Hire the Best Solid Edge Specialists
in South Africa
Johannesburg, South Africa
With 3+ years of professional design engineering experience and over 4,000 hours of hands-on SolidWorks expertise, I help businesses transform concepts into manufacturable, high-performance solutions. Whether you’re iterating a prototype, optimizing a design for production, or reverse-engineering legacy parts, I deliver precise CAD models, actionable FEA insights, and manufacturing-ready documentation—on time and to spec. How I Add Value to Your Project: ✔️ Mechanical Design & 3D Modeling From sketches to detailed assemblies, I create clean, parametric SolidWorks models optimized for functionality, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency. Specializing in sheet metal, machined parts, and injection-molded assemblies. ✔️ FEA-Driven Design Validation I don’t just run simulations—I interpret them. My stress analysis and thermal simulations identify weak points, reduce material waste, and prevent costly failures. Let’s ensure your design performs before it hits production. ✔️ 2D Drafting That Saves Time (and Headaches) GD&T-compliant drawings, BOMs, and assembly guides tailored to your manufacturer’s requirements. I ensure seamless handoffs to machinists, fabricators, or assembly teams—no missing dimensions, no ambiguity. ✔️ Reverse Engineering for Legacy Parts & Prototypes Lost the original CAD file? Need to modernize an old design? I rebuild accurate 3D models from photos, hand measurements, or rough sketches, preserving functionality while incorporating modern manufacturing best practices. Why Work With Me? ✅ Manufacturing-Ready Designs: Optimized for CNC, sheet metal, and injection molding. ✅ No Surprises: Clear communication, regular updates, and revision-controlled deliverables. ✅ Trusted by Teams: Documentation that machinists and assembly teams can rely on. Let’s Build Something Better. Message me to discuss your project’s scope, timeline, and deliverables. I’m here to help you solve problems—not just deliver CAD files.
