Most mechanical designs fail not in CAD, but in manufacturing.
I’m a mechanical engineer who designs tooling and production systems that have been fabricated, tested, and run on real machines — including roll-forming tooling, sheet-metal stamping dies, and CNC-manufactured components.
My value is not just modeling parts, but anticipating manufacturing failure modes: alignment issues, tolerance stack-ups, material behavior, setup constraints, and shop-floor realities that don’t show up on a screen.
What I typically work on:
• Roll forming tooling and sheet-metal production systems
• Manufacturing tooling, jigs, fixtures, and dies
• Reverse engineering for existing machines or tooling
• Production-ready CAD with fabrication drawings
I work primarily in Fusion 360, and I bring hands-on experience with CNC machining (mill, lathe, laser), prototyping, and manufacturing optimization (DFM).
I’m comfortable working under NDAs, doing live design sessions, and sharing screen recordings when needed. Clients work with me when failure is expensive and timelines matter.
If you need designs that look good and survive the shop floor, we should talk.

Hello all, you want to bring to life this great idea you have to kickstarter, to amazon or simply to the worldwide market but you dont know how to start or process needed for design and manufacturing real parts for device or product?, i am the man who you need, i can help you during all the process from idea to 3d model design, to prorotype and manufacturing.
I am Alejandro Rodriguez, a Mechanical Engineer with 16 years experience in design and developing new products, devices, and machines for diverse companies and purposes. I had wide knowledge in diverse manufacturing processes for making these devices in mass production or prototype, mastering the plastic injection molding design and manufacturing and also 3d printing for building prototypes, working as team with 3D hubs, Xometry, Protolabs, etc.
Wide knowledge in plastic parts housings develop and electronic devices design, assembly, and prototype manufacturing, medical devices, electronic consumer products, toys, machines new concepts, mechanisms, etc.
Modern and fresh-looking enclosures and organic surfaces modeling for products to look very advanced and high tech applied, my specialization is the preparation of product from the conceptual stage to production including the creation of parts, assemblies, mechanical simulation, bills of materials and rendering of products, static renderings, and animations and finally fully working prototypes of the devices or i can guide you to the mass production process wich i also had manufacturing experience for more than 18 years.

Hello, Clients.
Versatile Industrial Engineer excelling across electrical, electronics, and mechanical domains, with PLC mastery as my secret weapon for automation revolutions. I design and program powerhouse PLC systems on Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley, and Modicon—igniting production lines by fusing electrical panels, electronic sensors, and mechanical drives into seamless, high-speed operations for manufacturing and energy sectors. Hands-on wizardry in troubleshooting circuits, integrating HMI/SCADA, and optimizing ladder logic or FBD code slashes downtime by 40% and supercharges throughput. My mechanical engineering edge shines in custom machinery builds, while electrical/electronics prowess ensures robust power distribution and instrumentation under IEC 61131-3 standards. Leading Industry 4.0 transformations, I deliver vivid results: smarter factories that predict failures, cut costs, and run like clockwork. Ready to electrify your industrial challenges.
Looking forward to working with you.
Thanks.

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with 10+ years of experience in the design of custom enclosures, cabinets, containers, and racks in the metal industry.
I clear your CAD project delays and eliminate shop-floor rework with zero recruitment or software overhead in your internal staffing.
▶THE ENGINEERING BOTTLENECK
I step in to resolve the tolerancing and DFMA issues that cause fabricator rework and scrap. I'll give you a complete production-ready package without increasing your internal staff or a recruitment timeline.
During the design phase, I'll reduce the ECO (Engineering Change Order) cycles and avoid vendor rework charges with custom DFM for tooling and shop floor fabrication techniques and capacities.
With the use of internal design automation tools (AI-powered), I'll speed up the fabrication package export, getting safe and accurate manufacturing files in a short time.
▶WHAT CLIENT SAYS & CASE STUDIES
💥"Luis was great to work with. He made sure he understood the project thoroughly before starting. During the process he gave thoughtful recommendations that made the finished product better. He provided complete materials and explanations at each milestone and was always open to suggestions and further discussions. I would not hesitate to use his services on future projects." - Logistics and Planning Event Manager.
💥Shipping Container Design - Designing custom localized non-welded Hooks to completely bypass structural inspection delays during transport.
💥"Luis' quality of work and level of detail and thoroughness was excellent - exactly what is needed for CAD activity. Using his experience and greater skill level, He was able to add unexpected detail and value to the drawings that our organization could not." - Engineering Manager, SKF USA.
▶CORE SERVICES
✅Custom Enclosure Engineering: NEMA/IP-rated housings, Weatherproof, Ingress Protection Design (IP) electronic cabinets, cabinets, and racks engineered against your actual environmental and access requirements, so the design passes fabrication review the first time instead of bouncing back for rework.
✅Weldments & Structural Framing: Car racks conversions.
✅Shipping Container Designs: Footprints to match EU and US shipping pallets, Inspection bypass for forklift features and hoisting.
✅Sheet Metal & Flat Pattern Design: Bend allowances, laser layouts, and flat patterns dialed in to your fabricator's tooling, cutting factory cycle time and scrap from bad K-factors, CNC-ready DXF flat patterns, 2D shop drawings, and Technical Bill of Materials (BOM).
✅DFMA Review: I flag and fix the tolerance stack-ups, weld access issues, and assembly conflicts that generate fabricator RFIs before the package ever leaves my desk.
✅Fabrication-Ready Packages: SolidWorks/Inventor/Fusion models, STEP, DXF, BOMs, and fully dimensioned 2D drawings your vendor can quote and build from without a clarification call.
▶TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES | WHY WORK WITH ME
✅K-Factor Bending Optimization: Laser-cut DXF flat patterns optimized for CNC press brakes to prevent physical rework.
✅FEA Simulation: Linear static stress and load tests to target safety factors (1.5x to 2.0x) to simplify final structural certification.
✅MIG/TIG Frame Generator: Custom structural frames with real-time weldment cutlists.
✅GD&T ASME Y14.5 & ISO Fits: Precise tolerancing to eliminate workshop assembly clearance issues.
✅Lightweighting & DFM: Value engineering using geometric optimization to lower material costs.
✅Off-The-Shelf (OTS) Hardware Integration: Fastener and hardware routing (McMaster-Carr, Misumi, Wurth) with exact manufacturer part numbers.
✅Precise fabrication materials: CRS, A36/GR50, A500, AL 3003-H14, AL 6063, ABS, Silicone Rubber from suppliers like Ryerson.
