Mechanical Product Design Engineer | SolidWorks, Fusion 360, FEA | DFM
Most product ideas don't fail in CAD. They fail when the first factory quote comes back. I design so that quote comes back clean. I'm a mechanical product design engineer working mainly in SolidWorks, with a strong focus on design for manufacturing (DFM). You bring a concept, a sketch, or a rough prototype. I give you production-ready 3D models and manufacturing drawings that a factory can quote and build without a string of follow-up questions. What I work on: • Product design and development, from first concept to manufacturing handoff • SolidWorks 3D parts, assemblies, and parametric models • Sheet metal and injection-molded parts • Enclosures for electronics and hardware products • Machine design and mechanical assemblies • Reverse engineering of existing parts • Prototype-ready designs for 3D printing and CNC machining What you get at handoff: • Native SolidWorks files and STEP exports • 2D manufacturing drawings with GD&T and tolerance analysis • BOM and supporting documentation for your manufacturer • DFM/DFMA review notes with clear changes to reduce cost and avoid redesigns after tooling • FEA and CFD (Ansys) to validate the design when the project needs it Industries Served: Agriculture & Agricultural Machinery, Medical Devices, Automotive, Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Robotics, Industrial Machinery, Consumer Products, Electronics, Construction, HVAC Systems, Renewable Energy, Marine Engineering, Manufacturing, Packaging, Furniture, Food Processing, Material Handling, Mining, Power Generation, Transportation, and Defense. My approach: Manufacturing questions get answered while the design is still on screen. Wall thickness, draft, bend radii, tolerance stack-ups, fasteners, assembly order, and material are all settled early, so nothing surprises you at quoting. The payoff is fewer revision rounds, cleaner quotes, and parts that are realistic to produce. I ask the important questions at the start and take revisions in stride. Best suited for: Hardware startups, product companies, and engineering teams who need production-ready CAD and drawings, not just a good-looking model. Tools: SolidWorks (primary), Fusion 360, Ansys (FEA/CFD validation) Ready to start? Send me your concept, sketches, CAD files, or drawings, along with your target process (sheet metal, injection molding, machining, or 3D printing) and the quantity you need. I'll reply with a clear plan, the changes I'd make for manufacturability, and how I'd approach your project. The first consultation is free.
