Welcome to 3rDimension Engineering. I have a bachelor’s degree of science in mechanical engineering from USC and I reside in Los Angeles. I happen to be a relentless problem solver with experience working with Solidworks to produce 3D models and technical documentation for components and assemblies. I recently developed prototype robot grippers for various robotics and factory automation systems with Numatic Engineering. These projects required careful measurement and analysis which led to 3D modeling that was often used to produce drawings for manufacturing or support. In many cases I used 3D printing to create fast, economical, functional prototype components for use in live automation demonstrations. Due to my interest and success in producing 3D modeling and mechanical documentation using Solidworks, I have decided to freelance my skills to further increase my experience and capabilities. I offer the following services using Solidworks: -3D modeling of components and assemblies -Mechanical Drafting of components and assemblies using rectangular tolerance (GD&T offered for certain projects) -FEA Reporting available for components (displacements, 1st principle stresses, VM stresses) -Frequency Analysis Reports available for components

My Outlook: Every product design project begins with a jumble of vague puzzle pieces. The pieces… market analysis, competitive analysis, price points, innovation, differentiation, aesthetics, concinnity, function, ergonomics, materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, assembly, packaging, shipping, users, manufacturers, costs, and the client. A myriad of considerations assemble into a design that makes your product unique, pertinent, targeted within its market, and profitable… a tangible object of desire and promise... a crisp image that makes sense. Every product wants to be something… to be desired and to realize its potential. I strive to stimulate that desire and optimize that potential… to solve the puzzle. My clients' success ensures my own and realizing that desire and potential benefits us both. My Experience: I use my degree in industrial design as a product designer/developer covering a wide variety of products. I have 20+ years of 3D modeling and product development experience. I have the resources to do it all... from concept to point of purchase and everything in-between. My Feedback, received and given: “Steve did great work helping us detail our product for manufacturing. He took the time to really understand the project and its intricacies instead of diving head first and by the end of this job, had an intimate understanding of all the details. He is talented and was willing to research new methods to help meet our stringent product constraints. We went through several discussions and he was excellent at being responsive and keeping things on track. He produced high quality solidworks assemblies and files. Overall he went above and beyond what was expected of him. Highly recommended contractor, A+++” —robocular “Antoine is an outstanding client to work with. He's quite knowledgeable and organized with clearly established goals coupled with exceptional communication skills. This project had some challenging constraints outside typical manufacturing and product design and development norms, but we worked through these challenges while staying within the target budget for the product. This project was more than I had bargained for, but I relished the challenge and Antoine appreciated the effort I put into it, which made this job particularly satisfying. I hope to work with Robocular again in the future.” —Io-Design “Working with Steve was a pleasure, not only do I think he’s an all-around good guy, but his approach to our project was great. He was able to take our idea and bring all his experience in making it better. Our initial idea was transformed into a product that ended up being cheaper to produce and nicer, while being more practical. We were able to overcome the hurdle we encounter and find solution that made it work! Also, he often came back with a different idea of doing things that were very practical. I Highly recommend him. ” — yvesl “Yvesi came to me with the need for a design for a grain dispenser for feeding livestock. As is often the case, he showed me a design from another designer he had hired that didn't meet the product requirements. This design was too large and could not be sold at a profit due to inappropriate and impractical manufacturing processes. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that is half the size, more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly, and is simple to assemble and install. Also, it will be sold at a projected price point that is 10% lower than the competition at a projected 90% profit margin while enjoying relatively low capital expenditures. It was a pleasure working with yvesi on this project and I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future.” —Io-Design “Io-Design was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He provided designs that were exactly what we were looking for and he took into account the manufacturing. I would recommend him to anyone. ” — Westone “As mentioned in the job description, Blake works for a company that represents the ultimate, uncompromising audio experience – revolutionary sound; unrivaled comfort and fit; with superior, innovative design in the earphone market. While they are well known among audiophiles and professionals who rely on uncompromising audio, they are less so in the consumer market. This project was part of an effort to update their earphones look, feel, and user experience to the level of their best in class earphone technology... the challenge being that their existing monitors/earbuds were to remain unchanged. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that practices concinnity with the existing monitors, introduces innovative solutions, targets the consumer market, and enhances brand recognition. Superior design was the point of this project and together we have achieved that goal. Blake is a pleasure to work with and I'm looking forward to the next project.” —Io-Design

To make a long story longer, I used to be a diesel engine technician. It was a career that I thoroughly loved and enjoyed, but the overall physical fatigue and demands from that line of labor had the potential to limit my future well-being. The decision to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering was a logical solution to replicate this enjoyment from working on engines, but also a decision that would provide better future career opportunities. My academic endeavor was less-than conventional, as I was also responsible for a mortgage and funding my own tuition. Although I am married, I am not the type of individual to rely entirely upon my wife with the burden of financial assistance. An unfortunate result of my stubbornness is the notion of accepting an internship, as it could provide an obvious educational value but lacked necessary financial requirements. My participation in on-campus race car teams provided the perfect opportunity to obtain design experience, and to promote these designs in a competitive environment.

I began my journey into design and engineering services at the age of 13, when I needed to fill an elective course as a freshman in high school. I randomly chose something called "Mechanical Drafting Basics" and the rest is history. After that first class, I had my first taste of purpose in life!! It was art within boundaries, and it was purely fascinating to me. I have never deviated from this path over the last 20+ years, through college, and my career that has spanned various industries. I am now fortunate enough and extremely excited to be in a position to put my skills to work for myself, and for you. At Sonoma Valley Design Engineering we provide a passion and dedication to design that reflects my values and desire to build long lasting client relationships. My goal is to help you succeed, in any way I can. This is more than a job, this is a lifetime of craft and working towards being the most effective engineering services provider I can be. I hope that we can build a long-lasting relationship that is beneficial to all.
