About Julien

Over the years, I prioritize a simple requirement:design parts optimized for manufacturing.

There can be significant discrepancies between a visually appealing 3D model and a truly manufacturable part:
manufacturing tolerances, assembly sequence, over-engineering or under-engineering, poorly anticipated production costs...

As afreelance industrial designerspecializing in **SolidWorks mechanical design**, my priority is the actual viability of your products.
I don't just "design for the sake of designing": my technical decisions are based on your specifications or your **constraints (production, assembly, maintenance...)

I can offer you tailored studies:
- **Machining & Manufacturing Drawings**: Deliver rigorous and toleranced drawings, allowing for production launch without technical hesitation.

- **Plastic Injection**: Define the right thickness and optimal draft angles to ensure the mold maker's work.

- **Sheet Metal & Metal Fabrication**: Anticipate bending sequences and simplify assemblies for quick and error-free assembly.

- **3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering**: Reconstruct usable parametric 3D models from complex digital surveys (my "technical detective" side).

- **3D Modeling & Rendering**: Validate your concepts with impactful visuals even before the first chip is cut.

Based on your **specifications**: I will meet your deadlines and ask the necessary questions upfront to avoid costly rework during the manufacturing phase.

I will deliverindustrial qualityfiles directly usable by your manufacturers: native SolidWorks files, STEP, PDF, DXF, DWG.

    Freelance Design Engineer SOLIDWORKS
    MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
    September 2015 - Today (10 years and 9 months)
    Rennes, France
    Freelance for 10 years, I support innovative SMEs and technical solution creators in transforming their concepts into manufacturable products. My expertise in SolidWorks goes beyond simple drawing: I am your technical partner to secure the critical transition from R&D to series production.

    For a decade, I have optimized the design of complex parts (plastic injection, machining, sheet metal) with an absolute priority: workshop viability. My role is to anticipate assembly, tolerancing, and maintenance constraints to reduce your production costs and time-to-market.

    Whether you are developing a special machine or a new industrial product, I bring the flexibility of a freelancer and the rigor of a senior expert. I provide industrial-quality deliverables (SolidWorks native files, STEP, DXF) immediately usable by your subcontractors
