I’m a Mechanical Designer with a strong focus on 3D printing, 3D scanning, and reverse engineering. I enjoy taking ideas from concept to reality—whether that means creating precise CAD models, designing parts for manufacturing, or developing functional prototypes. I’ve worked across different areas, from automotive reverse engineering to consumer product design, and I like combining both mechanical and electronic skills to solve problems. Alongside CAD and design work, I’ve been building up my experience in electronics, circuits, and embedded systems (Arduino, microcontrollers, and prototyping). Right now, I’m focused on expanding into product development and prototyping while continuing to grow my side projects in 3D scanning, CAD services, and custom fabrication.

I am a CAD designer specializing in 3D modeling and technical drawings using Onshape. I focus on creating accurate, manufacturing-ready models that translate ideas into clear, buildable designs. My work includes part modeling, assemblies, and detail drawings suitable for prototyping, 3D printing, and manufacturing projects. I prioritize consistency, clean design practices, and clear file organization for easy navigation. I have experience working on CAD projects ranging from small mechanical components to larger assemblies, and I am comfortable iterating quickly based on feedback.

Hi, I’m David Snyder, and I specialize in turning ideas into precise digital models through Computer-Aided Design. I work closely with small entrepreneurs, startups, and independent inventors to bring their product concepts to life—helping them go from a sketch on paper to a manufacturable design. I also have a background in mechanical engineering which enables me to develop the product to meet your performance requirements. I understand the unique challenges that small businesses face, from limited resources to tight timelines. That’s why my focus is not just on technical accuracy, but also on clear communication, fast turnaround, and cost-effective solutions that support your business goals. Whether you're prototyping your first product, refining a design for 3D printing, or preparing files for CNC machining or injection molding, I’m here to help guide the process. Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects in the automotive industry—from mechanical parts to enclosures, fixtures, and tools. No matter the industry or product type, my goal is always the same: deliver CAD data that’s clean, functional, and ready for the next step. If you have an idea you want to make real, let’s talk. I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs move forward with confidence—one design at a time.

Senior mechanical designer, product development engineer, program manager and engineering director with 20+ years of Solidworks experience. In my career, I have been part of launching hundreds of new products either from the design aspect or leadership side of the launch. My inventiveness and meticulous attention to detail have lead to many very successful products in different markets including fleet and forestry. Some of these designs have been granted US, CA, AU and EU patents as well as other patents pending. In addition, several of my 3D printing designs have been shared on Thinginverse with many downloads as well as remixes. With the support of local fabrication shops and in-house 3D printing, I am able to turn around many prototype designs fairly quickly. If you're looking for drafting, mechanical design or mechanical design all the way through prototyping, I'm the person that can help you out!
