CAD designer specializing in 3D modeling, mechanical design, and STL file creation using SOLIDWORKS for 3D printing and product development applications. Skilled in transforming concepts, sketches, reference images, and technical ideas into precise, high-quality 3D CAD models suitable for prototyping, manufacturing, and visualization purposes. Worked on designing a wide range of components including mechanical parts, product enclosures, assemblies, industrial components, functional prototypes, consumer products, and customized printable models. Focused on creating accurate and dimensionally optimized models that meet engineering standards and client requirements for functionality, manufacturability, and production readiness. Developed professional STL files optimized specifically for FDM and resin 3D printing processes, ensuring clean geometry, watertight meshes, proper tolerances, and print-ready structures. Experienced in preparing models for efficient printing by reducing support requirements, improving print orientation, and optimizing wall thickness and structural stability. Created parametric CAD models and assemblies with detailed attention to dimensions, fitment, and motion functionality. Performed modifications and revisions based on client feedback while maintaining model integrity and engineering accuracy. Assisted clients in converting 2D sketches, hand drawings, PDFs, and images into detailed 3D models and technical CAD representations. Demonstrated strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, geometric dimensioning, tolerances, and manufacturing considerations during the design process. Utilized SolidWorks tools for part modeling, sheet metal design, surface modeling, assemblies, rendering, and drafting documentation.
