I need an experienced SolidWorks designer to take my hand-drawn and dimensional sketches of a small mechanical component and turn them into production-ready CAD files. The end goal is full-scale manufacturing, so every radius, tolerance, and thread must be modeled exactly as called out in my notes. The workflow I have in mind is straightforward: model the part in SolidWorks, verify fit and function with simple motion checks, then generate a clean STEP file that my CNC supplier can import directly into Mastercam. If you prefer to create tool-paths yourself, I’m open to that as well, but the STEP file is the only mandatory deliverable. To keep things moving, I’ll share reference photos, critical dimensions, and any GD&T requirements during our kickoff. I’m happy to jump on a quick call to clarify intent before you start. Turnaround within a few days would be ideal; accuracy and manufacturability come first. Deliverables • Native SolidWorks file (.sldprt / .sldasm if assemblies) • Final STEP file ready for CNC programming • Short PDF drawing with key dimensions and tolerances (optional but appreciated) If this sounds like a quick win for you, let’s get started.

Hi there, your job post caught my attention because I have taken hand drawn sketches and dimensional notes for small mechanical components and turned them into production ready SolidWorks models and STEP files for CNC manufacturing. I recently completed a similar part with tight tolerances and threaded features, and the supplier imported the STEP directly into Mastercam without any issues. I can model your part, run basic motion checks, deliver the native SolidWorks file, STEP file, and an optional PDF drawing with key dimensions. Let me know your timeline and any critical tolerances.
