Keep your CAD backlog moving with direct, senior-level SolidWorks support. FluidWorks provides contract and overflow CAD design for manufacturers, engineering teams, inventors, and small businesses that need production-ready files without a long hiring process.
Send an existing model, marked-up drawing, sketch, photo, or list of changes. I will review the scope, identify the shortest path forward, and work directly with you through delivery.
SolidWorks overflow support without a full-time hire
Use FluidWorks when your internal team is overloaded, a deadline is approaching, or a project needs focused CAD attention. Work can be handled as a fixed-price project or as a defined block of hours.
- Part and assembly modeling
- Production and manufacturing drawings
- Engineering changes and drawing revisions
- Legacy drawing cleanup
- BOM-ready documentation
- STEP, STL, DWG, DXF, and PDF exports
- Prototype and manufacturing file preparation
What you receive
Deliverables are matched to the job instead of forcing every project into the same package. Depending on scope, your release package can include native SolidWorks files, neutral CAD exports, dimensioned drawings, assembly files, and manufacturing-ready documentation.
A practical four-step process
- Send what you have. Share a sketch, existing CAD file, drawing, photo, or revision list.
- Project review. I confirm the required deliverables, assumptions, schedule, and price.
- CAD work and review. The model or drawing is developed with clear checkpoints when feedback is needed.
- Final release. You receive the agreed native and export files organized for continued use.
Built around real manufacturing
More than 20 years of SolidWorks experience means the work is approached as more than screen geometry. Parts, tolerances, assembly access, fabrication methods, and future revisions are considered so the files are useful to the people building from them.
Contract CAD pricing
SolidWorks overflow support: $900 for 10 hours. Fixed-price quotes are also available for clearly defined jobs. Small corrections and file-conversion projects are welcome.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work with our existing SolidWorks files?
Yes. Existing parts, assemblies, drawings, and neutral formats can be reviewed and revised. The exact approach depends on file quality and the required outcome.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. FluidWorks is based in Redondo Beach, California and supports clients remotely using shared files, email, phone, and scheduled project reviews.
Can we start with one small project?
Yes. A well-defined part, drawing update, or CAD cleanup task is often the best way to establish a working process.
