SolidWorks CAD Designer | Sheet Metal, Weldments & Production-Drawings

If your SolidWorks design looks good on screen, but causes problems in fabrication, you’re losing time and money. Bring your ideas: sketches, reference images, or rough concepts, and I’ll turn them into production-ready designs and drawings that your workshop can actually build. I specialize in sheet metal, weldments, and industrial equipment, applying strong DFM (Design for Manufacturability) from the start. That means bend allowances, tolerances, and fabrication constraints are already accounted for, so your parts fit, assemble, and perform as expected. My work ranges from structural steel (platforms, staircases, handrails) to industrial systems, including conveyor layouts, powder coating plants, and multi-component assemblies where integration, access, and serviceability all matter. What you get: Clean, production-ready drawings SolidWorks models structured for easy revisions DXF files for sheet metal cutting STEP files for machining Clear BOMs and documentation Working with me: Clear, consistent communication Practical, fabrication-focused input Files that don’t break when changes are made A smooth, low-friction process I’ve also worked on projects involving molded components and cast parts, giving me a broader understanding of manufacturing beyond fabrication. I’m Top Rated Plus on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score, reflecting consistent delivery on SolidWorks and fabrication-focused projects. If you need someone who understands SolidWorks, sheet metal, DFM, and production-ready drawings, feel free to reach out.
