About
I am a mechanical engineer specializing in 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping and 3D printing. For the last 7+ years I have helped clients turn rough ideas into functional prototypes, ready for manufacturing or small-batch production.
I work mainly in Fusion 360 and SolidWorks and I’m very comfortable with complex assemblies, organic surfaces and precise mechanical parts. I also have hands-on experience running FDM and SLA 3D printers, so I know how to design parts that print correctly the first time.
I can support you through the full development cycle:
• turn sketches or existing products into 3D CAD models
• design parts and assemblies for 3D printing (FDM, SLA, SLS)
• adjust models for manufacturing (tolerances, clearances, fasteners)
• prepare technical drawings for workshops and factories
• create clean presentation renders of your product
I’ve worked on consumer products, functional mechanisms, fixtures and enclosures, as well as educational and maker projects. Clear communication is very important to me – I ask questions early, send regular updates and share screenshots or test prints when needed.
If you need a reliable engineer to design, optimize and prototype your product, I’ll be happy to help.
