Services:
Ideation
Leveraging my experience to help you refine your idea for novelty, practicality, manufacturability, and scalability. (This can include an analysis of your value proposition and/or business model if applicable)
CAD Modeling
3D models of your product for each component and assembly with accurate dimensions, materials, and surface finishes. I use a parametric modeling approach to capture your design intent with critical features and to easily make changes as we progress through the project.
Animations | Renders
CAD model animations and images to show functionality, aesthetics, and features of a design.
Simulation & Analysis
Simulating loads, conditions, and environments on a design then using FEA to review its integrity.
Prototyping
Using rapid prototyping methods to create physical samples of your product for testing form, fit, function, ergonomics, and aesthetics. (This is typically an iterative process)
Technical Drawings
Engineering drawings for components and sub-assemblies. Detailed exploded views with BOM for all assemblies.
Provisional Patents
Detailed documents that contain the necessary information to protect your concept/product/innovation and to be used as a reference when drafting claims in a utility patent application. References to registered patent attorneys are also available.
Supplier Sourcing
Searching, vetting, negotiating, and working with various domestic and international component/product suppliers to build a robust supply chain for your product.
DFM (Design for Manufacturing)
​Updating your 3D model considering the chosen mass production technique. (e.g., draft angles, ribs, parting line, assembly procedure)
Assembly Documentation
Custom step-by-step instructions with CAD model diagrams for your chosen manufacturer to assemble your product.
