3 Ways To INSTANTLY Charge More For Your Solidworks Projects (or any other CAD) 

hi

@@jaredgarbo3679 can you tell me some website or how to start freelancing in mechanical design

I know people use Fiver and Up-work to freelance CAD work.

start wit UpWork

boom! AmAZING!

I appreciate that!

Happy to hear that!

everyone needs one!

I am very happy to hear that! Congratulations

soon!

Its just another way of looking at things, once you know their budget, you can have a look at what they are looking for, and then inform them regarding the real budget, or often then not people are unaware of how niche CAD is, and the costs that come with it.

sorry I gave you the wrong impression

Lmao @jeroboam4486 failed an engineering class and decided to choose violence in the comments section 😂😂😂😂

Bro what! Who hurt you.

there are ways to guarantee a 100% fit, that can be achieve through using GD&T or getting standard components

no bucket,just the tub and rinsed under the harness as the last bit. the storage is an issue for this design as this is not foldable. I should have made it foldable

duck and move! :)) it makes your job harder and you have to simplify it for them. unfortunately, that's the case in many situations

Document the scope. Charge a fixed fee for the work. Then get a change order when the scope changes.

oh he was so not!

Merci

Awesome! Thank you!

you gotta reach out to them with a strong pitch and portfolio to back you up. They won't reach out to you. Start working on building a strong portfolio and gaininng experience. Then you have to work on your "sales" techniques.

After a few years of experience its always better to even start your own gig, the market at times based on your locality might never give you the rate you demand, that is why setting a business online can help, and since you are the Boss, you can demand your rate and clients will pay that, as long as you delivery quality work.

I've been in design for over 30 years. One thing you can always use to help with getting more money than the initial job pays is to add bonus programs to your job performance. Bonuses are looked at different, it just depends on the company. I'm in the same situation as far as I need a way to market myself to get the compensation I feel is deserved for the work that I can do. I'm just looking now, I've got a great portfolio but getting a good client that needs exactly what I am really good at is the tough part. Always be looking or you miss the great opportunities. I've found the best all around is engineering/manufacturing contract businesses. They get allot of diverse projects that keep you moving. Good luck.

Hi Thiago! It's great to hear that you're interested in freelancing as a CAD designer. SolidWorks knowledge is a valuable skill in the industry. To determine if your skills are sufficient for freelancing, you can start by building a portfolio showcasing your SolidWorks projects and designs. This will demonstrate your capabilities to potential clients. When it comes to professional design, there are some important factors to consider. It's crucial to have a good understanding of design principles, engineering standards, and best practices. Familiarize yourself with industry-specific requirements and regulations that may apply to the projects you work on. Communication and collaboration skills are also essential, as you'll need to interact with clients to understand their needs and deliver designs that meet their expectations. Additionally, continuous learning and staying updated with new features and techniques in SolidWorks will help you improve your skills and stay competitive in the field. Starting with smaller projects and gradually expanding your client base can help you gain valuable experience and confidence as a freelance CAD designer. Good luck on your journey, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions!

These are the kind of message I love hearing, it tells me the hard work I put into making these videos is helping helping break out from their comfort zone and push to higher grounds.

It's very interesting that you ask! It's under construction, and will be out in February. If you want to stay tunned, sign up to my mailing list so you get it with a launching discount , just sign up here courses.solidworkstutorials.net/Webinar-Registration?utm=SCPHomeCTA

@@with-Aryan Thank you Aryan, I am on your list already :) Great content, man!!!

Glad it was helpful!

You make some valid points about factors that can affect the hourly rate for 3D modeling services, such as the complexity of the model and the level of detail required. Additionally, incorporating parametric modeling, GD&T, and other design elements can require specialized knowledge and skills, which may also impact the hourly rate. I agree that quality is an important consideration when it comes to 3D modeling, and factors such as ease of editing and translation can have a significant impact on the overall quality of the design. However, it's also important to consider other factors such as the level of experience and expertise of the designer, as well as their ability to communicate effectively with clients and other stakeholders. Regarding GD&T, I agree that this can be a complex topic that requires specialized knowledge and math skills. However, it's also an important aspect of many engineering and manufacturing processes, and can help ensure that designs are functional, manufacturable, and meet the required specifications. As you mentioned, machinists may struggle with this level of math, which is why it's important for designers to have a solid understanding of GD&T and be able to effectively communicate with all stakeholders throughout the design process. Overall, the hourly rate for 3D modeling services can depend on a variety of factors, and it's important for both clients and designers to carefully consider these factors and ensure that the services provided meet their needs and expectations.

I know them. They are good too

My pleasure! Thanks for watching

oh yeah! it's not a product ready to be sold! it's only a POC

​@@with-Aryan-yes, POC would be an acronym for it..

Because of the high gear ratio the worm gear has a lot of tourqe, it takes a lot of force to move the worm gear from the side that the strings are on for that reason. You could do calculations to figure out the torque of the worm gear, then make a free body diagram to see that it takes a lot of downward force to overcome the torque.

high reduction worm gears are not reversible. you do not need a backstop device. but still i am amazed by the printed pulleys' strength.

Not at all, the worm gearbox has a one way transmission, can’t rotate reverse

@@with-Aryan well technically it can rotate in reverse, it's just not back driveable

I'll look into it

sometimes yes, sometimes no. You will face all sorts of challenges

Hi, thank you for watching!

Faster to work through it maybe you are right. but when it comes to actually ordering those parts, you will be exponentially slower and spend considerably more time to create drawings right, find vendors, email them and ask them for quotes, wait 2 or 3 days for their response (IF they can do it), please the order the next day, so I stand corrected. My way is considerably faster buddy, you gotta trust me on this one

@@with-Aryan depends what is your aim of design. Save time on modeling or save time on ordering?

Sadly but I cannot help you with work at the moment. But have a look at websites like Upwork or Freelancer.com

@@with-Aryan okay. Thanks

there is a 75% discount right now if you check my page! until the end of the year. Would that help solve your problem?

Misumi, the link is in the description

Yes! Thank you for watching dawsh

Thanks, can’t remember

No, because it needs to be an actual manufactured product in their inventory. It's not like GrabCAD.

Yes they can! they do custome parts as well!

They don't have an account there sadly. Would their website in India deliver to Pakistan maybe? in.misumi-ec.com/ I am not sure about the regulations!

You are so welcome!

Most welcome 😊

Enroll in my course! Honestly! it's the best way. OR, practice practice and practice! That's the only way. Only in my course, you'll move much smarter and faster

salam, chashm

Nothing free is worth the effort, it’s premium because it pays off

That question is the difference between making no money and making a lot of money. That's up to you and your skills on how to market yourself, on freelance websites? your local network? Going to exhibitions? running ads?...

​@@with-Aryanif you have more coustomer then can you give some work to Me. I have less work coming in Solidwork. Thank you

thanks!

no sir

It's valid! That's the point where you charge for your engineering skills over your sw skills. Well said
