๐Ÿ”ฉ From Sketch to Validated Part โ€” CAD, Carbon Fiber & Simulation I design parts that are built to perform โ€” whether in aluminum, steel, or carbon fiber reinforced polymer. With a Master's in Automotive Engineering (GPA 1.49) and hands-on experience from motorsport, aerospace, and industry, I bring the full development chain to your project: concept, CAD, material selection, layup design, and FEM validation. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽ๏ธ Carbon Fiber โ€” From Layup to Laminate Design โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ My carbon fiber expertise goes beyond CAD. As department lead for the monocoque at Formula Student, I was responsible for the full manufacturing process โ€” from hand layup and RTM to autoclave-cured prepregs. I know the practical differences between woven fabrics, UD tapes, non-crimp fabrics (NCF), and advanced materials like Textreme, and how those choices affect stiffness, weight, and producibility. At Carbon TT, I then acquired the engineering tools to back this up analytically โ€” calculating and sizing CFRP structures under real load cases, accounting for anisotropic behavior, failure criteria, and manufacturing constraints. What this means for you: I can design your carbon fiber part and tell you how to build it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš™๏ธ CAD โ€” Clean, Manufacturable, Ready to Build โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I model in CATIA V5 and Autodesk Fusion 360, with Design for Manufacturing (DfM) as a guiding principle throughout. Surfaces, assemblies, parametric models โ€” delivered clean and ready for 3D printing, CNC, or tooling. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ FEM โ€” Validate Before You Prototype โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ For projects that require structural confidence, I offer FEM validation as an integrated service: โ€ข Static & modal analysis (CATIA V5 GSD, PrePoMax/CalculiX) โ€ข Nonlinear & crash simulation (LS-DYNA) โ€ข Topology optimization for weight-efficient structures (Altair Inspire) This is the same toolchain used by OEMs and aerospace suppliers โ€” now available for your freelance project. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœ… What You Can Expect โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ€ข Focused, independent execution โ€” you define the requirements, I deliver the result โ€ข Engineering judgment, not just modeling: DfM, material selection, and structural thinking built in โ€ข Clear documentation and technical drawings on request โ€ข Fast turnaround with reliable communication in English, German, or Spanish ๐Ÿš€ Rising Talent | Available Now Let's build something that holds up โ€” in every sense.

Do you need a design that works in the real world, not just on a computer screen? I am a Senior Mechanical Engineer with 10 years of experience taking products from rough sketches to mass manufacturing. Based in Berlin, Germany, I offer a unique advantage: I run my own prototyping lab (MadeBy3DPrinting). This means I don't just deliver CAD files; I can validate fit, function, and ergonomics physically before you commit to expensive tooling. My Core Services: Product Design: Transforming concepts into fully defined 3D models. Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Optimizing parts for Injection Molding, CNC, and Sheet Metal to reduce costs and defects. Prototyping: Producing functional prototypes (FDM) in-house with rapid shipping within Europe. Technical Documentation: Creation of 2D drawings, BOMs, and STEP files for factories. My Toolkit: SolidWorks, Creo Parametric, AutoCAD 3D Printing (FDM). I hold a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. I combine academic precision with practical, hands-on workshop experience.
