I'm a former tool and die maker with over 25 yrs experience,and still have my precision measuring instruments. For the last 20+ yrs.working in that capacity, I often programmed CNC machines, and produced mechanical drawings using various CAD software. I was forced to "retire" 7 years ago due to neurological disease. Since becoming disabled, I have been self employed as a CAD drafter/designer. My experience ranges from simple tasks like floor plans and electric motor mounts.To more complex drawings such as injection molds and industrial robotics. Projects completed from online sources include: home woodworking jigsaw patterns, a sheet metal design with multiple flat parts that when assembled created a cylinder, a parking lot design for boats/trailers with tow vehicles, and RVs located under a freeway overpass, 2d mechanical blueprints, STL files for CNC router programing, architectural structural frame designs, and an attachment for added stability to a beach umbrella. Recently completed projects include; designing protective covers for cell phones, stamped brass parts designed from hand drawn sketches on fast-food napkins , a bicycle helmet designed like a pith helmet, routed from wood, and fixed blade knife designs. This is not a complete list, only a representation of freelance assignments I have completed. And includes contracts from other freelance web sites as well as privately acquired work. Software being utilized includes SolidEdge, AutoCAD 2015, AutoCAD 2015 Raster Design, 3DSom PhotoModeler, SolidWorks , Rhinoceros 3D, Sketchup Pro., Esprit Cam, NX CAD/CAM/CAE. With Chief Architect for architectural design. As well as Adobe and Microsoft suites I can provide drawings in most any of the formats (DWG, DXF, PDF,STEP, IGES, ect.) commonly used for drafting/design and prototyping. My software is compatible with other files from professional CAD programs (SolidWorks, Catia, Pro-E, AutoCad, ect.)
