I'm a mechanical engineer specializing in mold design, tooling, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM), with 12+ years of experience spanning hands-on engineering and plant-floor manufacturing leadership. I run Wittman Designs out of San Diego, where my flagship engagement is a multi-year aerospace tooling program: I led the redesign of a stalled production line, then scaled the new silicone tooling system across 27 legacy molds, generating 8.3x ROI for the client. My background as a Plant Manager and Senior Manufacturing Engineer means I design tools that actually run in production, not just ones that look good in CAD. SolidWorks, GD&T, FDM/SLA prototyping, silicone and composite tooling.

My name is Jordan, I’ve been designing, modeling, and creating products with Autodesk Fusion 360 for over 10 years specializing in prototype products and small scale manufacturing. During that time, I have developed an eye for design that is carefully shaped around the restrictions of real world production. Sometimes it can be difficult to bridge the gap between a designer and the reality of manufacturing, but my experience allows me to create an ideal compromise resulting in retaining the original design while ensuring the best result during production! I’m not only a designer, but a maker and business owner myself! 🛠I have personal experience in small scale production (injection molding & 3D printing) 💸I understand the expense in starting a business 💰I can work around any budget 🔭I will help visualize your product 🔩I know how to design successful 3D printed items for cheap and rapid prototyping I can turn your vision into a reality. Give me a little guidance, some photos or drawings for inspiration and leave the rest up to me. Below are all of the file formats I can produce: - .F3D - .3MF - .IPT - .DWG - .DXF - .FBX - .IGES - .OBJ - .SAT - .SKP - .SMT - .STEP - .STL - .USDZ

I will get your products and ideas to market. Specializing in injection molded electronics enclosures. Waterproof enclosures which meet IP68 standards. I will design and prototype an enclosure, test it for required IP rating, modify the design for the injection molding process and deliver the manufacturing documents. I will also work with your factory to ensure quality. Over 15 years of design for manufacturing experience. I'm a problem solver with a proven track record of successfully bringing products and projects to market. Proficient in Computer-Aided Design (CAD), prototyping, design for manufacturing (DFM), Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) programming, creative direction, and production management. I have a well-rounded skill set, including in-depth knowledge of DFM, hands-on experience, a strong background in sales, and a high degree of creativity. I'm committed to driving operational excellence by actively engaging with all facets and levels of the organization, a results-oriented team player with a focus on achieving success through collaborative efforts. I have a passion for mechanical engineering, 3d modeling, designing mechanical assemblies, and physically building prototypes using a wide-range of manufacturing processes. I'm skilled in DFM for additive, injection molding, machining. and sheet metal. I work in cutting-edge technology in the medical industry but have worked on project in many different industries. I design and prototype on a daily basis and using PLA, SLA, and SLS printing as well as cnc machining for quick turn-around proof-of-concept prototyping. I am experienced in validation testing and moving to production phase. I offer a proven successful design process with project management software taking your product ideas from concept - to prototype - to validation - to DFM pre-production - to production - and through to product launch. I will generate all the required manufacturing documents and assemble a complete product package.

I create and revise SolidWorks parts and assemblies, prepare manufacturing drawings, reconcile BOMs, and deliver STEP, STL, PDF, and native CAD files for suppliers and production teams. I also handle DFM reviews and prototype files. My background covers marine manufacturing, beverage equipment, VIP aircraft interiors, additive manufacturing, and production support. My recent work includes leading engineering for small-boat new builds, retrofits, repairs, and modernization. Upwork projects are handled directly by me. The work I take on here includes: • SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and revisions • Manufacturing drawings using GD&T and ASME Y14.5 practices • STEP, STL, PDF, and native SolidWorks deliverables • BOM cleanup and drawing-to-BOM reconciliation • Design reviews for 3D printing and injection molding • Work instructions, inspection records, and test documentation • Technical file review before supplier or production handoff Past Upwork projects include medical-device part models, CAD drafting, manufacturer STEP files, 3D printing, and parts-standards QA. Outside Upwork, I have supported controlled drawing packages, BOM changes, production issues, supplier coordination, and final acceptance work in marine, aerospace, and manufactured equipment environments. Send the model, drawing, markup, photos, BOM, or supplier comments you have. I will review the source files, point out missing or conflicting information, and confirm the scope before I start.

I help brands take ideas from sketch to factory ready product across apparel, accessories, sporting and other consumer goods. With 20 plus years in design and creative direction and over a decade managing manufacturing and logistics, I work end to end from concept, sampling, and production through delivery. My approach goes beyond the technical side. With a background in creative direction, I focus on simplifying and curating products so they feel authentic, lifestyle driven, and intentional. That balance between creativity and manufacturing discipline is what allows ideas to turn into real products that ship, sell, and hold up in the market, not just concepts that look good on paper. I’ve worked with global brands like Disney, Vans, LA Rams, and Harley-Davidson, as well as on military projects requiring TAA and Berry Amendment compliance. This unique blend of lifestyle and technical expertise helps me support brands from startups to global leaders.
