About
I am a CAD designer and reverse engineering specialist with 15+ years in manufacturing and engineering, including 7+ years of hands-on 3D scanning, scan-to-CAD modeling and production drawings for industrial clients in Saudi Arabia.
I started my career on the shop floor as a tool and die maker and machinist (CNC and conventional lathe, milling, boring), so every model and drawing I deliver is designed to be manufactured, not just to look right on screen.
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
- Reverse engineering: turn worn, broken or legacy parts into accurate, editable SolidWorks models, even with no original drawings
- 3D scanning and mesh processing: FARO Arm, Artec Leo and ATOS GOM scan data, alignment, merging and mesh repair in Geomagic Design X
- Scan-to-CAD: parametric solids and surfaced models with deviation maps to prove accuracy against the scan
- Complex surfaces: pump impellers, volute casings, diffusers, fan blades and freeform castings
- 2D manufacturing drawings: fully dimensioned, with tolerances, sections and details, ready for the machine shop
- Sheet metal and weldments: flat patterns, bend tables, weldment cut lists and fabrication drawings for laser cutting, CNC punching and bending
PARTS I HAVE WORKED ON
Pump impellers and volute casings, gearbox housings, helical gears, splined shafts, couplings and flanges, valve and actuator assemblies, relief valves, bearing housings, burners, pulleys and large fan rotors, for power, petrochemical and industrial maintenance applications.
CERTIFICATIONS
SolidWorks CSWA, CSWP, CSWP Weldments, CSWP Drawing Tools, CSWP Sheet Metal and Surfacing.
SOFTWARE
SolidWorks, Geomagic Design X, FARO scanning software, Artec Studio, GOM Inspect.
WHY WORK WITH ME
- Manufacturing-minded designs from someone who has machined parts himself
- Clear communication in English and Urdu, with progress updates
- Native SolidWorks files plus STEP, IGES, STL and PDF on request
- Fast turnaround and revisions until the model matches your requirements
Send me your part, photos, sketch or scan data and I will tell you the best way to get it into accurate CAD.

Tool & Die Maker / CNC Machinist
Hafiz Engineering Works · Full-time
Jan 2010 –
Jun 2019
9 yrs 5 mos
Karachi, Pakistan
- Manufactured press tools, dies, molds, jigs and fixtures from engineering drawings
- Operated CNC and conventional machines: lathe, milling, boring, line boring and sawing
- Machined and repaired shafts, housings, couplings and other heavy machinery parts
- Read and interpreted drawings, tolerances and fits; checked parts with precision measuring instruments
- Ran defect analysis reporting: root cause analysis, countermeasures and mistake-proofing (similar to NCR/CAR)
- Inspected welding jobs on fabricated components
Education
- Eastern Institute of Technical Skills (EITS) Diploma of Associate Engineer (DAE), 3 Years, Mechanical Engineering, A+ (82.1%) 2010 – 2013 Activities and Societies: Workshop training at Bright Technical Center of Modern Sciences (BTCMS), EITS training campus Three-year Diploma of Associate Engineer in Mechanical Engineering, covering engineering drawing, machine design, workshop technology, materials and manufacturing processes. Completed with A+ grade.
- Karachi Tools, Dies & Moulds Centre (KTDMC) One Year Specialized Diploma, Dies and Moulds Technology, Passed 2008 – 2009 Activities and Societies: Hands-on workshop training in press tools, dies and moulds Specialized training in press tool, die and mould design and manufacturing, affiliated with the Sindh Board of Technical Education (SBTE), Karachi.
Other experience
- Quality Control & Root Cause Analysis Worked with a defect analysis reporting system in production: root cause analysis, corrective countermeasures and mistake-proofing (poka-yoke), similar to NCR/CAR. Also verify CAD models against 3D scan data using color deviation maps, so the parts I design can be checked against real measurements.
- Weld Inspection & Penetrant Testing (NDT) Hands-on visual weld inspection and liquid penetrant testing (PT) of industrial components during reverse engineering and repair projects, plus inspection of welding jobs on fabricated parts in the workshop. This helps me design weldments and fabrication drawings that are practical to weld and easy to inspect.
