About Me
I’m Carlos M Velez Barreto, a mechanical engineer who graduated from Interamerican University of Puerto Rico’s school of engineering. My passion is 3D modeling/design for 3D printing and I’ve worked as a sales engineer, design engineer, cad drafter,repair design engineer, structures engineer and mechanical engineer in companies like Power Equipment Inc., Simple Tech Solutions, Ortho Biologics , Infotech Aerospace Services and AKMMFG (as a sheet-metal designer/drafter/modeler). Currently I’m giving entrepreneurship a go and started my own 3d design and 3d printing company called 3DCreations, as well as “Mi Tutor Digital” an online learning platform where I deliver content through videos on 3d modeling and 3d printing technologies. Be sure to take a look at the websites.

What I do
Being a detailed oriented individual, I’m really into the detailed design process of design engineering. Figuring out the small bits and pieces needed to finish a design so it can be ready for manufacture. I’m also a 3D printing fan and hobbyist. On my free time I’m always tinkering with my 3D printer and looking for ways to design and model my ideas effectively so they can be 3D printed without problems. Take a look at some of my passions and things I’ve worked on.
Professional SolidWorks CAD Design
From big to small, I’ve been involved in many aspects of engineering cad design for manufacture. While working at AKM I polished my skills on sheet metal design. Designing transclosures, junction boxes and all types of enclosures that were thrown my way. Take a look at this expandable transclosure I designed in SolidWorks. It went from idea to preliminary design, to detail design, CAD drafting, fabrication and assembly. All steps of which I was deeply involved with.
Skid design for AlfaLaval Centrifuge for a mobile turnkey gooseneck trailer
Platform for AlfaLaval Centrifuge done in weldments
These are the pieces to a custom chess set I’m working on. Everything modeled in ZBrush.
This is a reproduction of the Hiram Bithorn statue. There were thirteen total scans made. The scans were assembled and keyd out in zbrush to be 3d printed.
Here is mehrunes razor from the elder scrolls Skyrim that I modeled in ZBrush to 3d print.
Scanning
Being a cad designer and 3d printing advocate I’ve taken to 3d scanning. Mainly to capture the human form and model effectively the intricacies that make up facial expressions. Take a look at this scan of my grandmother. Spin her around!!
