Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA)
About
I have over a decade of experience in mechanical design & tooling engineering for aerospace and induction motor manufacturing. I own my projects from concept through design, modeling, drafting, structural analysis, and release. These designs incorporate Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) best practices in order to achieve not just optimized performance, but producibility as well.
My strengths include 3D modeling and 2D drafting, extensive GD&T experience and training, structural analysis, FEA in Ansys, part renderings, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
