Modern Engineering Meets Old-School Fabrication
From turbo kits to electric drive systems, I design and build custom components that solve real problems and elevate performance.
Engineering • Fabrication • Prototype Development
I’m Dave Pearce — a mechanical engineer with experience in CAD design, machining, welding, electronics, and small-scale mechanical systems. I work from first principles to design, model, and build functional prototypes, custom parts, and experimental systems across engines, drivetrains, and lightweight vehicles.
Capabilities
• Concept & CAD Modeling
Parametric modeling, mechanical design, and packaging using SolidWorks (CSWP).
• Fabrication & Prototyping
TIG welding, machining, fixture design, and rapid prototype builds.
• Electronics & Small Power Systems
Arduino-based control systems, wiring, sensors, and low-voltage power setups.
Recent Projects
Projects I’m designing, fabricating, or testing — from custom drivetrains to prototype components. These are examples of the engineering and build work I’m working on and developing.
Have a Project in Mind?
If you’re working on something mechanical, electrical, or prototype-related and need help designing or building a part, I’m open to interesting projects and one-off collaborations, hourly rates available.
