Ciaran C.
Industrial Designer | Designed for Manufacture
Hi! I am Ciaran and I’m an Irish, engineer by trade with 5+ years of experience in product development and design, working with both multinational companies and start-ups, with a particular focus on medical devices and medical simulation. I specialise in taking products from an initial idea through to a functional, manufacturable design. My experience covers concept development, 3D CAD, prototyping, design for manufacture, technical drawings and product development. What I can help with: * Product design and development * 3D CAD modelling and assemblies * Concept development and refinement * Design for manufacture (DFM) * Rapid prototyping and 3D printing * Functional prototypes * Technical drawings and manufacturing files * Product visualisation and rendering * Medical devices and healthcare products * Medical simulation and training products My engineering background means I approach design with both the user and manufacturing process in mind. I focus on creating products that not only look good, but function properly, are practical to manufacture and can withstand real-world use. Software: Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Blender, ZBrush, KeyShot, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Inkscape, Vizcom, MATLAB and Minitab. Whether you have an early-stage concept, a CAD model that needs developing, or a product that needs to be taken towards manufacturing, I can help turn the idea into a functional, production-ready product.
