SolidWorks Engineering Services
SolidWorks design services for projects on demand
SolidWorks is a computer software used in computer-aided design (CAD services). With over 3.5 million license holders worldwide, SolidWorks is one of the most popular modeling programs on the market. Since SolidWorks is so popular, you won’t have to worry about compatibility with your production or manufacturing client. More likely than not their system will be designed to work with SolidWorks file formats.
All of the design freelancers who work with Mechmaven are experts in CAD software and programs, including SolidWorks. The use of SolidWorks helps our designers to reduce production times and costs for your project. The software’s advanced features also let our designers track the changes they make to the design and archive outdated versions for later reference.
The software uses parameters, design intent, and features to allow its users to customize their 3D models.
• Parameters are values that help the software determine the shape of the object. There are numeric parameters, including line lengths and circle diameters, or geometric parameters, including tangent, parallel, concentric, horizontal, or vertical.
• Features can be either shape-based or operation based. Shape-based features are dictated by shape, like bosses, holes, and slits and are usually sketched into the design in 2D or 3D. The shape is then incorporated into the design, either adding or removing the material needed. Operation-based features don’t need to be sketched and include aspects like fillets, chamfers, shells, and applying drafts to the faces of a part.
The design intent is usually what defines the features added to the design. It also dictates how the features on the object will respond to any changes in size.
SolidWorks is used by our freelance CAD designers and engineers to offer you a number of engineering services:
• 2D CAD Drafting
• 3D Modeling Services
• 3D CAD Animation
• Part and Assembly Modeling
• 3D Rendering Services
• Structural Modeling
• Electrical Design
• Industrial Design
• Engineering Design
With this software, designs are that much more accurate and precise. It’s the ideal software for drafting, modeling, animation, and analysis.

Modeling is made exponentially easier with SolidWorks, as it keeps all of the project documents synchronized, including models, drafts, archives, and drawings. The software automatically tracks the defined parameters and updates them across documents when any changes are made. If you want multiple different versions of your design, the documents will also be updated to match each variation.
SolidWorks has the functionality needed for 3D modeling, including the ability to generate surfaces for any shape. It can also analyze the model to determine the solid mass properties and volume of the object. The program can be used for modeling 3D parts and assemblies. These can be imported from sketches, other images, and scanned data, or can be directly created in the program and included in the design file.
3D animation services with SolidWorks
Our designers use the animation features in SolidWorks to bring your 3D model prototype to the next level. Adding animation to a prototype lets you see the full range of motion of your product and identify any areas of its functionality that need to be tweaked or improved before production begins.
It also helps you to see how the different parts of an assembly will interact with each other, which may or may not be how you had initially intended. If changes need to be made to the functionality of the assembly, it’s better to get them out of the way before they become expensive production problems.
