About me
I design 3D models that are built to print, not just look good. With 10+ years in automotive tool design using Cimatron, plus self-taught Blender experience, I create parts with real-world performance in mind. I specialize in functional designs, STL repair, pegboard systems, and custom saint statues. Every model is optimized for FDM printing with strong geometry, clean tolerances, and minimal supports. If you have an idea or a broken file, I’ll turn it into something that actually works.... Read more

Work experience

CAD Designer

Proper Tooling • Full-time

Mar 2011 - Feb 202311 yrs 11 mos

Started my career operating and programming CNC machines, gaining hands-on experience with machining processes, toolpaths, and precision manufacturing. This foundation allowed me to develop a strong understanding of how parts are actually made, not just designed. From there, I advanced into plastic injection mold design, working with complex tooling, tight tolerances, and production-focused design requirements. This progression gave me a full-spectrum understanding of both machining and mold design, with a focus on functionality, durability, and real-world performance.

    This is my sixth order with this digital artist, but the first time pushing him into a completely new territory — a custom architectural figure instead of his usual religious statues. He was upfront about this being outside his main specialization but was genuinely excited to take on the challenge. The...

    This is already the fifth model I’ve ordered, and each time I’m genuinely impressed by the quality of the work. What stands out most is the attention to small details — the level of refinement is extremely precise and carefully executed. I would also like to highlight the excellent communication throughout...

    Second order — and a second perfect result. The creator made a high-quality STL file from a photo, preserving all the details and adapting the model for successful printing. As the work progressed, I had additional requests — all of them were addressed promptly. Multiple versions were presented, and...

    The initial model he created was already great and when I pointed out a specific detail I wanted added, he didn’t hesitate and created that part to my exact specifications.
