As the SYNCCAD Fab team leader, I immersed in sheet metal design, precise CNC-ready file development, and 3D print optimization. These skills equipped me with a profound understanding of product design and manufacturing processes that range from material selection to final prototyping. For the last several years, most of our clients have preferred SolidWorks which has been our primary software. However, with your acceptance of Fusion 360, this is not an issue for us. Specifically illuminating my proficiency in the products you seek assistance in, my exposure to aluminum frame structures, folding mechanisms, and DFM experience have steadily risen throughout my professional experience. My grasp on mechanical systems can immensely contribute to intelligent designs that account for your unique project needs while minimizing possible issues that could arise during manufacturing or prototyping. Moreover, my history encompasses broad aspects of consumer products - right from hardware startups to prototype manufacturing. I've worked extensively with injection molding and fabrication which aligns well with the nature of your project. In summary, my extensive skills in 2D drafting, 3D modeling (alongside CAD/CAM proficiency), and mechanical engineering solidify me as the best-suited candidate for your project.

I can help create the 2D sketches, 3D model, and assembly drawings for your product design, manufacturing, and prototype development. I am Irish, now living in the Philippines, with 15+ years of mechanical design experience. I am an Autodesk Inventor specialist and a qualified metal fabricator, with strong experience in product design, aluminum frame structures, folding mechanisms, fabrication, outdoor equipment, consumer products, brackets, frames, hardware layouts, and prototype-ready CAD packages. For this project, I can work from your sketches, reference images, measurements, or concept notes and turn them into a clean mechanical design with practical DFM considerations. I can provide detailed 3D CAD models, 2D technical drawings, assembly drawings, STEP files, DWG/DXF files, PDF drawing packs, BOMs, fastener details, material notes, and manufacturing guidance. I also personally use a Bambu Lab 3D printer, so I understand prototype requirements such as wall thickness, clearances, tolerances, print orientation, fit testing, and design changes after first prototype review. My focus is to make the design functional, manufacturable, and suitable for real prototype production, not just a visual CAD model. I can provide relevant portfolio examples of mechanical assemblies, fabricated frames, product parts, enclosures, brackets, and production-ready drawings.
