I'm a Plastics Engineering Technology student at Penn State Behrend who models in PTC Creo and Autodesk Inventor. I can build parametric part and assembly models, produce fully dimensioned 2D drawings, and design with manufacturing in mind. Typically plastic parts with knowledge of features like draft, wall thickness, and ribs. My hands-on start was in high school on a FIRST Robotics Competition team, where I designed parts and programs to run CNC machining for our robot. I've since moved towards additive manufacturing (injection molding & FDM printing). I'm a good fit for small to mid-size modeling jobs: converting sketches/PDFs into 3D models or cleaning up/rebuilding existing CAD.

I am a mechanical engineer and product design specialist with over three years of experience turning ideas, sketches and reference photos into CAD models that can actually be manufactured, not just rendered. WHAT I DO - Product design and 3D CAD modelling in Fusion 360, SolidWorks and AutoCAD - Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews before tooling: draft angles, wall thickness, undercuts and features that drive up production cost - Injection-moulded parts, machined parts and sheet metal design - Print-ready STL and 3MF files for FDM and SLA, checked watertight and manifold after export, with tested 0.3–0.5 mm fits so parts assemble first time - Reverse engineering from sketches, photos, PDFs and legacy drawings into clean, editable parametric models - Dimensioned technical drawings with tolerances and GD&T callouts, assembly drawings and bills of materials - CNC programming, nesting and MPR file generation - Photorealistic renders in Blender for pitch decks, listings and investors HOW I WORK Every model is built as a parametric master with a clean feature tree, so a new size or variant is a parameter change, not a full remodel. Before I start, I tell you honestly if a feature will be hard or expensive to manufacture, so problems are caught on screen rather than at the quote stage. RECENT PROJECTS - CAD optimisation and structural verification of a packaging insert with complex internal cavities, including finite element validation (SolidWorks) - Redesign of a gas-driven piston accumulator for manufacturability (SolidWorks) - Consumer product delivered in two production-optimised variants with full 3D data and 2D drawings - CNC nesting and custom MPR file generation for production machining - 3D printable lamp shade and base, validated for FDM production WHAT YOU RECEIVE Native source files, STEP, STL/3MF, DXF and PDF drawings, plus a BOM where needed

I turn ideas, sketches, and dimensions into practical 3D CAD models and printable prototypes using Autodesk Fusion 360. I bring six years of experience across robotics and CAD, combining digital design with hands-on prototyping. My services include: • 3D modeling of mechanical parts and assemblies • Custom enclosures, mounts, and component housings / electronics integration • Design for FDM 3D printing • Modifying existing designs to improve fit and functionality • Prototype development and design iteration • Editing STL and mesh models, including resizing, adding or removing features, and adapting parts for 3D printing My experience includes robotics projects, startup product development, and assistive exoskeletal glove design. I design and test parts in materials including PLA, PETG, and TPU, considering tolerances, assembly, material properties, and printability throughout the process. I study Robotics and Intelligent Systems at Constructor University in Germany, where I lead the campus Makers Club and teach 3D modeling and 3D printing to around 100 students. My projects have earned recognition in many national robotics and innovation competitions, including first place in Georgia’s 2023 Millennium Innovation Award for our Robot Miner and Smart Uniform project. Following that win, I was invited to NASA Space Center in Houston as part of the winning delegation. Whether you need a custom part, changes to an existing model, or support developing a prototype, I can help you create a design you can build and test. I am a Maker so even if I am unfamiliar with something, I will figure it out! Share your sketches, dimensions, or requirements, and we can define the next steps.

15+ years in production manufacturing — advertising, large-format UV printing, vehicle branding, corporate merchandise. That background means I understand tolerances, material behavior, and what actually survives the transition from CAD file to physical part, not just what renders well on screen. For the past 2 years I've focused on parametric 3D modeling in Autodesk Fusion 360, designing functional parts, assemblies, and prototypes for FDM production. Core services: — Reverse engineering: converting STL scans, reference photos, or hand drawings into clean, fully editable parametric CAD models (STEP) — Design for FDM: tolerances, wall thickness, and material selection based on real print behavior, not textbook assumptions — Functional parts, enclosures, fixtures, and custom mechanical components — Print-ready and manufacturing-ready file preparation Direct communication, clear scope, and files that are actually usable downstream — no dumb solids, no guesswork on tolerances.
