Hire the Best Mechanical Designers
in Italy

Most CAD models look good on screen but are difficult to build in the shop. I specialize in turning designs into production-ready parts and assemblies that are easy to cut, bend, weld and assemble. Mechanical designer with 20+ years of experience, focused on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and real-world fabrication. I help transform ideas, sketches, or existing CAD models into practical, buildable solutions — reducing cost, simplifying production, and improving reliability. What I do best: • Sheet metal design (laser cutting, bending, welding) • Fixing and improving CAD models for manufacturing • Creating production-ready files (DXF, STEP, shop drawings) • Reverse engineering from photos, sketches, or measurements • Reducing part count and simplifying assembly • Tolerance stack analysis • GD&T tolerances I also have strong experience in: • Mechanical design of automated machinery and assemblies • Plastic part design for injection molding (DFM, draft angles, ribs, bosses, tooling considerations) My approach is always practical: I design parts based on how they will actually be manufactured, assembled, and used — not just how they look in CAD. ✔ 16,000+ hours on Upwork (Top Rated Plus) ✔ 50+ satisfied clients ✔ Strong focus on real-world, buildable engineering solutions If you need someone who understands both design and how things are actually built, I can help. ✅Keywords Mechanical Design Sheet Metal SolidWorks PTC Creo Design for Manufacturing (DFM) CAD Design Product Design Fabrication Laser Cutting Metal Fabrication Welding Bending Manufacturing Drawings DXF STEP Machine Design Assembly Design Reverse Engineering Injection Molding Plastic Design Mold Design

Mechanical designer with years of experience in, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Creo PTC, Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD. I have done projects for various types of machines and lifestyle products. Simulation and design engineer. English, italian and portuguese.

I help R&D teams, startups, and industrial companies turn mechanical concepts into manufacturable, validated products through advanced 3D CAD design and FEA. I am a Mechanical Engineer (MSc, Politecnico di Torino) and certified Project Manager (PMI–CAPM®, PSPO I, PSM I) with solid experience in 3D modelling, simulation, and industrial R&D projects (Certified Solidworks Professional; Autodesk Inventor Professional in Mechanical Design). In the last years I have worked as: ⮞ Mechanical Research Engineer at Gemmate Technologies, contributing to 4 Horizon Europe projects on additive manufacturing and composites within a €16M R&D portfolio (design, simulation, testing support, reporting). ⮞ Mechanical Designer & Project Engineer at Tau Group, leading the mechanical design of the second prototype of a magnet-wire coating production line in a fast-growing startup (Series B €9M). ⮞ CAE Analyst & Mechanical Designer at Nova Progetti, performing FEA (Hypermesh/LS-Dyna) and mechanical design (CATIA V5) for major automotive clients such as Iveco and Stellantis. As a freelance consultant, I offer: Mechanical engineering & design ⮞ 3D CAD modelling and mechanical drafting (SolidWorks, Inventor) ⮞ Assembly design, tolerance and fit, BoM and manufacturing drawings ⮞ Product optimization, design for manufacturing (DFM) and DFMEA ⮞ Support from concept to prototype and industrialization Simulation & analysis ⮞ FEA: linear/non-linear, crash, modal, and thermal analysis ⮞ Tools: Ansys, OpenRadioss, LS-Dyna, Hypermesh ⮞ Design validation, comparison of concepts, weight and cost reduction Project management & technical leadership ⮞ Planning and coordination of technical projects (Agile & predictive) ⮞ Management of multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders ⮞ Technical documentation, reports, and presentations for decision-makers I also teach Autodesk Inventor and ANSYS in an online master program, helping 30+ students gain hands-on skills in 3D design and simulation, which keeps my workflow structured and up to date. If you need a reliable mechanical engineer and project manager to design, simulate, and deliver robust mechanical solutions, send me a brief description of your project and I will propose a clear approach, timeline, and deliverables.

I am a highly skilled mechanical engineer and CAD product designer with extensive experience in automotive engineering. During the past few years, I have acquired my bachelor degree, worked on lots of projects, have been the team leader to the biggest formula student team in the middle east -ASU Racing Team-, and currently near finishing my master's degree in mechanical engineering, specialized in automotive engineering from Politecnico di Milano, one of the highest ranked universities in the world in my field. The skills gained from all of these experiences varies from those on a personal level to ones on the professional career level. Viewing those skills more closely: # Autodesk Inventor # Fusion 360 # Rhino 8 # Solidworks # MATLAB, SIMULINK and MATLAB Sim-Scape # Blender and Keyshot for rendering # 3D scanning, 3D printing and slicing # Microsoft office software. Putting my project management experience to the equation and the result is a very clear vision of targets, goals, timelines and timeframes and always delivering the requested tasks on time with the quality it was intended to have. But the thing that I count to be my highlight is the ability to adapt new working environments, learning new skills and always searching for routs and ways to make my work or the work of my team in the best possible shape. So what are you waiting for! Just send me the work you dream to see reality, get it done in the most pleasing way and let your business grow in front of your eyes.
