Oxenford, Australia
$75 USD per hour
Industrial Designer with 10+ years of product design and development experience. Currently I am employed full time as an Industrial Designer with a product development company located on the Gold Coast. I'm very experienced with turning people’s ideas into real products that are currently manufactured in China and sold worldwide. 3D CAD skillset: Over the course of my career, I have used a variety of CAD programs, which include: Alibre Design, Solid Works, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Fusion 360. I offer the following types of 3D design: - Single Part - full Assembly designs And I do this using: - Parametric Modelling (this is modeling with known dimension in mind), and - Surface modeling (this style of modeling creates free-flowing organic shapes) Why do I offer my services on Freelancer if I am so experienced? I absolutely love this job and honestly cannot get enough of it! I work full time during the day and during the night I work on personal projects, some of which are manufactured in China and sold through various e-commerce stores. It’s also exciting to earn a small amount of coin on the side when the opportunity arises. Why should you choose me over all of the other experienced designers on Freelancer? For the same reason, you choose your friends and significant other... trust. To be honest, it should be a good fit between yourself and the designer so both parties get a good outcome, in the end, I bring to you: - Experience - Honesty - Professional attitude - Willingness to create the best design for your buck! - Fast delivery times To ensure you get the same professional service and delivered in the shortest amount of time possible (as you would get with an established brick and mortar design consultancy) I will be following the same tried and proven processes. The Design Process Overview: 1. Protect your idea / intellectual property (IP): 2. Client Brief: Before starting a design it's important for the designer to gain a clear understanding of what the client’s goal/s might be. For example, it’s important to know the manufacturing process before the design starts to ensure the design is created in a way that is optimized for that process. 3. Concept Development: Ideation is often the most exciting stage in the project! The aim is to generate a large quantity of ideas that can then filter and cut down into the best, most practical or most innovative ones in order to better the product. 4. 3D CAD Design / Modelling: Once the design has been clearly nutted out in the previous stages the 3D stage should be quick to complete. 5. 3D Design Review: Once the design is complete you'll have the chance to review the design and make changes if needed. 6. Sign off: Once your all happy with the design you will be provided with a file that can be used to manufacturer your design. Thanks for reading I and hope we can work together and create some really beautiful stuff!

A 3D CAD designer is a technical professional who creates precise three-dimensional digital models of products, parts, buildings, or assemblies using computer-aided design software for manufacturing, prototyping, or visualization. Hiring a freelance 3D CAD designer gives you direct access to specialists who can translate sketches, specifications, or rough concepts into production-ready CAD files without the overhead of an in-house engineering team.
A skilled 3D CAD designer produces accurate parametric models, technical drawings, and assembly files that move a product from idea to fabrication. Their work underpins prototyping, tooling, regulatory submissions, and marketing renders, so the quality of the CAD file directly affects manufacturing cost, lead time, and part fit.
Typical deliverables from a freelance CAD designer include:
Strong candidates work fluently across the major mechanical and product design platforms. Match the software to your downstream workflow so files transfer cleanly to your manufacturer or engineering team.
CAD work spans nearly every physical-product industry. Buyers on Freelancer.com commonly hire 3D CAD experts for:
The strongest signal is a portfolio that matches your product category. A jewelry CAD designer and a sheet metal enclosure designer use different toolsets and conventions, so look for direct relevance rather than raw model count.
Sample interview questions you can copy and use:
Freelancer.com gives you access to a global pool of mechanical designers, product designers, and CAD drafters across every major software ecosystem. You can compare portfolios, shortlist specialists by industry experience, and post a project on Freelancer.com to receive competitive bids within hours rather than days.
Clients set their own budgets, review verified ratings, and use Milestone Payments to release funds only when deliverables meet the brief. Whether you need a single bracket modeled for 3D printing or a full product assembly with manufacturing drawings, freelancers on Freelancer.com cover the full range of CAD disciplines and time zones.
Hiring a CAD designer works best when your brief reflects how the model will actually be used downstream. The clearer you are about the manufacturing process, file format, and tolerance requirements, the better the bids you will receive. The process below takes you from posting a project to awarding the right specialist.
Your project post is the single biggest determinant of bid quality. A precise CAD brief filters out generalists and attracts designers who genuinely understand your manufacturing process, software preference, and deliverable expectations. Head to the
Bids are short proposals that reveal how each CAD designer interprets your brief. A strong proposal will reference the modeling approach, the software workflow, and any clarifying questions about tolerances, fits, or manufacturing constraints. Read each one carefully and shortlist candidates whose technical understanding matches the work.
The final decision combines proposal quality with profile evidence. For CAD work, look for consistency across multiple projects rather than one polished render, since manufacturing-ready files require sustained discipline in modeling practice and drawing standards.
A single part with reference images can often be modeled in a few days, while a full multi-part assembly with manufacturing drawings may take two to four weeks. Timelines depend on the number of revisions, the complexity of surfacing, and whether tolerancing and DFM reviews are included.
Always request the native source file (such as a SolidWorks or Fusion 360 file) plus neutral exports like STEP and IGES so any manufacturer can open them. For 3D printing, ask for STL or 3MF; for fabrication shops, include 2D PDF drawings with dimensions and tolerances.
A 3D CAD designer creates engineering-accurate, parametric models intended for manufacturing, with tolerances, materials, and assemblies defined. A 3D modeler typically works in tools like Blender or Maya for visualization, animation, or games, where polygonal accuracy and visual fidelity matter more than dimensional precision.
Yes. Many freelancers on Freelancer.com take on small fixed-scope jobs such as modeling a single component, converting a sketch to STL, or creating a drawing from an existing part. Define the deliverable clearly in your brief to attract focused bids.
If you need modeling, drafting, and DFM-aware revisions, a CAD designer is usually sufficient. If your project requires stress analysis, thermal simulation, or formal engineering sign-off, look for a freelancer who also lists FEA, simulation, or chartered engineering credentials.
