I bridge the gap between concept and commercial reality. As a US-based Mechanical Engineer with 6+ years of experience, I engineer shop-ready products that work in the real world and in simulation. I help entrepreneurs and US manufacturers eliminate costly fabrication errors, optimize production cycles, and navigate the complex path from napkin sketch to mass production. Why Clients Choose Me Over Offshore Alternatives: US-Based & Compliant: I operate in your time zone and am fully qualified for IP-sensitive projects. Your intellectual property never leaves US jurisdiction, ensuring maximum security. ⚙️ Shop-Floor Fluency: I speak the language of machinists and mold makers. My designs are built with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) at the forefront, ensuring you don't pay for features that can't be machined. 📉 Capital Efficiency: I use advanced simulation (FEA & CFD) to validate designs virtually, reducing the need for expensive physical prototype iterations. My Core Engineering Solutions: 1. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Assembly The Goal: Reduce unit cost and tooling complexity. The Process: Rigorous analysis of wall thickness, draft angles, and tolerances (GD&T) for Injection Molding, CNC, and Sheet Metal. I deliver files that machine shops accept without questions. 2. Concept-to-Reality Product Design The Goal: Transform vague ideas into functional products. The Process: Full-lifecycle development using Fusion 360. From complex mechanism design to aesthetic enclosures, I create parametric, editable assemblies ready for future iteration. 3. Risk Mitigation via Simulation (FEA) The Goal: Prevent field failures. The Process: Structural Optimization & Analysis to predict failure points before cutting a single piece of material. What My Clients Say: "Sebastian’s attention to detail... reduced total manufacturing time by hours; this project has truly changed my life." - LOBA Corporation "The simulation insights were invaluable, and the detailed presentation made everything clear." - DBS Studio Ready to engineer a product that lasts? Click the green "Invite" button to discuss your project requirements. I typically reply within 60 minutes during US business hours.

I help founders, startups, and product teams turn ideas into manufacturable products through mechanical design, prototyping, DFM, and production support. I am a mechanical engineer with 8+ years of professional experience in product design, mechanical engineering, and prototype fabrication. I received my degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and have worked on projects for organizations including NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, Amazon Robotics, Shark/Ninja, and other commercial product companies. My work is especially valuable when a product needs to move beyond a rough concept or 3D print and become something that can be manufactured reliably at scale. My core specialties include: ✅ Product design and mechanical engineering ✅ Plastic injection molded part design ✅ Design for manufacturing and cost optimization ✅ Sheet metal, machined, welded, and fabricated assemblies ✅ Functional prototyping and iterative testing ✅ CAD, drawings, BOMs, and production documentation ✅ Supplier and manufacturer support Unlike many CAD freelancers, I have hands-on commercial experience developing real injection molded products, production-ready mechanical assemblies, and products of my own that have gone through manufacturing and market launch. I understand what happens after the design phase, including tooling cost, part quality, assembly time, tolerances, material selection, supplier communication, packaging, customer feedback, and cost optimization. I also operate an in-house prototyping shop equipped with CNC mills, lathes, 3D printers, CMM inspection equipment, welders, and fabrication tools. This allows me to build, test, and refine designs quickly instead of stopping at CAD. My approach is simple: build early, test often, and design with manufacturing in mind from the beginning. Typical projects I can help with include: ✅ New product development ✅ Mechanical concept design ✅ Prototype development ✅ Injection molded plastic part design ✅ DFM review and redesign ✅ Metal fabricated product design ✅ Consumer product development ✅ Robotics and mechanisms ✅ Manufacturing drawings and technical documentation ✅ Product cost reduction and production readiness Whether you need help developing a new product from scratch, improving an existing design, preparing a prototype for manufacturing, or solving a mechanical design problem, I can help you move from idea to functional, manufacturable product.
