CAD Designer - Mechanical Prototype Design for Non-Technical Founders
I help non-technical founders, inventors, and entrepreneurs turn rough ideas into functional, manufacturable mechanical prototypes. If you have an idea, sketch, or concept but don’t know how to turn it into a real product that actually works — that’s where I come in. I focus on function first: Parts that assemble correctly Designs that can be prototyped (3D printing / basic manufacturing) Practical engineering decisions, not just “nice-looking” CAD You don’t need to speak engineering. I translate your idea into a working mechanical solution. Typical projects I work on: Early-stage product prototypes Mechanical parts that don’t fit or don’t work as expected Improving manual or inefficient physical processes Design fixes before manufacturing What you get: Clean, functional CAD models Assembly-ready designs Engineering thinking behind every decision Clear communication, no unnecessary meetings If your goal is a prototype that works in the real world, not just on screen I can help
