I will design custom drone frames and uav mechanical cad models


About this gig
Are you developing a custom quadcopter, hexacopter, fixed-wing, or VTOL platform? Building a reliable drone starts with a lightweight, high-strength airframe tailored to your specific propulsion system and electronics.
As a mechanical engineer specializing in UAV hardware, I create custom drone frames, structural airframes, and manufacturing-ready CAD models optimized for CNC carbon fiber cutting, 3D printing, and aluminum machining.
Services Offered
- Custom multirotor (quad, hex, octo), fixed-wing, and VTOL frame designs
- Flat-plate carbon fiber nesting & CNC cut preparation
- 3D printable arms, TPU landing gear, and protective electronics canopy enclosures
- Structural layout optimization for motor spacing, prop clearance, and Center of Gravity (CoG)
- Hardware integration (press nuts, standoffs, motor bolt patterns, battery straps)
Why Choose This Gig?
- Strength-to-Weight Focus: Designed to minimize overall takeoff weight while resisting flight vibration and arm deflection.
- Manufacturing Ready: Carbon fiber parts are formatted directly for CNC cutting; 3D parts are optimized for FDM/SLS printing.
- Parametric CAD: Native parametric models designed in SolidWorks for easy future adjustments.

FAQ
Q: Do you supply 2D cut files for carbon fiber manufacturers?
A: Yes. I provide clean 2D .DXF files with correct 1:1 scale and geometry, formatted specifically for carbon fiber CNC router or laser cutting services.
Q: Can you design custom motor mounts or arm mechanisms?
A: Absolutely. I design custom motor plates for standard bolt patterns (e.g., 16x16, 19x19, 30x30) as well as folding arm mechanisms for compact transport.
Q: What software do you use for modeling?
A: I design primary parametric models using SolidWorks and deliver native .SLDPRT/.SLDASM files along with universal .STEP and .DXF formats.
