CAD DesignFrom Idea to Drawing
I work from wherever you are -- a verbal description, a sketch on paper, or an existing model that needs rework. The deliverable is whatever your next step requires: a reference model for a prototype shop, or a fully toleranced drawing package ready for production.

Verbal description
You explain what you need, I ask the right questions, and we get to a defined scope before any modeling starts.
Sketch or napkin drawing
A rough sketch with key dimensions is enough to start. I fill in the engineering details as we go.
2D drawings
Existing 2D drawings -- even hand-drafted -- translate directly into 3D models and updated drawing packages.
Existing 3D model
If you have a model that needs rework, tolerancing, or production prep, I work from what you have rather than starting over.
Deliverables scoped to your next step
Not every project needs the same output. A prototype shop needs a model and a basic reference drawing. A production supplier needs full GD&T callouts, tolerances, material specifications, and surface finish requirements. The deliverable is defined in the contract upfront so there are no gaps when you hand off to manufacturing.
Everything is delivered in the formats you need -- native SolidWorks files, STEP or IGES for your manufacturer, and PDF drawings for everyone else.
SolidWorks models and assemblies
.SLDPRT / .SLDASM native files, plus STEP and IGES exports for any downstream toolchain.
Engineering drawings
From basic reference drawings to full GD&T drawing packages with tolerances, material callouts, and surface finish notes.
Print-ready drawing packages
PDF drawings formatted for your supplier, your shop floor, or your engineering review process.
~30 production parts. One modular interface. Toleranced to 0.002"--0.007".
Killer Golf needed a full putter line -- four head models across two styles -- built around a modular weight system where swappable attachments could be removed and replaced without tools. Every weight, every artifact, and every putter head had to interface with the same mounting geometry.
Across the full project -- putters, modulators, and the 22-piece Artifacts Collection -- I produced approximately 30 unique part designs in SolidWorks. The modular interface was toleranced to a range of 0.002" minimum to 0.007" maximum engagement: tight enough to stay put under use, loose enough to snap in and out cleanly without forcing.
All four putter models and the full modulator lineup are in production.
Tell me what you need modeled.
A short description is enough. I will respond within one business day with questions, a scope estimate, and a capped first milestone.
