About
I am a Mechanical CAD Designer and Draughtsperson with 5+ years of professional experience in 2D drafting, 3D modelling, plant design and manufacturing documentation across oil & gas, paper manufacturing and heavy industry.
I work with AutoCAD Plant 3D, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge and Navisworks to turn concepts, sketches, existing drawings and engineering requirements into accurate, practical CAD deliverables.
My experience includes 3D mechanical models, P&IDs, PFDs, General Arrangement drawings, piping layouts, isometric drawings, fabrication drawings, sheet metal designs, DXF files, skid designs and Bills of Materials.
I also have hands-on project experience involving field measurements, clash detection, drawing revisions, manufacturing, assembly, welding and workshop inspections. This allows me to design with real-world fabrication and installation requirements in mind.
I can help with:
• 2D CAD drafting and drawing conversion
• 3D mechanical modelling and assemblies
• Mechanical and manufacturing drawings
• Fabrication-ready drawings
• Plant 3D and piping layouts
• P&IDs, PFDs, GAs and isometrics
• Sheet metal and DXF drawings
• Bills of Materials
• Drawing revisions and CAD modifications
• Concept-to-manufacturing CAD development
If you have a sketch, PDF, existing drawing, 3D model or engineering concept, send me your requirements and I can help turn it into a professional CAD solution.
