I will do sheet metal design, enclosure design, 3d cad model, solidworks, 2d drawing


About this gig
As a Mechanical and Industrial Design Engineer with 3+ years of experience, I deliver high-ticket sheet metal design and enclosure design assets using solidworks sheet metal for robust engineering and advanced 2d drawing applications. I specialize in transforming raw electronic schematics, component layouts, and industrial concepts into highly accurate, production-ready enclosures optimized for real-world bending and laser cutting operations.
Services I Offer:
- Custom electronic instrument, sensor, and hardware enclosure design
- Sheet metal design with precise bend allowances and K-factors
- Flat pattern generation for seamless laser cutting and punching CNCs
- Detailed 2D drawing blueprints with geometric tolerancing (GD&T)
- Hardware integration including PEM fasteners, rivets, and hinges
Tools I Use:
- SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Onshape
File Formats Delivered:
- STEP, IGES, DXF flat patterns, native SLDPRT, PDF
Why Work With Me?
- Unlimited Revisions for total operational accuracy
- Direct factory manufacturing and DFM compliance validation
- Clean, unsuppressed, editable feature-driven sheet metal parts

FAQ
What parameters do you need to start a sheet metal design project?
To begin an accurate enclosure design, please provide the maximum dimensions of your internal components, PCB models, or overall spatial constraints. Additionally, knowing your target material type and sheet thickness helps establish correct bend parameters inside solidworks sheet metal. Message me
Do you include correct bend allowances or K-factors in the design?
Yes, my sheet metal design workflow incorporates accurate K-factor values based on your manufacturing shop's bending setup. This ensures that the generated flat patterns fold perfectly into the desired 3D dimensions without material tearing or dimensional drift.
Will I receive the exact DXF files needed for laser or plasma cutting?
Absolutely. Every standard and premium package includes clean, unfolded flat pattern DXF files alongside the primary 3D model. These flat patterns are exported with clean geometries ready to be loaded straight into CNC cutting software.
Can you build a custom enclosure around my existing electronics or PCB layout?
Yes, I specialize in designing rugged, functional housing around electronic hardware. You can provide your PCB STEP files, and I will build an optimized solidworks sheet metal casing with proper clearance zones, connector cutouts, and ventilation.
How do you handle mounting hardware like PEM nuts, standoffs, or rivets?
I integrate standard industrial hardware catalogs directly into the 3D assemblies. Every hole cutout is explicitly sized to match standard manufacturing specifications for self-clinching fasteners, ensuring perfect component alignment during final assembly.
Do your models respect real-world workshop bending limitations?
Yes, every enclosure design is carefully checked against real-world DFM constraints. I verify minimum bend radii, feature-to-bend clearances, and tooling limits to prevent features from deforming during the physical fabrication process.
