I turn 2D artwork and concepts into production-ready 3D CAD and CNC programs. My background is hands-on: I spent years as a CNC programmer and lead operator running an industrial flatbed router, where I designed the parts, wrote the CAM, and machined them myself. That means my models are built to actually cut and assemble, not just to look good in a render. I work primarily in Fusion 360, with AutoCAD for 2D. Core strengths: - 2D artwork (SVG, AI, EPS, DXF) to manufacturable 3D CAD - Parametric product, furniture, and casework design - 2.5D and full 3D relief, inlay, and engraving geometry - Reverse engineering from images and reference parts - Complete CAM: adaptive roughing, 3D finishing, drilling, contours - Production-ready files in STEP, STL, and OBJ I have authored CNC post-processors from scratch and built AI-assisted CAD/CAM workflows, so I am comfortable taking a project from raw artwork all the way to a file that runs clean on the machine. If you want a designer who understands both sides, the design and the manufacturing, that is exactly what I do.

Lumière Studios is a Chicago-based technical production firm focused on the execution of complex BIM and visualization mandates. We operate as a strategic, white-label partner for architects, developers, and general contractors, providing the specialized bandwidth required to transition projects from conceptual design to coordinated construction documentation with high velocity. Service Pillars: I. BIM Coordination & Technical Modeling: Our primary mandate involves the authoring of accurate BIM models (LOD 200–400) to support architects and builders in securing approvals and mitigating the risk of costly site errors. We specialize in model creation, clash detection, and scan-to-BIM coordination to identify spatial conflicts before materialization. II. Executive 4K Visualization: Complementing our technical rigor, we leverage a high-end tech stack to transform existing plans into photorealistic 4K assets. These deliverables are engineered to secure stakeholder alignment, drive pre-sales, and facilitate capital ROI. III. Technical 2D Drafting: We produce clear, non-stamped architectural and MEP plan sets, including fabrication and shop drawings for seamless project communication. Commercial Impact: Our technical assets act as a catalyst for project growth. In a benchmark case study, the deployment of our team's high-fidelity visualization assets and video walkthroughs facilitated a 300% increase in a client’s project budget—transforming an initial $400,000 allocation into a $1.6 million project. Operational Governance: Lumière Studios provides non-licensed technical design support only. All instruments of service are intended for coordination and visualization; deliverables must be reviewed and stamped by the licensed professional of record prior to construction. We prioritize technical precision while maintaining strict governance over build-liability. Minimum Project Engagement: $2,000

Mechanical engineer who continually demonstrates effective problem solving and delivers creative solutions. Values trust, communication, and work ethic. Has industry experience designing and launching new commercial products, and prototyping those designs. Focused on working with early product development projects. Completed projects include: - Flying Turbine Concept: Concept of a floating wind turbine which takes advantage of the high altitude wind speeds. This optimizes the efficiency of the turbine to generate power at lower costs. - Product Improvement (Glue Gun Holder): A redesign project of a popular consumer product which was receiving bad reviews. The poor performance and failure modes were analyzed, and the product was redesigned to perform better. - Water Purification in HVAC System: A new device used to separate rust from flowing water. This was done to avoid the malfunction of modern magnetic pumps, which was due to rust build up at the pump. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Hi, my name is Benjamin Ellis. I am a mechanical engineer living and working in the Chicago area. I received my BSME from Tennessee Technological University in 2012. My past work experience encompasses multiple responsibilities in high-volume manufacturing in the automotive sector, including tool design, process design, quality inspection methods, CMM and vision inspection system programming, robotics programming, PLC programming, process automation, machine design, metallurgy, CNC machining, and both 2D and 3D CAD, among others. Additional work experience includes roles in manufacturing process design and control, quality control, and product improvement at a steel fabrication facility. The additional skills gained at this workplace include the use of inventory and production tracking software, personnel management, and both raw material and equipment/machinery resource management. This combined work experience has given me the needed skills and knowledge to take products from concept to reality. I have had the privilege of working with outstanding mentors in my field that have trained me to look ahead in the product development cycle to identify potential problems and challenges and to plan accordingly. A deep understanding of and enthusiasm for the various manufacturing processes available has influenced my product design work with a constant eye toward manufacturability and cost. Furthermore, when it comes to engineering, I highly endorse the notion that the simplest process or design is the surest path to success.
