I have been in the mechanical design industry for more than 14 years as a Mechanical Engineering Technologist. I have worked closely with customers, welders, millwrights, machinists, and otherwise to create elegant and viable solutions for the forestry, mining, oil, and mobile equipment industries. I have a passion and aptitude for mechanical design which has been a veritable force throughout my personal and professional life. My experience has largely been involved in designing and detailing machined and fabricated parts, assemblies and systems, troubleshooting and improving efficiency and reliability, new product development, drive systems and customer service. I have years experience with industrial rotating equipment, material handling systems, mobile equipment, hydraulics, and electric drive systems. In my spare time I do photography, and like to build custom motorcycles, cars, and trucks as well as general metal work which include MIG and TIG welding, and manual machining. The latest addition to my garage is a 3D printer. I completed a diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology at NAIT in 2007 and have since built a career in mechanical design with experience in the field, hands on and at a desk. Thank you for your consideration, Ben Anderson

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 focus on creating 3D models that are not just visual concepts, but functional, manufacturable parts. I specialize in transforming technical ideas and sketches into high-precision geometry ready for production. What I bring to your project: • Manufacturability (DFM): I design with real-world constraints in mind. My hands-on experience with FDM and SLA 3D printing, combined with 3-axis CAM programming, ensures that parts are optimized for their specific production process. • Complex Geometry: Proficient in solid and surface modeling in Autodesk Fusion 360, including curved mechanical components and electronics enclosures. • Technical Methodology: I have completed the intensive CAD/CAM curriculum by Titans of CNC Academy, ensuring a professional approach to toolpath generation and part accuracy. • Clean Project Files: I provide organized models with a clear feature history, making it easy to perform future modifications or updates. Services: • 3D Modeling for CNC Machining and 3D Printing. • Design of Electronics Enclosures and Mechanical Assemblies. • Reverse Engineering from sketches or 2D drawings. • CAM Toolpath Generation (G-code). I am dedicated to dimensional accuracy and delivering production-ready files (STEP, STL, etc.) that meet your specific technical requirements.
