Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Philipp
I work as a freelance developer and engineer for mechanical products.
My projects usually start when a technically feasible solution needs to be created from an idea, a draft, or an existing product.
My focus is on practical implementation – from design through functional prototypes to preparation for series production.
I support companies in three main areas:
Product Development & Engineering
Development of concepts and design drafts into production-ready designs, including CAD models, technical drawings, and preparation for series production.
Prototypes & Technical Implementation
Development of functional prototypes and test setups for technical validation of concepts.
Engineering Support & Reverse Engineering
Support for existing development teams, as well as reconstruction of components and creation of missing CAD data.
