🔩 From Sketch to Validated Part — CAD, Carbon Fiber & Simulation I design parts that are built to perform — whether in aluminum, steel, or carbon fiber reinforced polymer. With a Master's in Automotive Engineering (GPA 1.49) and hands-on experience from motorsport, aerospace, and industry, I bring the full development chain to your project: concept, CAD, material selection, layup design, and FEM validation. ────────────────────────── 🏎️ Carbon Fiber — From Layup to Laminate Design ────────────────────────── My carbon fiber expertise goes beyond CAD. As department lead for the monocoque at Formula Student, I was responsible for the full manufacturing process — from hand layup and RTM to autoclave-cured prepregs. I know the practical differences between woven fabrics, UD tapes, non-crimp fabrics (NCF), and advanced materials like Textreme, and how those choices affect stiffness, weight, and producibility. At Carbon TT, I then acquired the engineering tools to back this up analytically — calculating and sizing CFRP structures under real load cases, accounting for anisotropic behavior, failure criteria, and manufacturing constraints. What this means for you: I can design your carbon fiber part and tell you how to build it. ────────────────────────── ⚙️ CAD — Clean, Manufacturable, Ready to Build ────────────────────────── I model in CATIA V5 and Autodesk Fusion 360, with Design for Manufacturing (DfM) as a guiding principle throughout. Surfaces, assemblies, parametric models — delivered clean and ready for 3D printing, CNC, or tooling. ────────────────────────── 📐 FEM — Validate Before You Prototype ────────────────────────── For projects that require structural confidence, I offer FEM validation as an integrated service: • Static & modal analysis (CATIA V5 GSD, PrePoMax/CalculiX) • Nonlinear & crash simulation (LS-DYNA) • Topology optimization for weight-efficient structures (Altair Inspire) This is the same toolchain used by OEMs and aerospace suppliers — now available for your freelance project. ────────────────────────── ✅ What You Can Expect ────────────────────────── • Focused, independent execution — you define the requirements, I deliver the result • Engineering judgment, not just modeling: DfM, material selection, and structural thinking built in • Clear documentation and technical drawings on request • Fast turnaround with reliable communication in English, German, or Spanish 🚀 Rising Talent | Available Now Let's build something that holds up — in every sense.
