I’m a mechanical engineer with 19+ years of experience in product development, CAD modeling, prototyping, and complex system design. My career spans from nuclear power plant systems engineering to consumer product innovation, with 4 patents and extensive hands-on experience bringing ideas to life. I specialize in helping inventors, startups, and small companies turn concepts into manufacturable products. With a full workshop and 3D printing capability, I not only design in CAD but can also deliver functional prototypes for real-world testing.

I am a CAD Modeler aiming to support my clients' physical product development efforts in a cost-effective way by making CAD models in Fusion360. I have 15 years of experience in product development, both in large enterprise at Caterpillar and in my own company, Velocity Robotics, as an entrepreneur. I have been on both sides of the freelance relationship and understand what it takes to maximize the value provided to my clients. If you need somebody to turn your drawing or idea into a 3D model, I can help. If you need help with prototyping and engineering, or just another set of eyes on your design, I can help there too. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and a lot of experience prototyping and testing parts and assemblies. I can even 3D print parts and send them to you, and even test fit assemblies in house. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and discuss your business needs and how I can help. Sincerely, Brad Kriel

I graduated from the University of Maine with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. I have been a mechanical design engineer professionally for the last 7 years working on everything from 3D printed plastic clips, to custom automation machines and custom machine tooling for assembly presses. I have experience in designing for 3D printing as well as GD&T and design for more traditional manufacturing processes like plastic injection molding and CNC machining.
