⭐13+ years of professional experience using advanced manufacturing techniques to design and build real-world solutions for practical applications⭐ My name is Kevin Hardin and I design and manufacture high-quality finished parts and assemblies using advanced 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting. My work can be done as one off, small batch, or high volume production. I can physically ship parts directly to you at your location anywhere in the world, or help facilitate manufacturing with your supply chain. I typically work with clients in industrial applications including robotics, industrial manufacturing, IOT, and scientific research. This may include creating custom fixtures and jigs, reverse engineering components, electronic enclosures, or designing unique mechanical components or mechanisms. If your project does not fall under the above categories, I often take on projects in other interesting niches, just invite me to your job and we’ll discuss if I’m the perfect fit to support you. I am able to quickly make multiple iterations of a design to develop production-ready components that are optimized for a variety of manufacturing methods. Each design is validated using in-house 3D printers to ensure parts work exactly as intended. ►Check out the interactive 3D CAD designs using the links in the portfolio descriptions◄ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I use the following approach to ensure my solution meets your exact needs. 1 - (DISCOVER) - I will ask the right questions and listen and understand the specific requirements and design challenges of your project 2 - (DESIGN) - I will develop 3D CAD model using OnShape or Solidworks and share models so you can review and provide feedback 3 - (DEVELOP) - I use an iterative design approach to create multiple 3D printed prototypes for you to evaluate and test at your location 4 - (DELIVER) - I will help source final parts using manufacturing method best suited for your application Don't just take my word for it. Check out my previous reviews on UpWork and this testimonial from one of my recent manufacturing clients. "My supply chain has been disrupted due to the effect of Covid-19. I was missing a critical part to complete a step in my manufacturing process. Kevin was able to understand what I needed and get me the 200 retaining clips I needed me in under 3 days. He saved my ass" - Frank DeGalo - Engineering Manager - Precision Automation Invite me to your job so we can schedule a video conference to discuss the specific details of your project. Thanks for learning about me! Kevin Hardin ⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ❔ Do you just do 3D design or can you manufacture parts? I can create custom 3D designs as well as manufacture the parts to complete your project. I use a DFM (Design For Manufacturability) approach to make sure parts are cost effective to produce. ❔ Do you have minimum quantity order requirements? No. Projects can include a single component, multi-part assemblies, or even small production quantities up to 2000 pieces. ❔ What Manufacturing Methods Do You Use? In my prototype lab I have FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printers as well as laser cutting and 3-axis CNC machining. I also have a network of suppliers to manufacture components using SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), Multi-Jet Fusion, 5-axis milling, or injection molding. ❔ What industries do you specialize in? I work with clients from various industries, however, my specialty is in industrial applications including manufacturing, robotics, IOT, and scientific research. ❔ How quick can you start? Lead times can be as low as 4 days but varies depending on the scope of work and manufacturing requirements. ❔ How will we communicate? We will start communicating through the UpWork messaging system. Video conferences are used for virtual design review meetings. You can view 3D design files using the cloud-based CAD program OnShape. Many projects will include 3D printed samples that are shipped to you so you can validate the design before using more advanced manufacturing methods. ❔ How do I get started? Invite me to your project and I will reach out within 24 hours (weekdays only). From there we will set up a no pressure / zero obligation video conference to have a one-on-one conversation to learn about your project and see if I am a good fit to solve your unique problem.
