Dear All My name is Mike Hancox and I am a Mechanical Engineer with a First Class Honours Master of Engineering Degree in Mechanical engineering. I am offering a service for mechanical design of product prototypes, devices, moulds, mechnanisms etc etc. I am keen to build my portfolio of designs so I am offering my services at a very competitive rate. I have 4 years experience working as an engineer in industry which builds upon my university training to give me over 8 years experience in engineering and engineering design. Please contact me if you would like to use my services for 3d modelling and or prototype engineering design. I will help you to get your idea in your hands. Thanks MikeHancoxDesign
Hi Mike, Would you convert some AutoCAD LT 2011 2-D drawings into STL format? I would provide all necessary elevations and photos of the real items if necessary. I make, as a hobby, model railways in 7mm scale (1/43.5) and want to get some small items made in Frosted Ultra Detail material. These are model springs and axleboxes. What rates do you charge? I am a Chartered Mechanical Engineer in manufacturing indusrty and just getting up to speed on rapid prototyping. Thanks & regards, Derek
Hi Derek, I have never converted from that format before but I'm sure I will be able to do it. If you would send me the files and the description of the work I will make an assessment of how long I think it will take and I will provide you with a quote. If you are happy with the price I will get started as soon as you give merge go ahead. If you can email to mikehancoxdesign@gmail.com that would be the best start. Many thanks Mike hancox
Mike I want some unique items on my 1930's model railway scene. (4mm scale) I am looking for real engineering CAD work, and not artistic representations that score by looking "right". I am looking for scale modelling of real things that score by measuring-up as being "right". I have several items but in particular for one, I have a single side elevation and lots of photographs. I also have dimensioned drawings of the general measurements to fit the gauge. I also have a series of aborted CAD stills. I am looking for the models to be produced by Shapeways. Regards Stewart
I was wondering if you could make some parts for the receiver of a rifle for me? I have access to a copy of the blueprints which I could scan and send to you. Thanks jpmiller84@hotmail.com
Hi shapeways. I have had a number of PMs asking me if im still open for business. The answer is YES I have been working mainly with local clients so not been as xactive on the forum as i would have liked. Please contact me for any engineering design and modelling work at very competitive rates, i have over 8 years mechanical engineering design experience working in high end technology industry and design. I loom forward to hearing from you. Thanks Mike Mikehancoxdesign
Hi Guys, I have a couple of projects underway at the moment, but still plenty of time for many more projects so please get in touch if you have engineering design/cad modelling projects that you would like help with. My speciality is prototype product design where there is some engineering required. With my skills i wont simply model the dimensions you send me, I will work with you to develop a better engineered product. I should also say I now have over 9 years experience as I have just passed another year anniversary. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!! Mike
Hey Everyone. This was my first time hiring someone to design a 3D model, and Mike was more than happy to answer my questions. He's very knowledgable, quick to respond to messages, and just an overall nice guy. I can definitely vouch for Mike Hancox, he does great work at a great price. - Seth Byrd P.S. I will be hiring Mike again in the future!
Hi there, are you able to do 3D models of bolts and nuts (threading) assembly? I'm a Singapore based craftsman needing some specialised plastic parts. Yours truly, Bernard
Hi everyone, please send me a pm or post a reply here for all requests for design services. I have many years experience, over 9 years of me cynical engineering design and cad modelling. Send me a message for a competitive quote and quick turnaround. Thanks. Mike
