Carlos R.
SolidWorks Mechanical Designer | DFM, GD&T & Production Drawings | CNC
Mechanical Designer with hands-on CNC manufacturing experience, specializing in production-ready 3D models, detailed drawings, GD&T, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). I help clients turn concepts, sketches, existing parts, or incomplete models into clear and manufacturable designs. My background combines CAD design with real shop-floor experience, allowing me to identify manufacturing issues before they become costly problems. My main services include: • Parametric 3D modeling and mechanical design • Manufacturing drawings with dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, notes, and section views • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for CNC machining, sheet metal, and mechanical assemblies • Reverse engineering from physical parts, photos, sketches, or reference dimensions • Assembly design, exploded views, BOMs, and part documentation • CAM support for CNC milling and turning operations Software experience: • SolidWorks — Mechanical design, assemblies, drawings, sheet metal, weldments, GD&T • Onshape — Parametric modeling, assemblies, drawings, and collaborative CAD workflows • Fusion 360 — Modeling, drawings, CAM preparation, and manufacturing workflows • Mastercam — CNC milling and turning programming • CAMWorks — SolidWorks-integrated CAM programming and machining strategies I am a Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) and Certified SolidWorks Professional in Drawing Tools (CSWPA-DT). I focus on clear communication, practical engineering decisions, and deliverables that are ready for manufacturing—not just visually correct models.
