I am a mechanical engineer who focuses on 3D Printing. I have built my own printer and have run it for over a year now. I am familiar with how to make something printable and usable with minimal post-processing. I am also very DIY minded, working on projects ranging from the aforementioned 3D printer to a homemade TV-B-Gone. I am proficient with Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360 for CAD work. I also do some 3D modelling in my spare time with Blender and 3Ds Max.

You have a product idea. You're excited about it. You are ready to move forward. Awesome!... but now, you have to navigate the design gauntlet. Figuring out all the little details to take your design from paper into reality. It can be overwhelming. Thankfully, I thrive on this process, bringing together technical skills with good communication, and effective project management to provide exceptional designs. My job is to take YOUR dream and make it a reality in a way that solves your problem and also is elegant and compelling. I'm a mechanical engineer. Through my company, Tarhun 3D, I help clients with their engineering and product development problems. My design experience has ranged from small parts up to large, 60' tall, steel structures. Throughout I have applied my strong technical background with my passion for design to create excellent solutions. My Specialties Are: • Concept Generation -- From napkin sketch to prototype -- QUICKLY • Design and Drafting -- Using SolidWorks design tools to create models and drawings that flow through manufacturing • 3D Printing Consultations -- Optimizing parts for the 3D printing process • Design for Manufacturing -- Bringing manufacturing considerations into the design process to optimize production costs and improve the bottom line. • Project Planning -- Using my decade of project planning experience to ensure the project moves forward

I have been in manufacturing now for ten years; the first eight years I spent building assemblies, quality processes and programs, and tool design. The last two years I have been working as a Mechanical Design Engineer. I have been designing linkage systems, weldments, sheet metal, plastic, and machined parts. I design using 3D CAD modeling software. I am familiar with industry process, non-destructive testing, frame design, and mechanical and electrical systems. I like to clearly understand the needs of customer before I like to start projects and to be clear of the expectations and mile stones of a project. I enjoy design work and hope to be helping you soon.
