I am a CAD designer with skills in 3D design and 3D printing, working with industries like engineering and manufacturing. I use top software like SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Blender, ZBrush and KeyShot to create accurate and high-quality designs. 🔹 3D Printing Expert I create ready-to-print 3D models with the accurate size and settings to ensure smooth printing. Whether you need functional parts, prototypes or artistic designs, I make sure they print well on FDM and SLA/Resin printers. 💡 If your model is too big for your printer, I can split it into smaller parts for easy assembly while keeping it strong. I will also adjust the design to fit your printer’s bed size (for example, 220 mm X 220 mm X 250 mm), so it prints efficiently with fewer supports. What I Can Do for You: ✔ 3D Printing & Prototyping – Ready-to-print models with the best settings ✔ Product Development – Development of product as per Inputs given. ✔ 2D Design & Drafting – Clear technical drawings and blueprints ✔ 3D Modeling & Rendering – Realistic 3D visuals for products and concepts ✔ CAD Conversion – Turning sketches, PDFs, and old files into digital designs ✔ 3D Texturing – Adding details to make 3D models look more realistic Let’s work together to bring your ideas to life with expert 3D design and printing solutions! Message me, and let’s talk about your project.

I specialize in designing print-ready 3D models for FDM and resin 3D printing. I work daily in Fusion 360, use my own Bambu printers to test and validate designs when needed, and publish my own tested models on MakerWorld. This gives me a practical understanding of real printing constraints such as tolerances, wall thickness, print orientation, overhangs, part splitting, material behavior, and assembly fit, while helping me catch and fix potential issues early. I have strong experience designing practical assembly features such as snap-fits, press-fit connections, printable threads, screw bosses, standoffs, dovetails, slide-fit mechanisms, modular inserts, and multi-part designs that are made to print and assemble reliably. You can see examples of my print-ready design work through my MakerWorld page link, which is available in my portfolio below. Core services: - Product concepts and functional prototypes - Electronics enclosures and PCB/battery housings - Holders, mounts, organizers, accessories, and small product housings - Miniature designs, scale models, and simplified printable replicas - Snap-fit, press-fit, threaded, and modular assemblies - Modular product systems and interchangeable parts - STL/STEP modification and printability optimization - 3D models from sketches, images, PDFs, or rough ideas - Slicer-ready 3MF files, print orientation, and part splitting - Text, logo, cutout, and surface-detail edits I focus on reliable prints, practical assembly, and clear communication. If you want to take your ideas from concept to reliable 3D prints/CAD models, let’s talk!

I’m Sharay, a Product Designer with over 7+ years of experience specializing in 3D modeling, 3D printing, STL conversion, and consumer product development. I help startups, inventors, and companies bring their ideas to life, from rough sketches or concepts to production-ready 3D models and technical drawings. My work focuses on creating designs that are not only functional and manufacturable but also optimized for 3D printing, prototyping, and mass production. Whether you're building a mechanical device, a product enclosure, or a printable assembly, I ensure it’s modeled with precision, clarity, and manufacturing intent. Over the years, I’ve designed a wide range of products, including electronics housings, mechanical enclosures, custom tools, wearables, and 3D printable replicas. I also provide services for reverse engineering and mesh-to-CAD conversion, particularly when clients only have STL files or 3D scans and need accurate CAD models from them. Services I Offer: 3D CAD modeling using SolidWorks, CATIA, and Geomagic Design X STL repair, editing, and conversion to solid CAD models Product design for 3D printing, CNC, or injection molding Reverse engineering from scans or reference models Assembly modeling, exploded views, and 2D technical drawings File delivery in STL, STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, DWG, DXF, PDF, and more I understand that many clients come with just an idea, a rough sketch, or a need to upgrade an existing design. I work closely to develop concepts that are production-ready and aligned with your end-use goals. I can also help with design iterations, mechanical fitment, and preparing technical documentation for prototyping or manufacturing. Clients appreciate my clear communication, fast turnaround, and ability to translate vision into professional engineering output. Whether you need just a clean STL file or an entire product designed from scratch, I’m ready to help. Let’s talk about your next project. I usually reply within a few hours.
