CNC Modeling Tutors & Services: 1-on-1 Online Zoom Training

I have over 10 years of experience using multiple CAD platforms such as Fusion 360, NX 9, Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, and more. This experience stems from my passion for design and engineering. In high school, I was on a robotics team as a machinist and designer, creating parts using mills, lathes, and other tools while designing actuating arms and other robotic sub-assemblies. I've worked as a fabricator, welder, and machinist, taking on jobs that involved building everything from airplanes and 3D printers to hot dog carts. My work experience has taught me the most important lesson for designers: how things are made. I will not only assist with your introduction to Fusion 360 but also your start as a designer. When using CAD, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture. Many times I've designed parts that were impossible to make, and I’ll help you avoid making the same mistakes.

Hello! My name is Calvin. I’m an architectural designer with a Masters degree in Architecture and Building Technology from Yale Univeristy. I currently work at an international architecture firm, and have past experience in everything from fabrication shops to parametric design firms. I grew up playing music, always learning and playing new instruments. When I discovered the field of architecture, I started to see technology as an instrument by which we could create a more beautiful world. From parametrics to game design, I’m proficient in a number of architectural, rendering, data visualization, graphic design, robotics, sound engineering, and animation softwares. Through learning these tools, together we can visualize the world around us!

I come from a 3D background in traditional sculpture and fabrication. Having worked for NYC-based artist studios for years. I am great at figuring out 3D solutions to help deliver your project from start to finish. ZBrush is the go-to program for handling high polygon count scans and meshes. I have tons of experience with 3D scanning technology, with all of the Artec scanners and Faro Laser Scanner, and can show you how to clean up your high quality scans and prepare them for 3D print, CNC routing, or game design and animation rendering. Interested in developing a character for game design or 3D print? Use your phone to create scans, or create it from scratch with ZBrush’s powerful sculpting tools! Additionally. I can help you prepare high polygon meshes for 3D print, making sure you loose no detail in the hollowing out process, and consulting about which printer to use for the best results at the lowest price.

With a degree in mechatronics, certificates in CNC/CAD/CAM, robotics, and other industry related education, my focus is on design and wide ranging fabrication. I have a decade of experience that includes running a Ford prototyping shop as well as a side business doing more design and fabrication.

Experienced with welding, sheet metal, CNC machining (routing, steel, aluminum, plastic, acrylic, and more), CNC routing, plasma cutting, 3D scanning, 3D printing, manual machines, reverse engineering, vacuum forming, and more. Using Fusion 360 as the core software, I am able to help with a large spectrum of projects and keep into consideration design for manufacturing factors.

So whether you are needing guidance on design or CNC, needing parts or assemblies designed, CNC programming done, or actual fabrication services, I am happy to help.

With over 22 years of experience in teaching CAD, CAM, machining, and product design, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to my tutoring services. Throughout my career, I have worked with a variety of 3D parametric modeling software, including Fusion 360, Inventor, SolidWorks, MasterCAM, and AutoCAD.

In addition to freelancing, I teach an Advanced Manufacturing Program at the high school level. This role has allowed me to work with a wide range of learners, enabling me to tailor my teaching approach to suit each student's unique needs. With hundreds of lessons and real-world examples at my disposal, I'm equipped to guide you through your educational journey in CAD.

My extensive experience spans all aspects of the manufacturing process—design, drawing, production, assembly, and testing—which makes me particularly skilled in designing for manufacturability. I can help integrate best practices into your designs or explain the rationale behind key decisions to improve the efficiency and feasibility of the manufacturing process.

Beyond CAD, I have over 30 years of hands-on experience running CNC and manual machines, both professionally and as a hobbyist. This experience has given me a deep understanding of workholding, tooling, machining techniques, G-code, CNC controllers, inspection, measuring, and GD&T. I am also proficient in 3D printing, understanding the nuances of preparing designs for additive manufacturing. Whether you need help refining your designs or improving your machining knowledge, I’m confident I can provide theinsights and support you need.

Feel free to reach out for one-on-one training or if you have a project that needs expert attention

I specialize in architecture, but I have a background in design-build/manufacturing and enjoy exploring all realms of art & design.

Sketchup and Layout are very valuable tools for any designer or builder. Having the ability to quickly develop and endlessly explore a 3D design will give you an advantage over your competition. Twinmotion & Enscape are SketchUp plugins that are used to produce real-time environments from the same model. You no longer have to be a computer genius to create amazing realistic content.

I enjoy teaching others about his creative process while keeping the lessons fun and informative. In my free time I enjoy camping, creating music, skateboarding, learning new software, and anything that challenges me.

Hello, my name is Anthony R, I started drafting when I was 15 for the family business. My father is a fine finish general contractor and cabinet manufacturer, and grandfather was an architect. Neither of them used cad, so I began inputting hand sketches into 3D Autocad when I was 15 years old. Over 10 years ago, I began utilizing solidworks for creative product development, sculptures, furniture, and full production drawings for architectural metal and glass fabrication. My unique skill set has opened doors for me to stay consistently busy as a subcontracted designer/developer in Seattle, Portland, Brooklyn, and most recently Spokane/Coeur d’Alene.

My favorite projects are ultra high end luxury residential design for fabrication featuring steel, stainless and glass with an emphasis on invisible fastening, modularity and seamless aesthetics. I spent over 3 years mastering waterjet cutting stained and fusible art glass, glass bending, laminated glass, and have worked for some incredible glass artists and architectural glass installers in the Pacific Northwest and NYC.

I’ve developed horticultural, architectural and artistic lighting products that meet UL and other safety certification requirements. I can take any concept, project, or product, and refine it into an incredible finished product with exceptional speed and accuracy, ready to be manufactured utilizing whatever supply chain best suited for your application and volume.

I’ve designed custom aluminum extrusions, custom sheet metal forming and turret tools, and even developed and patented several state of the art manufacturing processes and origami-inspired structural shapes that provide exceptional strength:weight ratios and require no fasteners or welding thanks to the proprietary folding and joining methods.

My favorite manufacturing technology is hands down LASERS, whether it’s sheet metal laser cutting, tube laser cutting or handheld laser welding, I’m all about lasers. In addition to launching my own product lines, consulting, and training; I’m also a sales rep for the most innovative handheld laser welding machine that makes welding beautiful handheld seams in nearly all metals easier than running a caulk bead.

I am also highly preferential to CNC waterjet cutting, have developed several concepts related to hyper-sonic hydro-pneumatic machining, continuous loop abrasive recycle cutting, and innovative fixturing and material support systems.

I can do projects simple or highly complex, communicate and train efficiently, and make it fun along the way. If you are interested in learning more about Solidworks, product development, manufacturing, or just simple 3d modeling for 3d printing, I’d love to work with you and get you to where you want to go.
