3D Product Designer specializing in fashion accessories and items for experiential marketing. I help brands bring creative ideas into 3D reality. I use Fusion 360 to build models that are functional, aesthetic, and optimized for 3D printing. Want to launch a product or create marketing props? I support you from the first sketch to the digital or physical result, ensuring parts fit your hardware, trims, and construction-details. Services I offer: ▶3D CAD models ready for prototyping or production (STL/STEP files) ▶Physical prototypes or marketing props (I have my own 3D printing studio in Montreal) ▶Consulting on materials, 3D printing, and manufacturability (so we plan realistically for your method and budget) ▶Digital assets for presentations and campaigns Looking forward to working with you.

I design functional, print-ready parts for FDM 3D printing — not CAD that only looks good on a screen. If you need enclosures, mechanical components, or multi-part assemblies that actually print, fit, and survive real-world use, I handle the full DFAM process from concept to validated prototype. I work primarily with startups, engineers, and product teams who are tired of: Parts warping, cracking, or failing after print Designs that require excessive supports or post-processing Assemblies that don’t fit due to poor tolerance control CAD models that ignore layer orientation and material behavior My focus is Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) specifically for FDM, where print constraints are accounted for upfront — not “fixed later.” What I specialize in: FDM-optimized product design (Fusion 360, SolidWorks) Enclosures, housings, and functional mechanical parts Snap-fits, press-fits, tolerance-driven assemblies Wall thickness control, overhang management, and support reduction Strength-aware design accounting for anisotropy and load paths Material-aware engineering (PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS) Reverse engineering and parametric redesign STL validation, repair, and print optimization My designs are developed with layer orientation, fastener integration, assembly sequence, and post-processing constraints considered from the start — so prototypes translate cleanly into repeatable production parts. If you want someone who thinks like a product engineer and designs like a manufacturer, not a generic CAD operator, I’m a strong fit.
