Hi, I'm Salvador.
I help companies, startups, and inventors transform ideas into manufacturable products.
Every design I create is developed with engineering in mind—not just appearance. I focus on functionality, manufacturability, cost optimization, and reliability from the very beginning.
With over 6 years of experience, I can support your project from concept to production using SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360, and AutoCAD.
Whether you need a 3D model, a complete mechanical assembly, manufacturing drawings, FEA simulations, CNC programming, or realistic product renderings, I can help.
My goal is simple: deliver designs that work in the workshop, not only on the screen.

NPDP-Certified Principal Mechanical Engineer | 10+ Years | 40+ Products Shipped. I de-risk hardware launches by ensuring your product strategy is well defined and your CAD is factory-ready for manufacturing processes including injection molding, 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting before you commit to tooling, protecting you from the $50,000 mistakes that kill startups.
A successful product is not just a good CAD model, it is a chain of sound engineering decisions from feasibility through first production. I translate your idea into a clear development roadmap, identify technical and manufacturing risks early, and make the trade-offs between performance, cost, manufacturability, and time to market visible before they become expensive problems. You get an engineering partner who communicates clearly, works to defined milestones, and remains accountable for quality from concept through production handoff.
As a Certified New Product Development Professional (NPDP), I help founders and product teams move from concept sketch to manufacturable CAD to market without costly rework. I use AI-augmented engineering workflows alongside SolidWorks and Onshape to accelerate design cycles, improve engineering decisions, and reduce iteration time.
I am a Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) with 10+ years of experience in mechanical design and engineering, industrial product design, physical product development, and digital manufacturing. I have delivered 40+ successful projects, from consumer products and custom machines to electromechanical systems and prototypes now scaled into international markets.
CORE STRENGTHS
• Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) and GD&T to reduce redesign, tooling, and production costs
• CAD-to-prototype-to-production workflows that shorten time to market
• Cross-functional collaboration and integration across electrical engineering, embedded systems, and AI-model development teams
• AI-augmented product development for faster iteration and stronger engineering accuracy
MANUFACTURING & PRODUCTION EXPERTISE
• Injection Molding: Designing complex plastic enclosures with optimized draft angles, ribs, and uniform wall thickness to reduce sink marks, warping, and tooling rework.
• 3D Printing: Using additive manufacturing for rapid prototypes and iterations, as well as commercialized end-use solutions and products already in the market.
• Sheet Metal Design: Developing production-ready DXF files and flat patterns for laser cutting, bending, welding, and assembly.
• Sand Casting & Die Casting: Optimizing part geometry for proper metal flow and de-risking the transition from prototype-stage work to heavy-duty industrial casting.
• CNC Machining: Applying precise GD&T and tolerance strategy to ensure parts fit correctly the first time, reducing machining hours, scrap, and rework.
Whether you are developing an innovative industrial solution, ergonomic consumer product, medical-device component, or complex mechanical system, I turn ideas into clear, executable designs ready for prototyping, real-world testing, and scalable manufacturing.
When you work with me, you can expect a transparent, milestone-driven process: clear communication from day one, rapid concept iterations, and deliverables ready for prototyping or direct manufacturing. I provide detailed CAD files, DFM insights, and structured documentation, so you are not just getting a design; you are getting a production-ready solution that reduces risk, saves cost, and accelerates your path to market.
