As a Senior 3D CAD Designer, I collaborated with engineering teams, product developers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs to transform concepts into accurate, production-ready designs. The company frequently encountered challenges with incomplete product concepts, outdated 2D drawings, inconsistent CAD models, and lengthy design revision cycles, which affected production timelines and increased manufacturing costs. My primary responsibility was to create high-precision 3D CAD models, detailed mechanical assemblies, technical drawings, and manufacturing documentation that met engineering and industry standards. I worked on product design, design optimization, reverse engineering, sheet metal components, and assemblies while preparing files for CNC machining, injection molding, laser cutting, and 3D printing. I also reviewed existing designs to improve manufacturability, reduce material waste, and enhance product performance. To address these challenges, I implemented structured CAD modeling workflows, standardized design practices, and improved communication between design and production teams. By optimizing components before manufacturing, I reduced unnecessary revisions, accelerated product development, and improved design accuracy. My contributions helped deliver reliable, production-ready CAD solutions, shorten project turnaround times, lower production costs, and increase client satisfaction across multiple engineering and manufacturing projects.
