I will design solidworks sheet metal enclosures, weldments, and flat patterns


About this gig
Sheet metal and weldments require precise engineering for correct bend allowances, K-factors, and structural fitment.
I am a Mechanical Engineer specializing in SolidWorks and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). From custom sheet metal enclosures to heavy structural weldment frames, I deliver production-ready 3D CAD models, flat patterns, and cut lists your shop can build accurately.
**What I Offer:**
- Sheet Metal & Weldment 3D CAD Modeling
- Flat-Pattern DXF Files for Laser/Plasma Cutting
- Structural Frames, Chassis, & Weldment Cut Lists
- Custom Enclosures, Brackets, & Mounts
- 2D Manufacturing Blueprints & Fabrication Drawings
- K-Factor & Bend Allowance Optimization
**Why Choose Me?**
**Fabrication-Ready:** Designed specifically for press brakes, laser cutting, and welding.
**Clash-Free Assembly:** Strict focus on structural tolerances and correct fitment.
**Zero Friction:** Clear package scopes eliminate guesswork and delays.
**File Outcomes:**
**3D CAD:** SLDPRT, SLDASM, STEP, IGES
**2D Drawings:** SLDDRW, PDF
**Production:** Flat-pattern DXF, DWG, Cut Lists

FAQ
Do I need to message you before placing an order?
No. If your sheet metal part or weldment structure fits the parameters of the Basic, Standard, or Premium packages, you can place your order immediately. If you have an exceptionally complex assembly with hundreds of components, please message me first for a custom quote.
What information do you need to start the design?
I need a clear explanation of your mechanical requirements. Please provide hand-drawn sketches with rough dimensions, photos of similar enclosures or frames, 2D PDF blueprints, or a detailed design brief outlining the intended fabrication method.
Do you calculate bend allowances and K-factors?
Yes. As a Mechanical Engineer, I design specifically for real-world sheet metal fabrication. I apply the correct K-factors and bend deductions based on your material thickness and tooling requirements to ensure the flat pattern bends perfectly into the final 3D shape.
What file formats will I receive?
I provide native SolidWorks files (.SLDPRT, .SLDASM, .SLDDRW) and universal formats for manufacturing. Crucially for this gig, I provide accurate DXF flat patterns ready for CNC laser or plasma cutting, as well as STEP files and PDF blueprints.
Can you provide structural weldment cut lists?
Yes. For any frame or chassis design using structural profiles (tubing, angle iron, C-channel), I can generate a detailed weldment cut list table as a Gig Extra so your fabricator knows exactly how to cut the raw stock.
