From Unclear Idea to Useful Engineering Output

Bring the problem as it exists. I help define the right next deliverable, then carry the design toward a decision, prototype, or production handoff.

01

Define the path

Clarify the function, constraints, materials, manufacturing method, and technical risks before time is spent on the wrong detail.

02

Build the design

Develop the CAD, assemblies, technical drawings, DFM decisions, and validation visuals needed to move the project forward.

03

Hand off with confidence

Receive clean exports, supplier-ready documentation, revisions, and a clear list of next actions for prototyping or production.

Mechanical Engineering Meets
Creative Vision

I'm a freelance Mechanical Engineer (B.Sc. University of Twente) focused on product development, 3D CAD, DFM, and precision manufacturing.

Before establishing IAEngineering, I spent years at Micronit as a Process Development Engineer and Researcher in the microfluidics sector. There, I developed custom C# intranet systems, optimized CNC machining accuracy to 5-micron assembly tolerances, and slashed an additive manufacturing development timeline from 5 months to just 2 weeks.

Today, I leverage that rigorous engineering background to deliver end-to-end CAD design and 3D visualization — ensuring every product is not only visually striking but technically sound, documented, and production-ready.

Questions Before We Start

A short project brief is enough to work out the right next step.

Can I start with a sketch, photo, or existing CAD?

Yes. A sketch, photo, reference product, or existing CAD file is enough to define the next engineering step.

Do you prepare files for manufacturing?

Yes. Support can include production-ready CAD, assemblies, technical drawings, exports, and DFM review for CNC, 3D printing, and injection molding.

Do you work with international product teams?

Yes. I am based in Barcelona and work remotely with international teams in English, Spanish, and Lithuanian.
