Sketch to CAD | DFM Review | Production-Ready CAD & Drawings

✅ Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) - government-certified under Engineers Nova Scotia ✅ 100% Job Success | Top Rated - 100+ completed projects ✅ 8+ years in production manufacturing - Michelin North America, Protocase (4 years), Outdoor-Fit, Neocon International ✅ Delivered production-ready CAD and fabrication-ready drawing packages (CAD + drawings + BOM) for 8+ clients in North America and the UK ✅ SolidWorks Certified - Sheet Metal + Weldments | GD&T per ASME Y14.5 | Full supplier quoting package handoff ✅ The clients who hire me - hardware founders who need a sketch or concept turned into production-ready CAD, and engineering teams who need overflow capacity without the hiring overhead I'm a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) based in Nova Scotia, Canada, with 8+ years of experience in production-focused mechanical design at Michelin's North American manufacturing facility, at Protocase (4 years, programming laser cutters and press brakes, running CMM inspection, delivering custom enclosures and fabricated parts), at Neocon International (drafting for injection molding, designing overmolding tooling for automotive production parts), and at Outdoor-Fit (heavy-duty outdoor fitness equipment from concept to production). The problem I solve consistently: product teams move toward tooling before the design is ready. Tolerances are undefined. Drawings can't be quoted. Suppliers return with more questions than answers. I close that gap with a DFM review built into every file, so you get a fabrication-ready package a manufacturer can actually work with, not a file they have to interpret. Who I work with: - Hardware founders who have a sketch, concept, or rough prototype and need it turned into a supplier quoting package - Engineering teams that are overloaded and need a capable resource who can pick up a scope and deliver without handholding What you get: - Sketch to CAD: production-ready SolidWorks models with real-world tolerances and fit - 2D drawings with GD&T (ASME Y14.5), critical dimensions, notes, and revision discipline - BOMs, fastener specs, and assembly guidance - DFM review: cost drivers, tolerance stack-up, risk flags, design simplification - Fabrication-ready flat pattern DXFs, STEP files, and PDF drawings, questions pre-answered for quoting - Injection mold and overmolding tooling design Tools: SolidWorks (Sheet Metal, Weldments, Assemblies) Processes: Sheet metal fabrication | CNC machining | Injection molding | Weldments | 3D printing
