About
Detail-oriented CAD Drafting Technician specializing in 2D technical drawings, 3D modeling, and design for manufacturing (DFM). Experienced in transitioning architectural, mechanical, and fabrication concepts into precise, shop-ready production files.
Core Expertise:
2D/3D Technical Drafting: Comprehensive fabrication drawings, assembly layouts, orthographic views, and sheet metal layouts.
Manufacturing & Fabrication Ready: Production-ready DXF, DWG, and STEP file preparation for CNC cutting, laser cutting, and shop floor assembly.
Software Proficiency: AutoCAD, BricsCAD, FreeCAD (Parametric 3D Modeling & Open-Source CAD), and PDF-to-CAD vector conversions.
CAD Standards: Strict adherence to layer management, dimensioning standards, title block configurations, and geometrical tolerances.
Whether you need hand sketches digitized, paper drawings converted, or custom fabrication details drawn to exact tolerances, I focus on delivering clean, accurate CAD files right the first time.
