Hi, I’m Dipalkumar Patel. I’m a detail-oriented CAD Technologist with 14+ years of experience creating, maintaining, and revising manufacturing drawings for custom machined and fabricated components in production environments. I’m highly proficient in AutoCAD, Inventor, and Fusion 360, with strong expertise in ISO-compliant drawings, revision control, BOMs, material requisitions, and providing production support. I excel at translating design intent into manufacturable documentation and collaborating with engineers, technologists, and shop personnel to keep programs on track. Beyond drafting, I actively contribute to reverse engineering, workflow troubleshooting, and drafting standards development to improve consistency and efficiency across projects. I continually pursue learning and process improvements to support manufacturing operations and bring designs from concept to production-ready reality.
