNC machine shops, I know what it takes to transform concepts into manufacturable products that actually work on the factory floor. I specialize in creating precise engineering drawings, robust CAD models, and detailed manufacturing procedures that save you time, reduce errors, and keep production running smoothly. Whether you're launching a new product or optimizing an existing manufacturing process, I deliver engineering solutions that make your job easier. โœจ What I Bring to Your Project My unique background combines design expertise with real-world manufacturing knowledge. I've been on the shop floor, managed engineering projects, and worked directly with customers, so I understand both the technical requirements and the business side of getting products made. My core services include: โ€ข 2D Engineering Drawings (production-ready prints with GD&T) โ€ข Solid CAD Modeling and Assembly Design โ€ข Engineering Documentation and SOP Creation โ€ข Manufacturing Process Optimization โ€ข 3D Printing Solutions and Prototyping โ€ข Machine Maintenance Planning and Documentation ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Technical Expertise Engineering & Design: CAD Design | Mechanical Engineering | 2D Engineering Prints | 3D Modeling | Assembly Design | GD&T Manufacturing: CNC Machining Knowledge | Manufacturing Engineering | Process Documentation | Quality Control | 3D Printing Project Management: Engineering Project Coordination | Customer Service | Technical Communication | Procedure Development ๐Ÿ† My Approach to Success I believe great engineering isn't just about technical accuracyโ€”it's about clear communication and practical solutions. Every drawing I create is designed to be easily understood by machinists and manufacturers. Every procedure I write eliminates confusion and prevents costly mistakes. I work best with manufacturers and product designers who value precision, clear documentation, and efficient processes. My goal is to become a reliable extension of your engineering team, delivering quality work that meets deadlines and exceeds expectations. ๐ŸŒŸ Ideal For โ€ข Small to large-scale manufacturers needing engineering support โ€ข Product designers requiring production-ready CAD models โ€ข Companies developing manufacturing documentation and SOPs โ€ข Businesses seeking mechanical and manufacturing design expertise ๐Ÿ“ Work Preferences I'm based in the United States and primarily work with US clients, though I'm open to international projects where clear communication is assured. I focus on projects valued at $250+ where I can deliver meaningful impact and build lasting professional relationships. ๐Ÿš€ Let's Build Something Great Ready to move your project forward with precision engineering and clear documentation? Send me a message with your project details, and let's discuss how I can help you achieve your manufacturing goals. Looking forward to collaborating with you!
