Mechanical & Product CAD | Prototyping & Redesign Specialist I specialize in mechanical and product-focused CAD, with a strong emphasis on designs that actually work in the real world — especially for prototyping, 3D printing, and small-scale manufacturing. My strength is not just making models look correct, but designing parts that are functional, manufacturable, and ready to iterate. I regularly work on redesigning failed parts, cleaning up unusable files, and turning rough ideas into practical, buildable components. What I do best: Mechanical & product CAD for prototypes and small assemblies 3D-print-optimized design (FDM considerations) Redesigning parts to improve strength, fit, tolerances, or print success CAD conversion and cleanup (STL → parametric CAD, PDF → CAD, fixing poor models) Reverse-engineering parts from measurements or existing components Simple tooling, fixtures, jigs, and mold-ready designs How I work: Parametric, well-structured models (Onshape) Practical engineering mindset focused on function and manufacturability Clear communication and fast iteration based on real constraints Project-based pricing, not rushed hourly drafting I’m a strong fit for startups, inventors, makers, and small manufacturers who need CAD that goes beyond drawings — and results in parts that can actually be produced, printed, or tested. If you need a design fixed, refined, or built properly from the start, I can help.
