About

Hi, I’m Suraj, a Mechanical CAD & Manufacturing Engineer with 3+ years’ experience supporting CNC/VMC machining, process improvement, and production-ready CAD. I specialise in SolidWorks modeling, jigs & fixtures, assemblies, and detailed 2D drawings (DWG/DXF/PDF) with GD&T and DFM/DFMA so parts are easier to make and inspect.

I can support projects like:
Fixture/jig design for machining, bending, welding, and assembly
3D modeling + 2D manufacturing drawings (GD&T, notes, inspection points)
DFM/DFMA reviews to reduce cost and rework
File conversions: STEP/IGES/STL, DWG/DXF, PDF
Optional KPI/production dashboards (Power BI) for manufacturing visibility

Deliverables: SolidWorks parts/assemblies, STEP/IGES/STL, DWG/DXF, drawing PDFs, BOM support, and fixture/die concepts for machining and bending operations. Message me with your sketch/PDF/part photos and requirements, I’ll respond quickly with a clean plan and deliverables.
