I am a professional Mechanical Engineer with an extremely successful career in Engineering Design, Engineering Management and Manufacturing. I have taken hundreds of products from concept to mass production. I have taken 3D CAD designs thru the full cycle of vendor sourcing & qualification, RFQ, Tooling, Sampling, Production Planning, Quality Control and Testing Specifications and into mass production manufacturing. My greatest strength is thinking outside the box, finding simple cost effective solutions to complex and difficult problems. I am the idea guy, with a history of developing new concepts and market changing innovation. I have an extraordinary mechanical aptitude.

I have a passion for Solidworks, AutoCAD, and photoshop so I am eager to expand my knowledge set and skills utilizing this software to help anyone that needs general 3D and 2D design assistance. I currently have access to the following programs: -SolidWorks (2017) -AutoCAD (2017) -Photoshop (CS2) My core skill set is SolidWorks which extends 4 years and I have the ability to work using the tools below: -Photoview 360 (Rendering) -Surfaces -Sheet Metal -Weldments -Molds -Sketches -Animations (motion studies) -Complex Assemblies -Converting conceptual data to computer models -Product design & Development -3D Modeling and Rendering AutoCAD I am working extensively to obtain a higher skill set to progressively take on more complex and difficult Problems. General skill set is listed below for AutoCAD: -2D Archtecture -2D Park/landscape Layouts -Satellite image to AuoCAD -Layer Management -Custom Template/Drawings Photoshop skills are limited to essential photograph manipulation and digital art. Being entree level, I seek to work hard on your projects for very low cost to benefit you as well as well as use the opportunity for improvement in the Engineering / Manufacturing field. I am excited and will love to assist on any of your projects as I would put the same level of attention into them as I would my own. Please view my personal website / portfolio to view examples of my past work to give you a better understanding of my qualification. I look forward to working with you. Thank you, Cameron Ross

I’m a mechanical engineer with hands-on industry experience in CAD design, manufacturing processes, and product development, from early concept sketches to functional 3D models and production-ready documentation. At AMADA America, Inc., I analyzed and improved manufacturing workflows, collaborated across engineering teams, and developed detailed CAD models and technical documentation for complex machinery. I’ve supported product updates, process optimization, and quality improvements across multiple departments, contributing to faster production times and more accurate designs. I specialize in 2D drafting and 3D CAD modeling, with deep knowledge of design for manufacturability (DFM), geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and prototype-ready documentation. Whether you need an idea transformed into a solid model or full technical drawings for manufacturing, I bring both engineering insight and creative problem-solving to the table. 🔧 Core Services & Skills: - 2D CAD drawings and drafting (for documentation or production) - 3D modeling using SolidWorks - Concept-to-prototype development for parts or products - Mechanical assemblies, weldments, and exploded views - STL/STEP file prep for 3D printing or CNC - Stress analysis, tolerancing, and material consideration - Technical drawing updates for existing machines or components - Photorealistic rendering for presentations and investor decks 🏆 Key Experience: - Created 2D & 3D documentation for over 10 machine types, collaborating with welders, QA, and R&D - Led work studies and implemented process improvements to boost production efficiency - Developed CAD models and welding specs for heat-treated materials - Designed and built a fuel-efficient competition vehicle in the Shell Eco-marathon - Prototyped mechanical parts using 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting in academic labs - Reverse-engineered and improved mechanical designs as part of hands-on coursework ✅ Why Choose Me: - Engineering-driven design mindset backed by real-world manufacturing experience - Highly proficient in CAD tools and technical documentation - Comfortable translating rough ideas or sketches into ready-to-use models - Detail-focused, collaborative, and deadline-oriented - Passionate about design, innovation, and turning ideas into engineered reality Let’s bring your concept to life, whether it’s a new product, a design update, or a manufacturing model. I’m here to support every stage of your project from sketch to prototype. Send me a message and let’s get started!
