Industrial Product Designer | DFM | Prototyping | 3D Printing
I turn early stage product ideas into designs a factory can actually build. A concept that looks impressive on screen is only half the job. The real work is making sure it holds up under load, fits the manufacturing process you're actually using, and doesn't blow your budget once tooling starts. Getting there takes someone who's comfortable across the whole technical side of product development: - Mechanical Design & Structural Analysis - Finite Element Analysis (FEA) - Design for Manufacturing (DFM) - Functional Prototyping - Tolerancing, Materials & Cost Control - Professional CAD Modeling - Inhouse 3D Printing I'm Sohaib, a certified Mechanical Engineer. For the past several years I've worked with startups, product teams, and manufacturers to take rough concepts and turn them into fully validated designs ready to hand off to a supplier. My work spans a wide mix of industries, including: - Consumer Electronics - Medical & Healthcare Devices - Industrial Equipment & Machinery - Robotics & Automated Systems - Smart Home Hardware - Automotive & Mobility Parts - Consumer & E-commerce Products - Custom Fixtures & Tooling - Crowdfunding & Startup Hardware Every project runs through a clear, repeatable process so nothing gets missed before it reaches production: - Feasibility Review & Concept Refinement - Detailed 3D CAD Modeling - Simulation & Stress Testing - Prototype Iteration - Manufacturing Readiness Checks - Technical Drawings & Tolerancing - Bill of Materials & Assembly Instructions - Direct Support During Vendor Handoff Here's what that actually means for you - Fewer surprises during production, since issues get caught digitally, before they cost you a failed batch - Designs built specifically for injection molding, CNC, or 3D printing, not adapted after the fact - A finished package your manufacturer can start working from immediately - Decisions driven by real numbers, wall thickness, tolerances, load limits, not just how it looks in a render - One person handling design and engineering together, so nothing gets lost between the two If you've got a concept that needs to become something real and buildable, send a message or an invite and we can figure out the right next step for it. Thanks for reading through, happy to help get your product where it needs to be. Sohaib #MechanicalEngineer #SolidWorks #ProductDesign #FEA #DFM #CATIA #FreeCAD#ANSYS
