FluidWorks provides SolidWorks and mechanical CAD design services from Redondo Beach for clients across Los Angeles, the South Bay, and beyond. Work is handled directly with the designer doing the CAD, with remote collaboration available for manufacturers, inventors, product developers, fabricators, and engineering teams.

Local SolidWorks design support

Being close to Los Angeles-area machine shops, fabricators, prototype resources, and product businesses makes it easier to communicate around real manufacturing needs. Projects can begin with a sketch, marked-up print, sample part, existing CAD file, or a clear description of the required result.

  • SolidWorks part and assembly modeling
  • Contract and overflow CAD support
  • Manufacturing and production drawings
  • Reverse engineering from parts, measurements, photos, or files
  • Prototype files for CNC machining, laser cutting, fabrication, and 3D printing
  • STEP, STL, DWG, DXF, and PDF file preparation

Who I work with

FluidWorks supports small manufacturers, engineering teams with temporary CAD backlogs, inventors preparing a prototype, installers who need a custom component, and businesses replacing a part that no longer has usable documentation.

Local when helpful, remote when faster

Many projects can be completed entirely through email, phone, and shared files. When the job involves a physical sample or local manufacturing coordination, the Redondo Beach location can make that process easier. Project scope and any in-person requirements are confirmed before work begins.

More than 20 years of SolidWorks experience

The work is focused on usable deliverables: editable models, clear drawings, organized revisions, and exports that support the next prototyping or manufacturing step.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only work with Los Angeles clients?

No. FluidWorks is based in the Los Angeles area and also supports remote clients nationwide.

Can I start with a small job?

Yes. CAD corrections and file cleanup start at $250, and fixed-price quotes are available for clearly defined parts and drawings.

Can you help with overflow work?

Yes. A 10-hour SolidWorks overflow package is available for drawing backlogs, revisions, parts, assemblies, and documentation.
