Have a part, assembly or structure that needs to be designed, documented, and validated? I will take it from concept to a finished, production ready product, with the engineering behind every decision. I am a mechanical engineer working in both SolidWorks and Fusion 360. My work stands on three pillars: Real engineering, not just modeling: I think about loads, materials, tolerances, and how the part will actually perform before you commit to production. FEA stress simulation, safety factors, sheet metal with proper K-factor, and design decisions backed by reasoning. Production grade shop and technical drawings: fully dimensioned, GD&T where it matters, proper datum schemes, BOMs, dual units (mm/inch), and title blocks following ISO and ASME standards. The kind of drawing a machine shop can build from without a single question. 3D printing: from prototype to finished product, I design parts specifically for 3D printing (FDM and resin), accounting for print tolerances, overhangs, snap-fits, and material behavior so the part fits and works on the first print. I iterate through prototypes and refine until it's a clean, functional, ready to manufacture product. Models that pass vendor DFM checks (JLCPCB and similar). I also do reverse engineering, rebuilding existing or discontinued parts from photos, measurements, or rough sketches into clean, fully parametric CAD models you can edit and manufacture. My portfolio shows this depth: a complete horse cart with all sheet metal components (bends, flanges, proper K-factor), full constrained assemblies, chassis FEA stress analysis, reverse-engineered replacement parts modeled from photos alone, fabrication drawing sets for industrial piping and CNC-machined parts, and functional 3D-printed enclosures designed with print tolerances in mind. These aren't simple parts, they require thinking like an engineer, not just a modeler. What I deliver: – SolidWorks & Fusion 360 native files (.SLDPRT / .SLDASM / .SLDDRW / .f3d) – Fully dimensioned shop & technical drawings with GD&T (ISO / ANSI / ASME) – Reverse engineering from photos, sketches, or physical measurements – BOMs, revision tables, and shop-ready title blocks – Sheet metal flat patterns and bend tables – 3D-print-ready models (FDM & resin) with proper tolerances and DFM – Export-ready formats: STEP, IGES, STL, DXF – FEA stress, displacement & safety factor reports – Clear revision process and fast turnaround If you can describe it, I can model, validate, document, and manufacture it. Let's talk.
