About
I am a highly experienced and innovative product manufacturer and designer, dedicated to delivering exceptional results in 3D design using Rhino 3D and CAD software.
With a passion for classic car rebuilds and automotive components, I also specialize in cutting-edge 3D printing and advanced composite material fabrication.
My expertise in Rhino 8 allows me to excel in 3D design, drafting, 3D scanning, mold creation, and component manufacturing.
I proficiently utilize epoxy systems, carbon fiber, glass fiber, and other materials to create high-quality components that stand out for their mechanical functionality and visual appeal.
Furthermore, my hands-on skills in finishing and spray painting ensure that every product meets the highest standards of quality, combining outstanding form with flawless function.
