He delivered top notch work on his responsibilities on this project, and was both professional and pleasant to communicate and deal with. Moreover, Mattia was forthcoming and resourceful helping us to overcome a major roadblock which was outside the scope of his direct responsibilities - and we ended up going with Mattia's solution and are glad we did. We would (and actually will) rehire Mattia without hesitation for future related work." 🙋I'm eager in working with you providing professional solutions to your engineering challenges, you will CONSTANTLY receive updates on the project status, feedbacks and new ideas.

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.

Consulting available for: ✅ PARAMETRIC CAD MODELLING ✅ MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ✅ PRODUCT DESIGN 🚫 FREE CONSULTATION 🚫 PROJECTS WITHOUT BRIEF 🚫 NDA SIGNATURE WITHOUT BRIEF IMMEDIATE SENDING 🚫No CHAT ONLY based communication available with fixed price contract 🇮🇹 Biography 🇮🇹 I have been working in a sport cars factory for a long time, the last 3 years as chief design engineer. Nowadays I run my own business as freelancer, with my own studio and equipment. I actually have more than ten years of experience in CAD surfacing and 3D parametric modelling, prototyping and designing aesthetics components with a spotless surface, and molds for manufacturing. I am even a natural born hand sketcher: Take a look at my portfolio at the bottom of this page. Hiring me, the client kills two birds with one stone. Do you want more? do not hesitate to reach out! The list below shows what I can manage ✔Class A Surfacing (parametric) ✔Reverse Engineering (from points cloud or any other 3d Scanning) ✔Style Service and Concept Design ✔Car Body Design or Tuning ✔Product Design for Plastic or Composite materials ✔Automotive Consulting, Feasibility Study, Costing and more ✔Mold Design ✔3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping Consulting ✔Professional Photo - Rendering ✔CAD Technical Drawings, Data Sheets, Documents for Manufacturing (ISO UNI ANSI) ✔Technical language translation from English to Italian Please Note: In my honest opinion, a real pro can operate nowhere but in his working field. Do not trust people who say to be able to design anything at professional level.🤬🤬🤬 Save your money!

I help to validate structural behavior through Finite Element Method simulation — from linear static analysis to complex dynamic and inverse problems. My background combines hands-on FEM expertise (Abaqus) with a research focus on inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM): reconstructing structural response from sensor data, including work on structures under blast loading conditions. What I can help with: - FEM model setup and validation (static, dynamic, modal analysis) - Nonlinear and advanced structural simulations in Abaqus - Post-processing and interpretation of simulation results - Inverse/data-driven structural analysis from sensor measurements Furthemore, I am proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word), workflow automation and AI implementation. I can speak fluently both Italian and English.
