Hey there! Thank you for checking out my profile. I have been designing in various CAD and Illustration suites since 2010. Most of my 3D work experience comes from my time working for a small custom shop in Olympia Washington. There I used my mechanical inclination for surgical tool design and modification. Ive worked with many clients who needed custom designs within a short window of time, which I believe translates well to freelance design. Currently I use Onshape to develop my models and blueprints, as I am a native Solidworks user. This makes it fun for me, and quick for you! Feel free to hit me with a request. Thanks for coming by!!

About Me: In the past twenty plus years, working within large manufacturing facilities, I gained a considerable amount of experience. During this time I have been exposed to various complex mechanical, tooling and manufacturing problems and have gained a tremendous amount of hands on knowledge for solving these problems, giving me the necessary skills and abilities to improve and correct such problems that impede a company causing it to have lower quality and productivity. I have strong skills in the areas of tool making, tool design, product design, electronics, CAD, and automated machinery along with a proven ability to manage a company and feel that these qualities will make a positive impact on your facility. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Best Regards, Eddie

Thirty plus years of tooling experience in the aerospace industry including Northrop Grumman, Sikorsky Aircraft and GNN Aerostructures. After retiring I soon realized that I missed the challenge and intellectual stimulation of the the work that I enjoyed for my entire career. So, I formed an LLC and purchased licenses for CATIA and Solidworks and have been performing contract tool design projects for former employers and new customers alike for several years. The types of tools I have designed include: o Composite airframe components (Molds, preform tools, trim fixtures, resin transfer molds, bonding jigs) o Jigs and fixtures: major and sub-assembly tools, drill jigs, installation fixtures o Tooling for Composite air-frame components (Molds, preform tools, trim fixtures, resin transfer molds, bonding jigs, etc.) o Weld fixtures, electron beam welding tools o Ground support equipment o Machining holding fixtures o Conceptual tool designs for manufacturing planning o Inspection tools o Test fixtures

Strong SolidWorks CAD skills (15+ years) for a vast range of design projects: Custom Machine/Automated machines, tooling, fixtures, dies and environmental projects. 29+ years of tool design using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks including: Progressive dies design, single hit die design, Draw tooling design, Expand tooling design, Prototype tooling design and Fixture design. 20+ years of Product design, Product Development projects (end user part development as well as tooling to make the product), Product Rendering projects. Design for 3D printing and 3D printing projects for early product samples or as assembly verifications. Experience with pneumatics, hydraulics, robotic end of arm tools (EOAT’s), pick and place units, dial tables/indexers and various vision systems. Developed the Hercules Patient Repositioner system for The Morel Company. Morelcompany.com I have designed progressive dies for multiple companies around the world. Paper to CAD models to bring old legacy 2D CAD and paper prints into the 3D world. Reverse Engineering of existing parts, assemblies, machines. Also reverse engineer to 3D print so that multiple parts can be combined into 1 3D printed part to eliminate stocking of multiple components. I have designed a number of products that people had very rough sketches of or ideas in their head that needed to be turned into models and manufacturing drawings. Many of these are to make their life easier or in other cases to kick off their manufacturing business.

I have been in manufacturing now for ten years; the first eight years I spent building assemblies, quality processes and programs, and tool design. The last two years I have been working as a Mechanical Design Engineer. I have been designing linkage systems, weldments, sheet metal, plastic, and machined parts. I design using 3D CAD modeling software. I am familiar with industry process, non-destructive testing, frame design, and mechanical and electrical systems. I like to clearly understand the needs of customer before I like to start projects and to be clear of the expectations and mile stones of a project. I enjoy design work and hope to be helping you soon.

Hi, my name is Benjamin Ellis. I am a mechanical engineer living and working in the Chicago area. I received my BSME from Tennessee Technological University in 2012. My past work experience encompasses multiple responsibilities in high-volume manufacturing in the automotive sector, including tool design, process design, quality inspection methods, CMM and vision inspection system programming, robotics programming, PLC programming, process automation, machine design, metallurgy, CNC machining, and both 2D and 3D CAD, among others. Additional work experience includes roles in manufacturing process design and control, quality control, and product improvement at a steel fabrication facility. The additional skills gained at this workplace include the use of inventory and production tracking software, personnel management, and both raw material and equipment/machinery resource management. This combined work experience has given me the needed skills and knowledge to take products from concept to reality. I have had the privilege of working with outstanding mentors in my field that have trained me to look ahead in the product development cycle to identify potential problems and challenges and to plan accordingly. A deep understanding of and enthusiasm for the various manufacturing processes available has influenced my product design work with a constant eye toward manufacturability and cost. Furthermore, when it comes to engineering, I highly endorse the notion that the simplest process or design is the surest path to success.
