Ilya Shinkeyev
Consulting

Complex mechanical ideas, brought to life — from CAD to a part in your hand.

Mechanical design, rapid prototyping, and electro-mechanical integration for founders, makers, and teams who need a working prototype — not just a drawing.

What I do

Mechanical Design & CAD

High-fidelity 3D modeling, mechanism design, and design for manufacturability (DFM) — from a blank screen to a production-ready part.

Rapid Prototyping

Functional multi-material 3D printing — including high-temp and engineering-grade filaments — for fast, physical design iteration.

Electro-Mechanical Integration

Custom fixturing, cabling, microcontroller (ESP32/Arduino) work, and soldering/assembly to turn a mechanism into a working device.

How I work

01

Discovery

Align on requirements, constraints, and what success looks like.

02

Design & Iteration

CAD modeling with quick review loops — you see the design evolve.

03

Prototyping & Validation

In-house printing, assembly, and physical testing against the goals.

04

Handoff

Delivery of manufacturing docs (STEP files, drawings) or physical prototypes.

FAQ

What deliverables do I receive?

Depending on scope: native CAD and STEP files, 2D manufacturing drawings, and/or physical 3D-printed prototypes. We agree on the exact deliverables up front.

What's your typical turnaround?

A first CAD concept is usually days, not weeks. Full prototype cycles depend on complexity — we'll set a realistic timeline during Discovery.

How is intellectual property (IP) handled?

Your designs remain 100% yours. I'm happy to work under a standard NDA, and all files and rights transfer to you on delivery.

Let's build something.

Tell me a bit about your project and I'll get back to you.
