Najaf A.

With a strong technical foundation in Mechanical Engineering (DAE), I provide production-ready assets for machine shops, hardware startups, and fabricators. My workflow prioritizes precision, material optimization, and tooling accessibility.
​CORE COMPETENCIES:
​1. Advanced CAM & CNC Programming (High Precision)
​Tools: PowerMill, Autodesk Inventor CAM.
​Scope: Creation of collision-verified toolpaths for multi-axis CNC machining.
​Output: Production-ready G-Code and Setup Sheets.
​2. Industrial Mechanical Design
​Tools: Autodesk Inventor (Expert), SolidWorks.
​Scope: Parametric modeling of complex assemblies, interference detection, and mechanism design.
​Specialty: Sheet Metal & Weldments—Design of enclosures and frames including K-factor calculation, flat pattern generation, and DXF export for laser/plasma cutting.
​3. Technical Drafting & GD&T
​Tools: AutoCAD.
​Scope: ISO/ANSI standard 2D technical drawings for fabrication.
​Detail: Strict adherence to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure proper fits and assembly.
​4. Additive Manufacturing & Woodworking
​Tools: Orca Slicer, Vectric Aspire.
​Scope: Optimization for FDM printing (support minimization) and CNC Routing (nesting and V-Carve for signage/cabinetry).
​SOFTWARE STACK:
​Primary: Autodesk Inventor, PowerMill, AutoCAD.
​Secondary: SolidWorks, Vectric Aspire, Orca Slicer, KeyShot.
​WHY HIRE ME:
I do not just deliver 3D files; I deliver manufacturing assurance. Whether you need a complex mold toolpath via PowerMill or a sheet metal enclosure ready for the break press, I ensure the files work the first time.
