Ahmed B.

Industrial Product Designer | Mechanical Engineer | Prototypes & DFM

Hi, I’m Ahmed, Product Designer, Mechanical Engineer, and the founder of Aformely. I help startups and companies turn ideas into manufacturable products. I specialize in mechanical design, industrial product design, CAD modelling, and DFM, with a strong focus on real-world manufacturing requirements. Whether you need a polished design for investors, a refined engineering CAD model, or a fully manufacturable product ready for prototyping, I can help. I combine engineering precision with design sensibility, ensuring your product not only looks great, but actually works, assembles, and can be produced cost-effectively. What I bring to your project ✔ Strong engineering background (not just visual design) ✔ Manufacturable, accurate, and detailed CAD models ✔ Fast turnarounds & excellent communication ✔ Experience working with hardware startups ✔ Ability to take concepts from idea → CAD → prototype ✔ Thoughtful, clean, user-centered industrial design ✔ A process built around clarity, collaboration & iteration My job is simple: to make product development faster, clearer, and easier for you. ⭐ My Core Skills 🔧 Mechanical Engineering & CAD Design - 3D modelling (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape) - Mechanical assemblies & mechanisms - Tolerancing, materials & structural considerations - Design optimization and problem-solving 🎨 Industrial & Product Design - Concept generation - Design iterations and visualization - CMF (Color, Material, Finish) - Ergonomics & user-centered design 🏭 Design for Manufacturing (DFM) - Injection molding DFM - CNC machining - Sheet metal fabrication - 3D printing optimization ⚙️ Prototyping - Rapid prototypes - 3D printed parts (FDM, SLA, SLS) - Iterative testing and refinement ⭐ Industries I Work With - Consumer products - Hardware startups - IoT & smart devices - Wearables - Robotics & mechanics - Medical & health concepts - Industrial equipment ⭐ How I Work 1. Understanding Your Requirements We start by clarifying your vision, constraints, and goals. 2. Concept Development I produce initial design routes for feedback. 3. CAD & Engineering I model refined, accurate, manufacturable CAD files. 4. Prototype Support I assist with 3D printing, testing, and iteration. 5. Final DFM Package You receive production-ready files and support transitioning to manufacturers. ⭐ Why Clients Choose Me - I deliver both design & engineering, not one or the other - I understand manufacturing deeply - I respond fast & communicate clearly - I take on complex, ambiguous problems - I genuinely care about getting your product right - My work is structured, reliable, and high quality - My goal is to become your long-term product development partner. If you need a reliable designer/engineer who can take your idea from concept to a manufacturable product, let’s talk. Send me a message with what you’re building. I’d love to help bring it to life.
