Hello, my name is Justin Bates and I am the owner of IronOwl Design and Consulting. I started my own business to offer my experience of designing products in a manufacturing environment to other small businesses and entrepreneurs. I bring to the table several years of experience in 3D modeling & design, engineering knowledge, as well as ASME code knowledge. I'm here to ensure that your products design is captured in the form of a drawing and that drawing is readily understood by any manufacturing or machine shop.

I have 13 years of experience in 3D design and aerospace structural stress analysis. I can design parts that are strong and light, and help you bring your ideas to life. I also offer 3D printing.

Mechanical designer with professional experience supporting high-precision mechanical systems in a fast-paced engineering environment. Skilled in 3D CAD modeling, detailed manufacturing drawings, and design for manufacturability. Experienced with creating parametric models, assemblies, and production-ready drawings using modern CAD tools, with strong attention to tolerance control, fit, and functional performance. I regularly work with complex assemblies, precision components, and prototype hardware that must meet strict quality and reliability standards. Areas I can help with: • 3D CAD modeling from sketches or concepts • Mechanical part and assembly design • Manufacturing drawings and GD&T • Design for machining, fabrication, and 3D printing • Fixture and tooling design • Reverse engineering existing parts I enjoy helping clients turn ideas into clear, manufacturable designs and communicating closely throughout the design process to ensure the final result meets both functional and production needs. Tools: Creo (Parametric), mechanical drafting, GD&T, parametric modeling, tolerance analysis, and assembly design.
