[Ian Thompson]

Need to take your product from a napkin sketch to reality? Not sure how to make that happen?
LOOK NO FURTHER!!
As a Detroit native in the heart of manufacturing, "Engineer This" will be your personal engineer and product marketing consultant!​

@MJ DeMarco says: "Engineer This Is one of my personal favorite services!"

@million$$$smile says: "I will ABSOLUTELY use Ian at Engineer This again in the near future. This guy can help anyone bring your concept into reality."

@Mikkel says: "Ian has done a phenomenal job, going above and beyond what I had expected. The changes made I had not even thought about saving me lots of money in the end. On top of that, he also provided me with valuable information on how to launch my product. I'll be using Engineer This in the future.

No matter what your intention may be, and no matter where you are in the process, my skills and #INSIDERS knowledge WILL take you to the next step! If this is your FIRST Product launch, Read On!
- NEED a Realistic 3D Model and Render to Generate Pre-Sales for your new business? OK!
- NEED Tooling Designed or Stamping dies created? You Got It!
- NEED a 3D Printer Friendly Prototype? I'm On It!
- NEED a Napkin Sketch turned into a 10,000 yr production run? Look No Further!

At Engineer This, I offer guidance and consultation aiding you on your product development journey, even if you just started! Not only a design house, but I'll also walk you through a proven plan to get your product on the market. From your idea and napkin sketch to market testing and product validation, I have the marketing know-how to explain how to run a successful Pre-launch campaign and how best to apply it to your product. An hour-long consultation is provided for $100 where we will talk about ideas on additional product #ValueSkews and go over your marketing strategies, where I will assign homework for you. Then we get cracking on your design! Book a Consultation here, and Recieve my Product Launch Plan included too!

WHATEVER YOU NEED, I'm here to assist! I work hourly*, and each job will be treated like my baby. The sky is the limit, with nothing too big or too small! I enjoy a challenge, but if I cannot foresee my skills to your benefit, I will let you know right off the bat!

With 6 years of experience working as a Product Designer and Manufacturing Engineer, I know how products are made! All of my work has been in connection with suppliers, fabricators, and machinists, so I know exactly what they need in blueprints, and how to design to limit fab and machine time - SAVING YOU MONEY!

IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCT IDEA... Any idea! And want to manufacture it... I'M YOUR PERSONAL ENGINEER!
-I will consult you about your product idea, ways to add value skew, ways to solve pain points, and ways to market it
-I will educate you on marketing and design, sending you a custom product launch plan to get you an investor too
-I will 3D model your product in Solidworks (Professional CAD Program)
-I will create beautifully realistic Rendered Pictures of the model you can use to post on your website or social media to gain pre-orders for a Pre-Launch or Micro-Testing markets (My Most popular service on here)...
-I will re-design it to be manufactured in the most cost-effective method

My newest project from @Mikkel he loved the result! He really took my marketing advice and ran with it!

A finished project from @OutofPoverty was quite the challenge, modeling fabric was new to me! He took my product launch advice to heart and is making big steps!

CHECK OUT this fun project that I completed for a fellow Fastlane aficionado @MaxinVegas.

He disclosed his ideas, along with his preferred dimensions for the product, and let me run with it! The design looks simple, but that is where my EFFORT, KNOWLEDGE, and EXPERIENCE come into play. I immediately recognized that for this product, I could design the whole thing out of folded sheet metal, and in turn vastly REDUCE the prototype COSTS, along with minimizing individual part count, welding, and special processes. Four hours into a design, I made @MaxinVegas a very happy customer!! He can now present beautiful renders on his social media to start collecting pre-orders AND he's coming back to do the blueprint drawings when it is prototype time!

Here's another I completed for @O1i He challenged me to create a better version of a product he thought could be #valueskewed
He sent me this sketch! and I made this!


Here's a recent example of a manufacturing drawing a supplier needed from @million$$$smile it worked great with no revisions needed!

Now I am looking for my next challenge! Book a Consultation here! Or if you know what you need, PM me!

LET'S GET STARTED! What's the worst that can happen? I say your idea sucks, and tell you how to improve it? Win-Win! Don't have doubts, I'm great at this... Talk to me, I love product design, I enjoy talking about it, and love to hear new ideas, no judgment, just creativity

*Engineering houses charge upwards of $200/hr, MY FIRST FIVE CUSTOMERS I WILL WORK FOR $50/hr, after that I will charge $75/hr - subject to change
Edit: Only 0 spots left!! $75hr is my Rate. See more completed jobs in the comments below! PM me!!!

Another satisfied Fastlaner! @O1i Got in touch to create his value-skewed product! We worked together to make a much better product! He gave me his dreams, and I figured out how to implement them while still being cost-effective, and simple. Here is the sketch he sent...



This is the finalized product! (Took me 10 Hours)
Who's next? 3 Spots remain at $50 an hour! @MDToBe where you at?

Have had a busy past few weeks and knocked out some large projects! Ready for more work! I've well surpassed my 5 intro clients, so I'm yours for $75 an hour.. Don't worry, most projects only take a couple of hours, as I efficiently attack each project with years of learned knowledge and experience. I have yet to send a $1000 invoice. Hit me up!

Here's one drawing I did for @million$$$smile He needed a 3D model created, and manufacturing drawings created to get his product fabricated by a supplier... They were very happy with my drawings, with no revisions needed!

 

[million$$$smile]

I had Ian create some CAD drawings of one of my products to submit to some new fabricators and he did a fantastic job!
And get this! I submitted the information and basic drawings to him and in less than 48 hrs, I received my drawings and 3D files back! I had cannot say enough about his work.

I've already got another project for him (a new hand tool), but haven't completed my dimensions for him as of yet.
I will ABSOLUTELY use Ian again in the near future. This guy can help anyone bring your concept into reality.

Thanks Ian, for the awesome work.

Hey Ian! ALL THE BEST! Do you happen to be a copywriting expert as well?

I’m not but my wife sure is! Marketing and messaging has been a passion of ours.

 

[Mikkel]

Add me to the list of happy customers! Ian has done a phenomenal job, going above and beyond what I had expected. I provided him with a bit more detail than a napkin drawing, but he took the concept and provided some functionally necessary components to the product. The changes he made where those I had not even thought about but will save me a lot of money in the end.

On top of that, he also provided me valuable information on how to launch my product. Yes, there were parts that I knew, however, he was able to fill in the missing pieces that is currently helping me launch this product.

Thank you @Ian Thompson
I'll be using in the Engineer This in the future.

I highly recommend Ian’s services. I needed some CAD designs for my envisioned product and luckily I came across his post on the marketplace section. I sent him a DM and we exchanged phone numbers to discuss my product in more detail. I was told that I should spend time retuning my product, understanding who demographic, giving me advice on how to soft proof my idea, tools to create a website, and hiring a freelancer to design the website. After the initial phone call, I spent four days doing more sketches to provide him the details he needed to start the designs.

It only took him four hours to complete and I was impressed. It came out exactly how I envisioned it. Weeks later, I found a supplier that was willing to help me bring my product to life but he needed a step file and BOM. I reached out Ian again and he was able to do the files the following day in an hour. This was enough for the supplier to send the information to his manufacturers to get a prototype for me.

Fantastic working with you, glad to hear as it was a bit out of my comfort zone I think it came out really cool! And gave me a chance to experiment with materials in the rendering software!
