With 15+ years in high-precision CNC machining and manufacturing engineering (primarily aerospace), I specialize in helping machine shops reduce cycle times, extend tool life, improve setups, and eliminate production bottlenecks through targeted, async consulting. Key services: CAM/toolpath optimization (adaptive strategies, roughing/finishing efficiency, G-code refinement) Custom fixture and workholding design (repeatable, minimal-setup solutions for complex parts) Manufacturability & setup reviews (DFM feedback on prints, processes, tolerances to prevent costly rework) Background includes progressing from operator to night-shift lead, CNC programmer, manufacturing engineer (fixture design, process proving), and now applications engineer focused on floor optimization. I've programmed and optimized for manual lathes, conversational CNC, 3-5 axis mills, and tight-tolerance aerospace components (aluminum, titanium, Inconel). I deliver async-only: clear scopes, one revision included, ITAR-aware, and strict intake boundaries to respect your time and mine. No open-ended freelancing—defined deliverables for overflow or specialized jobs. Currently a full-time applications engineer; side consulting via DSE Applied Engineering LLC (Minnesota-based). Open to select, high-value projects that leverage my hands-on production experience. Let's solve your machining challenges efficiently—message me or use my intake form.

I am a CAD Designer, CNC Programmer, and Manufacturing Specialist with over 20 years of hands-on experience in machining, industrial maintenance, and technical problem-solving. My strength is bridging the gap between design and real-world manufacturing. I help clients transform sketches, photos, existing parts, and technical concepts into accurate 3D CAD models, CNC-ready components, and 3D-printable designs. My expertise includes: • 3D CAD Design using Fusion 360 • CNC Programming and Toolpath Generation with Mastercam • Reverse Engineering from photos, measurements, or existing parts • Mechanical Component Design and Redesign • Manufacturing-Oriented Design (DFM) • 3D Printing Preparation and STL Optimization • Electrical and Instrumentation Technical Knowledge • Technical Drawings and Documentation Unlike many CAD designers, I understand how parts are actually manufactured. This allows me to create designs that are not only visually correct but also practical, functional, and cost-effective to produce. Whether you need a part recreated from a broken component, a concept developed into a manufacturable design, a CNC machining project, or a 3D-printable model, I can help turn your idea into a reliable engineering solution. I am committed to clear communication, attention to detail, and delivering professional results on time.

I am a CNC Designer and Programmer with 3.5+ years of hands-on experience in wooden CNC machining, based in Visakhapatnam, India. I specialize in creating detailed 2D and 3D designs using ArtCAM Pro 9.1 and Autodesk ArtCAM, and I am skilled in generating accurate CNC toolpaths and machining programs for woodworking machines. My work includes designing decorative panels, doors, custom furniture components, and ornamental wooden pieces and also i know how to creating designs for metal like aluminium etc and stone. I run my own CNC workshop — Srusti Furniture Works — where I handle everything from concept design to final machine output, giving me a complete understanding of how a design performs in real-world production. I hold a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering, which gives me a strong technical foundation alongside my practical CNC skills. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering clean, production-ready files on time. If you need ArtCAM design work, toolpath generation, furniture panel design, or CNC file conversion, I am ready to help bring your project to life.
