About

I am a mechanical CAD/CAM engineer specializing in reverse engineering, production-ready 3D modeling, manufacturing documentation, and CNC-oriented product development.

I reconstruct accurate editable CAD models from STL files, 3D scans, technical drawings, photographs, measurements, and existing physical parts. My work is based not only on reproducing visible geometry but also on understanding how the part is manufactured.

I design models according to real production processes, including turning, milling, drilling, stamping, bending, casting, injection molding, and multi-axis CNC machining.

My typical deliverables include:

• Editable parametric 3D models
• STEP and native CAD files
• CNC-ready DXF contours
• Assemblies and manufacturing drawings
• Geometry and tolerance verification
• Design-for-manufacturing review
• Preliminary manufacturing process recommendations

I work with SolidWorks, TopSolid CAM, KOMPAS-3D, AutoCAD, and Geomagic Design.

My experience includes industrial equipment, machining fixtures, injection-molded products, oil and gas equipment, automotive components, medical instruments, and custom mechanical products.

I focus on accurate geometry, manufacturability, clear communication, and reliable delivery. Before starting a project, I review the available source data, identify technical risks, and clearly define what level of accuracy can realistically be achieved.

Education

kharkiv national aerospace university Specialist degree, Mechanical Engineering — Aircraft Structures 1992 – 1998 Specialist-level mechanical engineering education focused on aircraft structures and airframe design.

The 5.5-year program included structural mechanics, strength of materials, aircraft structural design, machine components, engineering drawings, manufacturing technology, materials, tolerances, production processes, and design analysis.

Qualification: Mechanical Engineer, Aircraft Structures.

Other experience

Manufacturing-Oriented Reverse Engineering Practical experience in reconstructing mechanical parts and assemblies from incomplete or non-parametric source data.

Projects include reconstruction from STL meshes, scanned geometry, technical drawings, photographs, measurements, and existing components.

The engineering approach is based on identifying the probable original manufacturing process and restoring functional design intent rather than producing only visually similar geometry.

Typical deliverables include STEP models, editable CAD files, DXF manufacturing contours, drawings, assemblies, tolerance checks, and preliminary manufacturing process recommendations.
