Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Manuel
I support companies as a CAD designer (mechanical & special machine engineering) in the development and elaboration of mechanical solutions – from the idea to production-ready data. My focus is on welded structures, frame construction, and sheet metal constructions, as well as complex assemblies (e.g., mechanisms, powertrains, gearboxes). Additionally, I contribute experience in Additive Manufacturing / DfAM when it is functionally or economically sensible.
Typical results / deliverables:
• 3D models & assemblies, interface/installation space check, collision detection
• Manufacturing documentation: individual part & assembly drawings, bills of materials/BOM, sheet metal unfolding & DXF
• Design for manufacturability optimization (assembly, tolerances, cost/manufacturability)
• Optional: FEM concept/preliminary checks for optimization (clearly documented assumptions/boundary conditions)
I work in a structured manner, communicate requirements early, and deliver comprehensible results – remotely, efficiently, and on time.
