For those familiar, what I do best can be described as Skunk Works. I provide mechanical design services from early stage development up to production, or anywhere in between. Also, I am a Jack of Many Trades and can handle most support tasks to reduce the number of people you need to juggle. Because I have extensive fabrication experience, there is a good chance that I will be able to predict problems without having to throw money at prototyping. In other words, I have probably made the mistake before and learned from it. Who Can I help? - Individuals trying to design or develop a product to bring to market. - Companies who don't have in house engineering but need engineering capabilities - Companies who want to try out an idea or concept quickly and cost effectively - Companies who need temporary remote help for their engineering services - Companies whose engineering competency could be improved with my services - Companies who don't have the facilities to do the fabrication and testing I excel at early-stage informal development. I can save clients time and money by keeping the small task in house. In the early stages, paying an engineer to design the part, spec it out and then oversee the outsourcing is slow and expensive. If you just want to try an idea, I may be able to design, build and test it in less time than an engineer can prepare the design for outsourcing. Once we are ready to move forward, I can help with outsourcing production if desired. I can do much of the fabrication, machining, welding, mechanics, CAD design, purchasing, etc. This can be a huge savings because you don’t have to provide and maintain your own fabrication facility. I will always let you know if you are better off outsourcing an aspect of the project. Core Competencies: (Stuff I’m really good at) Mechanical Design, Product Design, Machine Design, Manufacturing Process Design, Materials, Sourcing, CAD, Artistic(Sculpture, Set Design, Architectural Elements)
