I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in SolidWorks, mechanical product development, design for manufacturing (DFM), and prototype development. I help clients turn ideas, sketches, existing parts, and functional requirements into practical 3D CAD designs that can actually be manufactured and tested. My approach goes beyond simply creating geometry—I consider how the part will be made, assembled, toleranced, and used in the real world. My experience includes: • SolidWorks part and assembly modeling • Mechanical product design and development • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) • Functional prototypes and proof-of-concept designs • 3D-printable parts and additive manufacturing design • Sheet metal parts and fabricated enclosures • Mechanical enclosures and component packaging • Manufacturing drawings and GD&T • Tolerance and fit considerations • Design revisions and optimization • CAD models for prototyping and production • STL, STEP, Parasolid, and SolidWorks deliverables I’m particularly well suited for projects where the design needs to do more than look good. I enjoy solving mechanical problems involving fit, function, assembly, manufacturability, packaging, fastening, and real-world constraints. I can work from an existing concept or help develop a design from an early idea. Whether you need a single 3D-printable component, a mechanical assembly, a sheet metal enclosure, or help developing a product toward a manufacturable prototype, I can help move the design forward. My goal is straightforward: deliver clean, practical CAD that is designed with manufacturing and function in mind.

Mechanical Engineer with a Master’s degree in Product Engineering and 5 years of specialized experience in Polymeric Additive Manufacturing. I bridge the gap between complex CAD modeling and functional, real-world production. My expertise lies in Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), ensuring that 3D models are optimized for structural integrity, material efficiency, and printability. I have a proven track record in developing high-precision functional prototypes and mechanical components, utilizing advanced 3D scanning and technical detailing to achieve production-ready results Core Strengths: - Advanced CAD Modeling & Technical Detailing. - Deep understanding of FDM technologies and polymer behavior. - Reverse Engineering & 3D Scanning data manipulation. - Full Product Lifecycle Development (from concept to physical prototype). I am dedicated to delivering high-quality, manufacturing-ready files that save clients time and reduce production costs. Let's bring your mechanical projects to life.
