    Hi, I’m Josh Pappas, a full-time Design Engineer at Paradigm Manufacturing with a focus on mechanical design, CAD modeling, and prototyping. I specialize in SolidWorks and Fusion 360, and have a proven track record of delivering accurate, production-ready models for real-world applications. I hold a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and am a Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP). I also bring extensive hands-on experience with a variety of 3D printing technologies, including FDM and resin-based systems, for both prototyping and functional parts. My expertise covers everything from custom part design and complex assemblies to fully detailed engineering drawings with GD&T. I also offer reverse engineering services, using precision measurements and modeling techniques to recreate parts for repair, modification, or digital archiving. Past projects include autonomous delivery robots, RC vehicles, and CNC-machined components. My design approach is grounded in DFM principles, simulation-based verification, and practical manufacturing knowledge. I’m currently taking on select freelance projects where I can provide high-quality CAD design, 3D printing consultation, and mechanical engineering support. If you’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented designer with real industry experience, I’d be glad to work with you.

    Hi, I’m Mike — a mechanical engineer with 30+ years of experience in electro-mechanical design, manufacturing support, and quality engineering. I’m a CSWP-certified SolidWorks expert, holder of four patents, and someone who’s happiest when I’m building something that works — and works well. At heart, I’m not just an engineer. I’m a maker and creative problem-solver — someone who’s spent a career turning ideas into reality through thoughtful design, precise modeling, and deep mechanical understanding. What I Do Best If you’re looking for a CAD expert who not only understands quality and manufacturability, but also thinks like a maker and a storyteller, I can help: • SolidWorks 3D Modeling & Assemblies Clean, fully parametric modeling for complex mechanical and electro-mechanical parts • Manufacturing-Ready Design Decades of hands-on experience designing for machining, fabrication, and assembly • Photorealistic Renders & Exploded Views Visual assets that help illuminate ideas, pitch prototypes, or enhance documentation • Design for Function and Finish Turning ideas into functional, real-world parts — quality designs built to last What It’s Like to Work With Me I’m both a craftsman and a collaborator. I work best with people who value integrity, creativity, and precision. I communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and always keep your end goals in focus — whether that’s aesthetics, manufacturability, or speed to market. • I thrive on creative freedom and bring ideas to life with care and precision • I work well independently, but love collaborating in an environment of mutual trust and shared vision • I care about the details — because every bolt, bracket, and bevel tells part of the story A Creative Craftsman at Heart Some of my favorite projects have blurred the line between engineering and storytelling: • I’ve hand-built high-detail costume replicas as part of a national costuming group — applying the same standards of precision and finish that I bring to industrial design • I’ve produced and edited videos for youth programs, combining practical effects, design, and storytelling to serve a greater message • I enjoy work that’s not just functional — but delightful, expressive, and imaginative. The kind where engineering meets wonder Based in Phoenix, Working with Clients Nationwide I’m based in Arizona and available for remote freelance projects across time zones. Whether you’re a startup team, creative studio, or independent builder, I bring both technical skill and a maker’s mindset to help bring your ideas to life. Let’s Build Something Different If you’re looking for an experienced designer with deep engineering roots and a creative soul, I’d love to hear about your project — whether it’s practical, playful, or a little of both.
