My name is Michael Gray, and I'm currently a mechanical engineering student at Penn State. I'm affiliated with several modeling programs, including SolidWorks, SolidEdge, AutoCAD, Fusion360, Revit, and Blender. I can make both complex parts for assemblies and models for games, and look for any opportunity to learn. Having a passion for design from a young age, I have involved myself with 3D printing and manufacturing processes. Additionally, I have a personal interest in physical assemblies, woodworking, smithing, video game design, finite element analysis, and fluid dynamics. I have taken leadership in design projects requiring model assemblies and parameter-based design, including RC cars, furniture, wind turbines, and personal organizers. All of these outlets have allowed me to explore niches of these programs, and are valuable to my work. If you choose me as a candidate, I will make sure to work with you in every step of the design process. If my services are not to your liking, I will do everything I can to make it right. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to the possibility of working together!

I’m a degreed mechanical engineer with over 30 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, mechanical design, and engineering leadership. My career spans industries including automotive, consumer products, industrial equipment, and more. This broad background gives me a practical understanding of how to turn ideas into production-ready solutions. I specialize in CAD modeling using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, with deep expertise in design for manufacturability (DFM), tolerance stack-up, BOM creation, and production optimization. Whether you’re prototyping a new product, refining an existing design, or converting legacy CAD files, I bring precision, speed, and real-world insight to every project. My professional history includes roles as a Manufacturing Engineer, Project Engineer, Engineering Manager, Mechanical Designer, and Operations Manager. I’ve led cross-functional teams, improved throughput, reduced tooling costs, and solved complex design challenges under tight deadlines. What I offer: • Production-ready CAD models and assemblies • Legacy CAD file conversion and cleanup • Design optimization for CNC, injection molding, and additive manufacturing • Tolerance analysis and GD&T application • BOM creation and documentation • Remote consulting for manufacturing process improvement I’m available for short-term projects, long-term collaborations, and remote engagements. Let’s make your design not just functional but manufacturable.
