For Makers & Hobbyists:

Have an idea but not sure where to start? I help you refine concepts, create CAD models, and produce prototypes.

For Artists:

Turn sculptures, installations, or kinetic art into engineered, buildable designs.

For Inventors:

Confidential concept development, proof‑of‑concept builds, and patent‑ready drawings.

For Small Engineering Firms:

Flexible freelance CAD capacity when you need it — SolidWorks, 2D drawings, assemblies, and documentation.

  • Engineer viewing 3D CAD model of mechanical part on computer screen.

    Mechanical Design & Engineering

    From initial concepts to production-ready designs. I design enclosures for electronic devices, complete assemblies, test fixtures, jigs and systems across various industries including electronics, computing, and automotive electronic components.

  • A person working on a laptop with CAD software open, displaying a detailed 3D model of a mechanical part, with a plant, glasses, a notebook, and a phone on the wooden desk.

    3D CAD Modelling

    Accurate CAD models for components and assemblies.
    I create high-quality 3D CAD models utilising SolidWorks.

  • Technical engineering drawing with measurements, a pencil, and a yellow eraser on top.

    2D Drawings for Manufacturing

    Creation of detailed technical drawings for production of mechanical components and complete assembly drawings and instructions for manufacturing.

  • A Bambú Lab 3D printer with a digital control panel, placed on a wooden table in a workshop. In the foreground, there are colorful dragon and animal figurines, some partially Machined, on the table. The background features wooden shelves, tools, and a wall with a few saws hanging.

    3D Printing (FDM & SLA Prototyping)

    Rapid prototyping to test form, fit, and function.
    Using my in-house printers, including Bambu Labs X1C, X1E (for engineering materials), H2S (for lager prints), and Formlabs Form 2, providing both FDM and SLA capabilities.

  • A Creality 3D laser engraving machine on a wooden table, engraving a branch and leaves design on a wooden surface.

    Laser Cutting & Engraving

    Wood-based prototyping and decorative applications.
    I provide custom wood laser cutting and engraving for both decretive, functional and creative projects.
