Akif D.

SolidWorks Expert | Sheet Metal Design | DXF | 3D & 2D CAD

Hi, I’m Akif Dilshad. I specialize in designing sheet metal parts and mechanical enclosures — all delivered with production-ready drawings, DXF files, and simulations when needed. From clean CAD models to real-world fabrication files, I provide precise, cost-effective, and shop-floor-friendly designs. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, I have 5+ years of hands-on experience designing manufacturable products using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and CAM/CNC tools. 🔧 WHAT I OFFER 3D Mechanical Design using SolidWorks 🔹 Sheet Metal Design with flat patterns & bending standards 🔹 DXF file creation for laser cutting and CNC routing 🔹 2D Manufacturing Drawings with GD&T and material specifications 🔹 CNC Nesting for plywood, foam, and metal (NestingWorks) 🔹 Flight & ATM Case Design optimized for strength and transport 🔹 Bill of Materials (BOM) Generation for accurate part sourcing and planning 🔹 Exploded Views for assembly guides and client documentation 🔹 Image Tracing for Logo Engraving – vector conversion for clean CNC engraving 🔹 Rendering with KeyShot for product listings or client approvals 🔹 Basic FEA Simulations – stress, buckling, fatigue, and heat 🔩 DESIGN THAT WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD My designs aren't just for show — they are made for real fabrication: I consider bending rules, clearances, and standard tooling I create modular assemblies with logical part hierarchies I prepare drawings that shop-floor workers can easily follow I apply DFM/DFA principles so that parts are easy to build and assemble Having worked closely with fabrication teams, CNC machine operators, and industrial clients, I know how to bridge the gap between design and reality. 🧠 TOOLS I USE ✅ SolidWorks (Sheet Metal, CAM, PDM) ✅ NestingWorks (for CNC panel layout) ✅ AutoCAD (2D Drafting and Cleanup) ✅ KeyShot (Rendering) ✅ Ansys (Simulations – basic) Alongside my freelance projects, I bring valuable in-house engineering experience from the manufacturing sector: 🛠 WORK EXPERIENCE 🟢 Project Engineer – Millat Tractors Led technical design projects with a strong focus on manufacturable parts and CAD development. 🟢 Design Engineer – Keyway Solutions Created 3D models, production drawings, and nesting layouts for plywood and foam components. Specializing in flight case assemblies and CNC automation. 🤝 WHY CHOOSE ME ✔ Deep experience in mechanical design and CAD ✔ Real-world fabrication knowledge (not just design theory) ✔ Reliable communication, clean file delivery ✔ Able to take rough sketches or ideas and turn them into production-ready models ✔ Committed to on-time and accurate results Whether you need help preparing manufacturing drawings, optimizing your CNC layouts, or designing from scratch, I’m here to support your engineering goals with precision, speed, and a commitment to quality. Let’s talk about your project. — Akif Dilshad
