About / Yunhong Zhang

Mechanical engineering,
grounded in manufacturing.

SOLIDWORKS Certified Expert · Mechanical Design Engineer

I'm Yunhong Zhang, a China-based mechanical design engineer with 16+ years of hands-on manufacturing experience. I turn ideas, sketches, existing parts and drawings into practical, production-ready designs.

My work connects CAD to the shop floor: sheet-metal fabrication, welded structures, mechanical assemblies, functional prototypes and the documentation suppliers need to make them.

Design with production in mind

More than a CAD model.

I consider how a part will be cut, bent, welded, machined, assembled and maintained. My goal is not just a clean model, but a design that is manufacturable, clearly documented and practical to use.

01 / Engineering

Production-ready CAD & documentation

Mechanical parts and assemblies, sheet-metal enclosures, welded frames, DFM/DFA reviews, manufacturing drawings, GD&T, tolerances, flat patterns and BOMs. I can also reconstruct functional CAD from measurements, physical parts and 3D scans.

02 / Prototyping

Physical validation & batch printing

I develop printable products through CAD, slicing, prototype checks and revision. My Upwork profile records 62 different 3D-printed products developed for one client. I operate a Bambu Lab P1S and can support repeat-part batch printing and small production runs.

03 / Local support

A manufacturing contact in China

China sourcing, supplier communication, on-site factory production guidance, quality checks against agreed requirements, packing and shipment coordination. CNC-machined components are part of this broader procurement and fulfillment service.

Tools & working approach

From design intent to manufacturing handoff.

I work across design and fabrication software to keep models, drawings and production files connected. Depending on the project, deliverables can include native CAD, PDF drawings, DXF flat patterns, STEP geometry, BOMs and print-ready files.

  • SOLIDWORKS
  • Autodesk Inventor
  • AMADA SheetWorks
  • AMADA VPSS
  • CypCut
  • CNCkad
  • AutoCAD
  • Mastercam / SolidCAM

I begin by clarifying function, interfaces, materials and manufacturing constraints, then develop the CAD and review it against prototype or supplier feedback. Clear dimensions, revision records and a coordinated handoff help keep production decisions understandable.
