I will be your mechanical engineer for dfm, cad assemblies and gdt


About this gig
If you are a hardware startup, an inventor, or a company looking to take a concept into mass production, you need an engineering review before manufacturing.
I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with 4 years of experience in the automotive industry, designing mechatronic components and P or P+T sensors for heavy-duty and commercial vehicles. I specialize in bridging the gap between a conceptual CAD model and a fully manufacturable, production-ready product.
What I will do for your design:
- DFM Analysis: Draft angle verification, uniform wall thickness checks, rib-to-wall ratios, boss design, and sink mark prevention.
- CAD Optimization: Direct modification of your SolidWorks or STEP files to resolve manufacturing bottlenecks, eliminate impossible undercuts, and ensure proper tool parting lines.
- Professional 2D GD&T Drawings: Creation of strict manufacturing drawings defining tolerances, datums, to ensure your parts assemble perfectly in real life.
Why choose me? I apply rigorous Tier-1 and OEM automotive engineering standards, DFMEA principles, and root-cause analysis to ensure structural integrity and improve your manufacturing costs.

FAQ
What file formats do you need to start the DFM analysis?
To perform a thorough analysis and make CAD updates, I prefer native SolidWorks files (.SLDPRT / .SLDASM) or high-quality neutral formats like .STEP or .IGES. Please also provide any specific material requirements or manufacturer constraints
What exactly do you check during the Injection Molding DFM review?
I evaluate the core constraints of plastic injection: sufficient draft angles for ejection, uniform wall thickness to prevent warping, proper rib and boss dimensions to avoid sink marks, and I identify undercuts that would require e
Will my product idea remain confidential?
Absolutely. I operate under strict professional engineering ethics. Your intellectual property is completely safe, and I am more than happy to sign your Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before you share any files.
Do you design products completely from scratch?
This specific Gig is focused on optimizing and preparing existing 3D concepts for manufacturing. However, I do offer full-cycle product design and top-down assembly structuring. If you need a design from scratch, please message me for a custom offer.
