Description

I am a specialized CAD Technical Designer focusing on light metal carpentry, sheet metal development, and nesting optimization. I offer remote 2D and 3D design services to metalworking companies, small workshops, and private clients across Europe.

What I do best:

My core expertise lies in transforming ideas into production-ready technical drawings. I work primarily with light carpentry projects including:

Metal stairs (straight, spiral, and custom designs)
Architectural metal elements and decorative panels
Light structural frameworks
Sheet metal enclosures and cladding
Custom furniture with metal components

Technical skills & software:

Autodesk AutoCAD – precise 2D technical drawings and shop floor documentation

Solidworks – 3D modeling, assemblies, sheet metal module, and basic FEM analysis

Rhinoceros – complex freeform surfaces and design-oriented modeling

Vectric – nesting optimization and toolpath preparation for CNC cutting

What I deliver:

Every project is tailored for efficient manufacturing. I provide:
Fully dimensioned 2D fabrication drawings
Ready-to-cut DXF/DWG files for laser cutting, plasma cutting, and punching
Sheet metal flat patterns with bend allowances calculated
Nesting layouts optimized to minimize material waste
3D models in STEP, IGES, or native Solidworks format
Bill of materials and cutting lists when required

My workflow is 100% remote. I work with my own VAT number (Partita IVA) and issue regular invoices for B2B clients. I am available for both one-off projects and long-term collaborations.
