Engineers know how to draw. I know how to manufacture. With over 30 years of experience in the precision machining and aerospace industry, I bridge the gap between theoretical CAD designs and physical reality. I have engineered, programmed, and inspected custom precision components for grounded F-15/F-16 fighter jets, solid fuel rockets, and the C-17 Globemaster. I specialize in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews. If you have a complex 3D CAD model, I will analyze it to identify impossible internal radii, inaccessible features, or fixturing nightmares before you waste thousands of dollars on the CNC machine. If your design looks perfect on the screen but you need to know if it will actually survive the shop floor, let's talk. Your Core Skills & Tags to Select • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Jig & Fixture Design • Contract Manufacturing • CNC Programming • Mastercam / AutoCAD / SolidWorks • Aerospace Tooling • Design Analysis & Validation

I’m a CAD/CAM designer with a strong background in CNC manufacturing and design for manufacturing (DFM). With years of hands-on experience running CNC machines and developing production workflows, I specialize in creating precise, production-ready 3D models and toolpaths that bridge the gap between design and the shop floor. My expertise includes: • Fusion 360 CAD/CAM – 3D modeling, assemblies, parametric design, and simulation. • CNC Programming – 2.5D and 3D milling, toolpath optimization, and post-processing for real-world machining. • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) – Engineering parts and assemblies that are not only functional, but efficient to produce, reducing costs and lead times. • Technical Drawings & Documentation – Industry-standard blueprints, tolerancing, and assembly instructions. • Rapid Prototyping – Preparing models for CNC machining, 3D printing, and other prototyping methods. I understand the challenges that come with moving a design into production. My background on the manufacturing floor means I design with real-world constraints, materials, and machining processes in mind. Whether you need a concept modeled, a prototype developed, or a full set of CNC-ready files, I can help you turn your idea into a manufacturable product. If you’re looking for a designer who knows both the software and the machine, let’s connect.

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.

Thank you for considering me for your project. I am a 3D CAD Designer who helps individuals and small companies create high fidelity 3D models of their products in a timely manner. I create accurate 3D models of your designs from hand sketches, 2D drawings, verbal discussions, images, even MS Paint drawings. After creating your model, I can provide you with production ready drawings, 2D and 3D images, 3D printing ready files, photorealistic renderings, and animations of your design in motion. Need a model of a physical object? Using 3D scanning I can accurately digitize a real world object and prepare it for 3D printing or manufacturing. Need a prototype? I can help! I'm experienced in creating a wide range of prototypes including consumer electronics, sports equipment, medical instruments, UAV components, and more. Using my capabilities such as CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding, and urethane casting. I can quickly and cost effectively iterate on your design. I have also taken several designs from conception to finish product. Examples include developing consumer electronic altimeters, fabricating and programming autonomous research boats, and designing and manufacturing camera mounts used in high risk environments. Let’s discuss your project’s requirements and how I can help.
