What does a freelance SolidWorks designer do?

SolidWorks is a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) program. A freelance SolidWorks designer uses this program to produce three-dimensional models for construction and engineering projects on a short- or long-term contract basis. In this role, you work with manufacturers and installers of customized systems (such as HVAC or plumbing) to develop a process structure that meets your client's needs and expectations. Your specific job duties vary, depending on the project. But general responsibilities include drafting the design and using the software to create 3D renderings. You must input the data necessary to ensure your images meet the project's criteria.
