✨Dear Tommy, I am a SolidWorks & Fusion360 expert, product designer and mechanical engineer. My background includes extensive mechanical product development with a strong focus on Design for Injection Molding (DFM), where manufacturability is considered from the beginning of the design process rather than treated as a final review step. I understand that successful plastic-part design requires balancing functionality, aesthetics, tooling complexity, cycle time, part quality, and production cost. Areas I routinely consider during development include: ✨Draft analysis and mold-release considerations ✨Wall-thickness uniformity ✨Rib and boss design optimization ✨Sink-mark and cosmetic-surface risks ✨Undercuts and tooling complexity ✨Parting-line location and visibility ✨ Gate location recommendations ✨Ejection strategy and ejector-pin placement ✨Warpage and shrinkage considerations ✨Assembly features such as snap-fits and fastening points ✨Tooling feasibility and cost implications If you hire me, then your project will be completed more successfully. Looking forward to discussing your project and getting started. Best regards Ivy

Sir: Your needs are very clear. I use PTC/Creo. I have been doing product design since 2008. I have designed many products and opened molds to complete production and assembly. I have rich design knowledge in mold molding and 3D printing design. Because in the early stage of product development, I need to confirm the prototype assembly through 3D printing before preparing to communicate with the mold processing factory for DFM. Confirm the injection gate position, uniform wall thickness, mold flow analysis, parting line position, etc. The plastic material needs to be determined during product development, because different materials cannot be injected with the same mold. I can respond to your instructions quickly and ensure that the task is completed within the specified time limit. Because all these tasks are completed by me alone. I hope to cooperate with you and serve you. I hope to get your response
