Carlos S.
Mechanical CAD Designer | Autodesk Inventor | Renders & Animations
Are you looking for a designer who does more than just create a 3D model, but develops a solution that is ready for manufacturing? My work consists of transforming ideas, sketches, and concepts into functional mechanical designs that are optimized for manufacturing and prepared to become real products. I’m Carlos Solano, a Mechanical/Industrial Designer and Mechatronics Technologist specializing in mechanical design, CAD modeling, and product visualization. I am also the National Champion of WorldSkills Colombia 2021 and the WorldSkills Americas 2021 Champion in Mechanical Engineering CAD, achievements that reflect my technical expertise and commitment to excellence. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with international clients on the development of mechanical parts, assemblies, machinery, mechanisms, technical documentation, photorealistic renderings, and animations for engineering, manufacturing, and product presentation projects. I don't just create 3D models. I analyze every project from an engineering perspective, considering manufacturability, functionality, and ease of production to deliver designs that add value from the conceptual stage through manufacturing. I can help you with: - Mechanical design and product development. - 3D CAD modeling of parts and assemblies. - Machinery and mechanism design. - Modification and optimization of existing designs. - Reverse engineering. - Manufacturing drawings and technical documentation. - Exploded views and Bills of Materials (BOM). - Conversion of 2D drawings into 3D models. - Photorealistic renderings for engineering and marketing. - Technical, assembly, and product functionality animations. Specialized Software: - Autodesk Inventor (Expert) - Autodesk Fusion 360 - Blender Deliverables: IPT • IAM • IDW • DWG • STEP • STL • DXF • PDF • GLB • JPG • PNG • MP4 Why work with me? Designs developed using real engineering and manufacturing principles. Clean, organized CAD models that are easy to modify and update. Clear technical documentation to streamline the manufacturing process. Consistent communication and project follow-up from start to finish. Commitment to quality, precision, and on-time delivery. If you're looking for a professional who understands both design and manufacturing processes and can support your project from the initial concept to the final deliverable, I'd be delighted to help. Let's take your engineering projects to the next level.
