Consulting: Have an idea that you want made into a CAD model? I am also available for consulting work. I am available to do conceptual design CAD work using SolidWorks and general SolidWorks help/trouble shooting. Together we can create drawings to help in the process of patent applications or proof of concept. I am also able to help with MATLAB code and troubleshooting. All payment is done through paypal. Please use the contact link and describe your request/challenge and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
