Daniel S.

I specialize in Mechanical Engineering and Product Design

I'm a mechanical engineer with 12 years of Solidworks experience and over 10 years of manufacturing industry experience in product design, machine design, design for manufacture/assembly. I've also worked on a lot of projects involving industrial automation equipment, such as robots, pick-and-place systems, and material feeding mechanisms. The components I design are usually parts of complex assemblies requiring careful dimensioning and tolerancing to ensure proper fit and function. My hands-on industry experience combined with my broad knowledge of manufacturing processes (see my test score below) are my greatest assets, allowing me to look at the big picture and solve complex design problems. I specialize in helping you get your product idea ready for full scale manufacture at any stage of the process, whether you're starting with a napkin sketch or a 3D printed prototype. The services I offer include but are not limited to the following: -Product engineering and design -3D printing/rapid prototyping -3D solid models -3D printable files -2D engineering drawings/manufacturing prints -Mechanical drafting -Patent drawings -Design feasibility analysis -Reverse engineering If you're interested in working with me, or simply learning more about the services I can offer, let's talk! We'll start by going over the details of your project (size, features, scope, goals, timeline, etc.), then once we agree on the terms we can set up a contract and I'll get to work. I'll produce the deliverables (reports, models, drawings, etc.), make changes as needed, then when you're satisfied with the results we can close the contract or move on to the next step.
