Evgeny B.

I take hardware products from a first prototype to parts a factory can build: DFM/DFMA for injection molding, CNC and sheet metal, tolerance stack-ups, production drawings and small-series production in our own facility in Porto, EU, and at our partners in China. ✅ WHY CLIENTS HIRE US - 15+ years in product development, including automotive interior parts for VW, Skoda, Seat, and Ford, from concept to start of production. - Ford-trained in APQP/PPAP and supplier APQP: I speak the language of toolmakers and serial manufacturers. - Founder of ProCrea (since 2017): an engineering team with in-house prototyping (3D printing, CNC) and small-series injection molding in Porto, Portugal, plus vetted manufacturing partners in Europe and China for large volumes. - 98 Upwork jobs, 2,300+ hours, 100% Job Success. 1️⃣ DFM / DFMA AND ADAPTATION FOR MASS PRODUCTION - Review of your CAD or prototype for injection molding, CNC, sheet metal or casting - Wall thickness, draft, ribs, bosses, snap-fits, gates and parting lines; Moldflow check - Fewer parts and simpler assembly (DFA) - Tolerance stack-ups, datum schemes and GD&T drawings (ISO GPS / ASME Y14.5) - D-FMEA, material selection and cost drivers - Toolmaker and supplier selection from our vetted partners in Europe and China, RFQ packages, T1 sample and first-article review - Small-series injection molding in Porto: for example, 1,000 PA6 parts from a €1,200 mold, 7x cheaper per part than 3D printing 2️⃣ NEW PRODUCT AND ASSEMBLY DEVELOPMENT - From a sketch, idea or prototype to a fully engineered 3D assembly - Mechanisms and cam curves; enclosures for electronics (PCB stacks, IP protection, light leakage, cable management) - FEA (structural, thermal, contact) for critical parts - Every part designed for a specific process and volume from day one, so there is no redesign later - Functional prototypes built and tested in our workshop 🧲 HOW WE WORK - New or innovative products: a fixed-price discovery phase (specification, concept, main risks), then time & materials with weekly caps and progress reports. - Well-defined tasks (DFM review, redesign for injection molding, production drawing package): a clear fixed price and deadline. Or book a 30-minute call and get the main manufacturing risks of your part before you pay for tooling. Industries: consumer hardware and IoT, drones and robotics, automotive, medical device prototypes, aerospace components. Tools: SolidWorks, CATIA V5, ANSYS and SolidWorks Simulation, Moldflow, IQ-FMEA, PolyWorks (CT and scan data), MS Project, Jira. WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Evgeny has been great to work with, always trying to find good solutions for product design and engineering." "Evgeny is a very talented engineer/designer and adds his own ideas that help make the prototype better, definitely would work with him again!" Send me your CAD files or photos of your prototype and your target volume. I will reply with the main production risks and a fixed quote.
