I'm a trade-qualified fitter machinist with 29 years on the tools. I run Port Stephens Machining, a small CNC machining and fabrication shop in Salamander Bay, NSW, Australia. I have programmed and set CNC mills and lathes since 2001, and I was a leading hand or workshop supervisor for most of the 15 years before I opened my own shop. My models are built in Fusion 360 using an AI-assisted workflow I developed: every part is fully parametric, every sketch fully constrained, and each model is run against automated checks before I review it myself as a machinist. You get native Fusion files, STEP, drawings and DXFs, usually much faster than a hand-drawn job. What I do: - Mechanical design and 3D modelling, fully parametric - Manufacturing and fabrication drawings - Sheet metal design with flat patterns and DXFs for laser and press brake - Jigs, fixtures and tooling - Reverse engineering from a sample part, or a photo and sketch - CNC programming for mills, lathes and routers - Design-for-manufacture reviews of your existing model Nothing leaves here until I've checked it can be made: sensible tolerances, real tool access, standard stock sizes. If needed I can prototype it in my own shop on CNC mills, a CNC lathe, a CNC router and a 3D printer. Background: - 2016 to now: owner, Port Stephens Machining. OEM crimping dies for the electrical, hydraulic and plumbing trades, plus jobbing work. - 2015 to 2016: workshop supervisor, OneSteel. Maintenance machine shop of 22. - 2012 to 2015: leading hand and machinist, Sandvik. Set Okuma and Mazak CNC lathes and Okuma CNC mills, including a robot-loaded lathe cell. - 2011 to 2012: on-site machinist, Temmco. Machined bores on site at mines and power stations, and designed and made the on-site machining equipment. - 2008 to 2011: leading hand and workshop supervisor, LaserBond. Reclaiming worn components, up to 30 staff. - 2001 to 2008: leading hand at two CNC job shops, programming and setting the machines. - 1997 to 2001: apprenticeship as a fitter machinist and CNC machinist. Certificate III in Engineering (Mechanical). Certificate IV in Leadership and Management. Briefs and messages are welcome in any language. I work in English and use AI translation for everything else.

I’m James, an engineering student at Edith Cowan University (Perth, Australia) and a Fusion 360 designer focused on parts that actually get made. Most of my design work has been on RC flying-wing aircraft: complete wings with internal ribs, spar channels, servo bays and control surfaces, plus an electronics pod, checked with aerodynamic analysis before printing. I also design everyday mechanical and consumer parts: • Threaded parts, collets and fitted enclosures • Planetary and helical gearboxes • Ducted fans and impellers • Brackets, mounts, end caps and replacement parts • Furniture and small consumer products I own a 3D printer, so I can print and test-fit prototypes to check tolerances, threads and snap fits before you receive final files. Deliverables: native Fusion 360 (F3D), STEP, STL, and dimensioned 2D drawings (PDF/DXF). How I work: clear quote upfront, progress screenshots, two rounds of revisions included, and fast replies (I’m on Australian Western Standard Time, GMT+8).

Hello, I am a Mechanical & Product CAD Engineer with experience in product design, mechanical components, and manufacturing preparation. I specialize in: ✅ 3D CAD Modeling (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor) ✅ Mechanical Component Design (brackets, enclosures, sheet metal, assemblies) ✅ Product Development from concept → prototype → production-ready ✅ Design for Manufacturability (DFM): injection molding, 3D printing, CNC machining ✅ 2D Technical Drawings & GD&T according to industry standards 💡 My added value: Design is not just visual, but ready for efficient production. Design optimization to reduce production and material costs. Clear and transparent communication with clients, including regular progress updates. I have worked on various projects, ranging from electronic casings, mechanical parts, startup hardware prototyping, to assemblies for small-scale manufacturing. 👉 If you need a CAD engineer who can think both technically and practically, I am here to help. Let's discuss your project!
