Bring your ideas to life! I am a mechanical engineer with over 20 year’s experience in design, manufacturing and management. If you have an idea that you wish to make a reality or an existing factory owner looking to improve your production systems and manufacturing methods, I can help you. Having a great deal of first-hand experience operating machine tools allows me to fully embrace the principles design for manufacturing and assembly resulting in practical and cost-effective designs. I am passionate and proud to be a Mechanical Engineer with extensive knowledge of engineering principles, theories, specifications and standards. My goal is to employ sound engineering, design and management principles to allow South African companies to become competitive and recognized in the global marketplace. This is not merely a platitude, but a sincere desire to foster a culture within companies to develop and maintain a World Class Standard of excellence. The services I can offer include: • Product conceptualization and industrialization (from an idea to reality) including design reviews and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA). • 2D and 3D computer aided design (CAD). • 3D rendering and animation. • Design calculations and finite element analysis (FEA). • Access 3D printing and machine shop for prototyping and production. • CNC Lathe and Mill Programming (depending on machine controller). • Manufacturing process and efficiency improvements. • Business process improvement. • Production workflow and routing including datapacks for each production stage detailing methods and Inspection requirements. So, if it is a simple 2d drawing you require, a full product industrialization service or you are looking to improve your manufacturing systems and/or business processes, reach out and contact me.

Efficiency and optimization focused CAD Designer with experience creating fully parametric, optimized for manufacturing ready designs and production drawings. With over 7 years experience designing products of different niches, I have become a versatile CAD designer with expertise in multiple sectors including sheet metal, fibre laser cutting, sheet metal bending, CNC milling and CNC turning as well as 3D printed enclosures for outdoor applications. Software that I've worked with: - Autodesk Inventor - Autodesk Inventor CAM Suite - AutoCAD - Autodesk Fusion 360 - Ultimaker Cura - Keyshot Tasks / roles that I can fulfil: - Drafter / Drafting Tasks - Product Design - Sheet metal and bending designer - Reverse Engineer / Reverse Engineering - CAD Design - DFM / Design For Manufacturing - Design for 3D printing - Design for CNC Machining and CNC Turning - Design for Injection Moulding I was involved in: - Creating flat patterns for laser cutting, - Bend drawings for the bending team, - Assembly instructions for the assemblers - Steel tube cut list's for the manufacturing team, - Designing parts and then programming and running them on our CNC milling machine, - Designing optimised parts for 3D printing - Keeping an eye open for design optimisations in general I refined my skills further with my time working hands on with the production process, seeing and deeply understanding the processes involved in building your final product. This has taught me to always imagine the assembly process and keep an eye out for any design choices that could make manufacturing more difficult or downright impossible. My hands on experience comes from spending time working on a Sheet Metal Fibre laser, producing the flat parts for assembly as well as hand on assembly in an IoT device that was manufactured using 3D printing.
