About
I am a Mechanical Design Engineer based in Levice, Slovakia, with experience in machine design, production engineering, manufacturing, and technical documentation.
I help clients turn concepts, sketches, existing parts, and technical requirements into production-ready 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings.
My services include:
• 3D part and assembly modeling
• Sheet metal and welded structure design
• Production drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and assembly documentation
• Machine components, mechanisms, guards, fixtures, and pneumatic systems
• Design for CNC machining, laser cutting, bending, welding, and assembly
• Existing design improvements and conversion of 2D drawings into 3D models
• Prototype development and 3D-printing preparation
• CAD workflow automation using Autodesk Inventor and iLogic
I work primarily with SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor, including large assemblies, sheet metal, PDM-controlled documentation, configurations, model states, and automated engineering workflows.
My project experience includes grinding-machine retrofits, modular machine systems, machine guarding, retractable doors, tailstocks, drive-shaft supports, coolant covers, cable carriers, pneumatic units, and production fixtures.
I am available for individual CAD tasks, complete mechanical design projects, and long-term remote cooperation. I value clear communication, practical engineering, realistic deadlines, and designs that can actually be manufactured.
