Additive Manufacturing Design, Prototyping, and Low-Volume Production
Independent engineering support for teams needing fast iteration, DfAM guidance, or production-ready additive workflows.
Services
-
I help teams evaluate a family of parts and build a complete additive manufacturing pathway—from feasibility through validation and supplier-ready production.
Support includes:DfAM evaluation and part-family feasibility analysis
Material and process selection across polymer and metal AM
Developing mechanical, environmental, and functional test plans
Prototype builds for early performance evaluation
Preparing supplier-ready documentation and production workflows
-
Transforming ideas into manufacturable, print-ready designs optimized for accuracy, strength, surface quality, and cost.
Support includes:
DfAM-driven redesign and feature optimization
Geometry refinement for printability and performance
Reverse engineering and CAD modeling
Topology and generative design for weight or efficiency improvements
-
Fast, functional prototypes that help teams validate design intent before committing to tooling or production.
Support includes:Converting concepts into manufacturable CAD
Selecting the right AM process and material
Incorporating 3D scanning for legacy or modified parts
Producing polymer or metal prototypes
Fit, assembly, and functional validation
-
Accurate, high-resolution part capture to support redesign, replacement, or additive adaptation.
Support includes:Precision scanning of complex geometries
Mesh cleanup, alignment, and dimensional analysis
•Scan-to-CAD conversion for modification or reproduction
Fit verification and tolerance assessment
Digitizing legacy or out-of-production components
-
Technical expertise to troubleshoot, optimize, or qualify additive workflows.
Support includes:
Root-cause analysis and print recovery
Orientation, support strategy, and scaling compensation
DOE-driven process tuning
CT-based corrective actions and CAD compensation
Machine, vendor, and workflow evaluation
-
If you need functional polymer components or tooling aids, I can design, print, and deliver small-batch builds:
Assembly tools, fixtures, ergonomic aids
Flexible components (grommets, diaphragms, seals)
Precision polymer parts
Hybrid assemblies combining polymer + metal
-
I help teams new to additive manufacturing ramp up quickly.
Training options include:DfAM best practices
Additive workflow development
Design reviews and print file preparation
Photopolymer/LPBF troubleshooting
Material behavior and qualification basics
Business-case development
Representative Work
Editing the Mesh
Holes were filled
Optimized and simplified mesh allowing for easy manipulation in Fusion360
Cutting and Alignment
Cutting the Scan in half for mirroring in Fusion360
This also aligns the cut plan with the global coordinate system
Adding features
Converting .stl into body
Orreinting in Fusion360
Mirroring surfaces and adding accurate interfacing features
