Hi, I’m Suraj, a Mechanical CAD & Manufacturing Engineer with 3+ years’ experience supporting CNC/VMC machining, process improvement, and production-ready CAD. I specialise in SolidWorks modeling, jigs & fixtures, assemblies, and detailed 2D drawings (DWG/DXF/PDF) with GD&T and DFM/DFMA so parts are easier to make and inspect. I can support projects like: Fixture/jig design for machining, bending, welding, and assembly 3D modeling + 2D manufacturing drawings (GD&T, notes, inspection points) DFM/DFMA reviews to reduce cost and rework File conversions: STEP/IGES/STL, DWG/DXF, PDF Optional KPI/production dashboards (Power BI) for manufacturing visibility Deliverables: SolidWorks parts/assemblies, STEP/IGES/STL, DWG/DXF, drawing PDFs, BOM support, and fixture/die concepts for machining and bending operations. Message me with your sketch/PDF/part photos and requirements, I’ll respond quickly with a clean plan and deliverables.

I design real products that get manufactured - not just 3D models. Manufacturing-ready CAD, prototyping, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM)-driven product development for industrial and consumer products. I’m a Product & Industrial Designer with a strong engineering background, specializing in manufacturable product design, mechanical systems, and production-ready CAD. My core focus is not just creating geometry, but developing real products that can be prototyped, tested, manufactured, assembled, and scaled. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience in automotive and industrial product development, particularly within the automotive aftermarket, where design decisions directly impact tooling cost, durability, logistics, and user safety. 📐 What I Do Best I support products from early concept through production validation, with a strong emphasis on: 🔖 Design for Manufacturing (DFM) 🔖 Design for Assembly (DFA) 🔖 Prototyping strategies (FDM, SLA, MJF, CNC) 🔖 Injection molding, sheet metal, and machined parts 🔖 Tolerance management, interfaces, and real-world constraints 📐 End-to-End Product Development Experience I’ve initiated and completed 100+ projects, including: - New product development - Product and process optimization - Cost reduction through redesign - Capacity and efficiency improvements - Innovative R&D projects - Patent-oriented design and prior-art interpretation I’m comfortable evaluating designs from a patentability and IP-risk perspective and aligning concepts accordingly. 📐 Services - Product development from concept or existing reference - Mechanical and industrial 3D CAD (Siemens NX) - Manufacturing drawings (GD&T, BOM, weld symbols) - Design for CNC, sheet metal, injection molding–ready design - Reverse engineering & 3D scan to CAD - Prototyping strategies and iteration planning - Mold-aware part design (plastic & tooling logic) - Technical support during supplier/manufacturer discussions ⏲ Engagement Model I work hourly for: - Iterative product development - Prototyping-heavy projects - Ongoing engineering support I prefer fixed-price for: - Clearly defined parts or assemblies - Manufacturing drawings & production packages - Design reviews and feasibility studies In all cases, scope is defined upfront to avoid surprises on both sides. 📌 Primary CAD Tool: Siemens NX, AutoCAD and Geomagic Design X I work primarily in Siemens NX, which is widely used in high-end automotive and industrial manufacturing. I can deliver clean, fully editable STEP / STL / Parasolid files, and I regularly convert and work with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, SketchUp, and scan-based data. If you use SolidWorks or another CAD system, this is not a limitation — deliverables are always production-ready and compatible. ✒️ Supporting: - Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator / InDesign - Excel (costing, BOMs, comparisons) 📌 If you’re looking for someone who can own the technical side of your product, speak the language of manufacturers, and reduce risk before production—this is where I add the most value. 📐 Automotive Aftermarket Products Development Experience I’ve led and executed the design and development of many production-ready products, including: ✒️ Roof Rack Carrier Bars: Designed 12+ variants, 200+ mounting brackets & kits optimized for different roof types, load cases, and regulations. ✒️ Modular & Extendable Roof Basket: A configurable, scalable system designed for modular manufacturing and logistics efficiency. ✒️ Vehicle Roof-Mounted Bicycle Carrier: A dual-orientation design supporting different wheel diameters with integrated safety locking. ✒️ Roof Rails for Commercial Vehicles: A design that allows for the mounting of various equipment on the roof of commercial vehicles while also giving the vehicle a stylish and aesthetic appearance. ✒️ Vehicle Roof-Mounted Canoe Carrier: A compact, user-friendly system optimized for ease of use and space efficiency. ✒️ Running Boards & Side Steps: Adaptable designs with interchangeable visible components for multiple vehicle platforms. ✒️ Vehicle Roof Platform: A modular and scalable design featuring T-slot mounting channels for different components, allowing for the adaptation of tents or other equipment. ✒️ Hitch Bike Rack: Tiltable, foldable, transport-optimized, configurable for mounting 2 or 3 bikes, competitive in the global market and focused on price-performance. These products were developed with tooling, assembly, durability, and cost in mind—not just form.

I am a manufacturing-focused CAD/CAM engineer with strong hands-on experience in mechanical design, CNC machining preparation, and shop-floor manufacturing processes. I specialize in production-ready design, ensuring parts are easy to machine, assemble, and fit correctly — not just visually correct 3D models. My core expertise includes: • Mechanical part & assembly design (PTC Creo) • AutoCAD 2D manufacturing drawings • CAM programming & toolpath planning • CNC milling & turning preparation • Lathe operations & machining logic • Grinding (surface & cylindrical) • Die fitting & tool components • Jig & fixture understanding • Process planning & manufacturing optimization I understand real-world manufacturing constraints such as tolerances, tooling selection, surface finish, material behavior, and cost control. My goal is to help clients move smoothly from design to production, reducing errors, rework, and machining costs.
