Most scan-to-CAD freelancers are working with consumer-grade hardware and guessing at geometry. I'm not. I'm a manufacturing engineer with cross-functional experience at a professional tool and manufacturing facility — spanning both contract CNC machining and tool and die / mold building operations. That background means I understand how parts are actually made — tolerances, material behavior, fixturing, and manufacturability — not just how they look on screen. My scanning setup is a Revopoint Metro Y Pro blue laser scanner, one of the most accurate portable scanners on the market. I use it to capture complex geometry, clean and optimize mesh data, and build accurate, manufacturable CAD models in SolidWorks. For 3D printing, I run a Creality K2 Plus capable of holding ±.003" tolerances in production. I work primarily in PLA-CF and PETG-CF for applications requiring stiffness and dimensional stability, with standard filaments available for prototyping and general use. What I do: Reverse engineering of existing parts with no drawings Scan-to-CAD for worn, legacy, or one-off components 3D print-ready file preparation and optimization Mesh cleanup and simplification for downstream use FDM 3D printing in engineering-grade and standard filaments If you have a part that needs to exist as a CAD file — whether for reproduction, modification, manufacturing, or printing — I can take it from physical object to finished output under one roof.

I specialize in functional 3D modeling, 3D printing, prototyping, and custom part design with a strong background in hands-on technical troubleshooting. My work focuses on creating practical models that are meant to actually fit, function, and be manufactured or 3D printed—not just look good on screen. I have experience designing and modifying replacement parts, brackets, hooks, mounts, adapters, arcade machine components, personalized products, prototypes, and other functional objects based on measurements, photographs, sketches, existing parts, or a client's idea. My workflow can include: Creating custom 3D models from measurements or reference images Designing functional parts for 3D printing Recreating broken or unavailable plastic components Modifying and repairing STL files Resizing and adapting existing models Adding holes, mounting points, text, logos, and other features Designing brackets, hooks, mounts, adapters, spacers, and connectors Preparing models for reliable 3D printing Evaluating print orientation, strength, supports, and manufacturability Printing and physically testing prototype designs Revising models based on real-world fit and function My background also includes Unity development, arcade equipment, electronics, Arduino systems, sensors, switches, controls, PCs, and hardware/software troubleshooting. That experience helps me understand how a custom-designed part will interact with the equipment around it. I particularly enjoy projects where a client has a real-world problem such as: “I can't buy this replacement part anymore.” “This part keeps breaking.” “I need something to mount these two components together.” “I have an idea but don't know how to turn it into a printable model.” “I have an STL that needs to be changed.” If you can provide measurements, photographs, sketches, an existing model, or the original component, I can help determine a practical way to turn it into a usable 3D design. I value clear communication, accurate measurements, practical design decisions, testing, and iterative improvement.
