I will develop your product idea into a manufacturable design
Level 1
About this gig
Have a product idea but need help turning it into a functional design?
I help turn ideas, sketches and technical problems into functional 3D CAD designs with real-world manufacturing in mind.
I can help you with:
Product concept development
Mechanical design & problem solving
Functional parts & mechanisms
Enclosures, housings & assemblies
Design for 3D printing, CNC & manufacturing
Design improvements & optimization
Manufacturing-ready 3D CAD
I work with SolidWorks and Fusion 360 to develop practical products that are designed not only to look good, but to function and be manufacturable.
You can start with a sketch, reference image, rough concept or simply a problem that needs solving.
Need a prototype or small production run?
Message me to discuss the possibilities after the design is completed.
Every product development project is different. Please contact me before ordering so we can determine the right scope and package for your project.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
What do you need to start developing my product?
A sketch, reference image, dimensions, existing files or a written explanation of your idea is enough to get started. The more information you can provide about the product's function and requirements, the better.
Can you work from just an idea or rough sketch?
Yes. You don't need an existing CAD model. I can help turn a rough idea, sketch or technical problem into a functional product design.
Will the product be designed for manufacturing?
Yes. Manufacturing is considered throughout the design process. Depending on the project, the design can be developed for methods such as 3D printing, CNC machining or other suitable manufacturing processes.
What files will I receive?
Depending on your package, you can receive editable CAD source files and common formats such as STEP, SLDPRT, SLDASM, STL and PDF documentation.
Can you also create a physical prototype?
Yes, depending on the product. Prototype manufacturing can be discussed separately after or during the design process. Please contact me for a custom quote.
Can you help with small-series production?
Yes. For suitable projects, I can help take the product beyond the design stage and discuss prototype or small-series production. Contact me to discuss quantities, materials and manufacturing requirements.
