Mechanical Design Specialist | SolidWorks | Weldments | Sheet Metal | Manufacturing Support
I'm a mechanical design professional with over 15 years of experience designing production-ready equipment and fabricated products. My expertise includes weldments, sheet metal, machined components, large assemblies, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
I don't just create CAD models—I design parts and assemblies that are practical to manufacture. My background includes working directly with customers, developing complete design solutions, creating production drawing packages, and ensuring designs are optimized for laser cutting, press brake forming, machining, and welding.
My services include:
Mechanical design and product development
SolidWorks 3D modeling
Weldment and sheet metal design
Manufacturing drawings and BOMs
Reverse engineering
Design for manufacturability (DFM)
Assembly design and detailing
Basic FEA and design validation
If you're looking for someone who understands both engineering design and real-world manufacturing, I'd be happy to discuss your project.

Mechanical Design Engineer with expertise in sheet metal, machined parts, hydraulic and electromechanical systems, and reverse engineering. Proficient in SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, and Onshape. I deliver manufacturing-ready 3D models and 2D drawings (DFM-optimized, GD&T compliant).
What I do:
• Sheet metal design — enclosures, brackets, flat patterns ready for laser cutting and bending
• Machined parts — DFM-optimized designs with complete manufacturing drawings
• Reverse engineering — recreating parametric CAD models from physical parts, measurements, photos, or scan data (STL/mesh to solid), legacy drawings to 3D
• Hydraulic systems — components, manifolds, schematics
• Electromechanical assemblies — mechanism design, motor integration, BOM
• CAD conversion — STEP, IGES, Parasolid, native formats
You get clean, parametric models and drawings your manufacturer can use without questions. Available for both one-off projects and long-term collaboration.

Most CAD models look good on screen.
Very few are actually ready for manufacturing, fabrication, or real-world production.
I help startups, manufacturers, fabrication shops, engineering teams, and product developers create production-ready CAD models, sheet metal designs, fabrication drawings, 3D printable parts, and manufacturing documentation that can go directly into production.
If you are struggling with:
✔CAD files that cannot actually be manufactured,
✔Incorrect flat patterns, bend issues during sheet metal fabrication,
✔Poor fabrication drawings with missing dimensions
✔Weak product designs and non-Optimized 3d printable designs,
✔Messy assemblies and unclear BOMs
✔Poor communication and delayed delivery,
✔Freelancers disappearing mid-project,
✔Constant revisions due to manufacturing mistakes,
then I can help.
With more than 6 years of experience, I specialize in turning sketches, concepts, PDFs, STEP files, STL scans, and rough ideas into clean, organized, production-ready engineering deliverables.
