I graduated from the University of Maine with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. I have been a mechanical design engineer professionally for the last 7 years working on everything from 3D printed plastic clips, to custom automation machines and custom machine tooling for assembly presses. I have experience in designing for 3D printing as well as GD&T and design for more traditional manufacturing processes like plastic injection molding and CNC machining.

I am a CAD Modeler aiming to support my clients' physical product development efforts in a cost-effective way by making CAD models in Fusion360.
I have 15 years of experience in product development, both in large enterprise at Caterpillar and in my own company, Velocity Robotics, as an entrepreneur. I have been on both sides of the freelance relationship and understand what it takes to maximize the value provided to my clients.
If you need somebody to turn your drawing or idea into a 3D model, I can help. If you need help with prototyping and engineering, or just another set of eyes on your design, I can help there too. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and a lot of experience prototyping and testing parts and assemblies. I can even 3D print parts and send them to you, and even test fit assemblies in house.
I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and discuss your business needs and how I can help.
Sincerely,
Brad Kriel

I am a graduate Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering. I am in a dual field of Structural and Robotic Engineering. Right now I am working on a structural project that will be going on the International Space Station in 2019 and a Solar Panel Project for a small village in Panama.
Outside of Engineering I really enjoy making music and helping set up for concerts.

I am a mechanical engineer that has developed a passion for product development, design, and manufacturing. Since my graduation from the University of Pittsburgh I have been working for a small manufacturing company for 4+ years. My main tasks there are 3D modeling, technical drawing for manufacturing and quality control. I use SolidWorks to create part models, assembly models and 2D technical drawings. I also utilize SolidWorks to design for manufacturing, check interference on assemblies, animation and visualization of my projects. I am capable of handling all aspects of a project from initial design all the way to manufacturing. My experience throughout the countless parts and products I have worked on over the years will help me bring your project through the design process efficiently.
