DFM and DFMA Engineer, Turning Designs into Production Ready Products

I’m Andrew Jackson, a DFM/DFMA engineer with over 12 years of experience in mechanical, electronic, and mixed-assembly product development. I specialize in identifying manufacturing risks early and op...
About this Gig

Sheet metal parts with poor DFM lead to scrap, rework, and frustrated suppliers. I will review your sheet metal design for manufacturability, checking bend radii, hole sizing, flange lengths, tolerances, and material utilization to ensure cost-effective fabrication. From laser cutting and CNC punching to press brake forming and welding. I focus on issues that cause production stoppages: tearing bend reliefs, holes too close to bend lines, flange-tooling collisions, and poor nesting efficiency, helping you reduce cost and avoid rework across prototyping.


WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Full sheet metal DFM report with visual callouts
  • Bend radius & bend allowance verification
  • Hole-to-edge and hole-to-bend distance checks
  • Flange length, return flange analysis
  • Tolerance stack-up review
  • Grain direction & nesting recommendations
  • Weld joint & hardware insertion optimization
  • Cost-reduction suggestions for blanking/forming


WHY WORK WITH ME

I use SolidWorks Sheet Metal, AutoCAD, Inventor, and fabrication tools like Trumpf TruTops and BendWorks, ensuring recommendations are practical and shop-floor ready.
