Brian R.

Mechanical Design Engineer | Solidworks | Fusion 360

My passion is finding design solutions for your complex applications. I have 18 years of experience working as a mechanical engineer. My strengths are: • 3D CAD Design of : - machined components - sheet metal components - plastic injection molded components - 3D Printed components • Product design - small complex machines - ease of assembly and mfg - cost reduction and design efficiency • Design for Rapid Prototyping + R&D - design iterations - "fail fast" approach to find what works quickly - risk reduction through prototyping • Technical Drawings for manufacturing - dimensions and tolerances - tolerance stack up + GD&T - simple "shop" drawings or complete production grade drawings • Design Renderings - Apply finishes/textures/color to 3D CAD models - Using software to generate photo-realisitic images of the design - Renderings are valuable for presentions or promotions I am an inventor on ~10 US patents from my design work across my career.
