Mechanical Design Engineer|DFM|3D Modeling specialist|3D printing|CAD

I'm a mechanical engineer and Top Rated freelancer helping startups, inventors, and product teams turn ideas and sketches into working prototypes and production-ready designs. I design with manufacturing in mind from the start, so you avoid costly mistakes and rework later. What I can do for you ✅ Sheet Metal Design for Manufacturing: enclosures, brackets, panels, and chassis, with flat patterns (DXF) ready for laser cutting and bending ✅ 3D Printing Design: models optimized for printing, including wall thickness, orientation, tolerances, and material selection, delivered as STL or STEP files ✅ Product & Prototype Design: from concept to a working prototype, with quick iterations based on your feedback ✅ 3D Modeling in Any Major CAD Software: SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Fusion 360, and Onshape, plus file conversion between formats ✅ Manufacturing Drawings: detailed 2D drawings with dimensions and tolerances, plus bills of materials How I work You send me a sketch, photo, reference, or description. I confirm the scope, timeline, and price before starting. I share progress along the way and make revisions based on your feedback. You receive clean, well-organized files ready for production or printing. Why clients choose me ✔ Engineering background, so designs are functional and not just good-looking ✔ Clear communication and reliable deadlines ✔ Experience across several CAD platforms, so I can work with your existing files To get started, message me with a short description of your project, any sketches or dimensions you have, and the material and quantity you're considering. I'll reply with questions and a quote.
