SolidWorks CAD Design & Engineering Support
Guenzo builds native SolidWorks parts, assemblies, sheet metal models, weldments and manufacturing drawings for companies that need CAD their suppliers can quote and produce. Work is delivered as SLDPRT, SLDASM and SLDDRW files together with STEP, Parasolid, DXF and PDF outputs.
Based in Liepāja, we deliver SolidWorks work remotely to engineering teams in Riga and across Latvia, and to manufacturers throughout Scandinavia, Europe and internationally.
Who this service is for
- In-house engineering teams that need SolidWorks overflow capacity
- Hardware startups without a full-time CAD engineer
- Companies migrating files from other CAD systems into SolidWorks
Problems we solve
- No in-house SolidWorks capacity for the current workload
- Files in other CAD systems that must be rebuilt in SolidWorks
- Sheet metal parts modelled incorrectly, producing wrong DXF flat patterns
- Drawings that suppliers reject or misinterpret
Deliverables
- SolidWorks parts, assemblies and drawings (SLDPRT/SLDASM/SLDDRW)
- Sheet metal models with bend tables and DXF flat patterns
- Weldment and structural assemblies
- STEP, IGES and Parasolid exports for suppliers
- PDF manufacturing drawings with GD&T
- Configurations, design tables and family-of-parts setups
Software we use
- SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings)
- SolidWorks Sheet Metal and Weldments
- SolidWorks Simulation (FEA)
- DraftSight / AutoCAD for 2D and DXF
- STEP / IGES / Parasolid for neutral exchange
Supported manufacturing methods
- Sheet metal: laser, punching, bending
- CNC milling and turning
- Welded steel and aluminium frames
- 3D printing (FDM, SLA, SLS) for prototypes
Example projects
- Convert 2D drawings or other CAD formats into SolidWorks
- Build a SolidWorks assembly from an existing prototype
- Create sheet metal SolidWorks models with DXF flat patterns
- Maintain a SolidWorks part library for a product family
Process
- Receive files: Sketches, STEP, IGES, screenshots, or existing drawings.
- Model in SolidWorks: Parametric parts, mates, sheet metal, weldments.
- Drawings & exports: GD&T drawings, STEP, DXF, BOM, PDF.
- Handover: Native SolidWorks files plus neutral formats for your suppliers.
Need Ongoing SolidWorks Capacity?
Some clients use us for a single model or drawing set; others keep a recurring block of SolidWorks work with us every month. Both are normal.
- Recurring SolidWorks modelling for new parts and product variants
- Assembly updates as components, suppliers or interfaces change
- Drawing production and revision sweeps across a product line
- Sheet metal parts with correct bends and DXF flat patterns
- Weldment and frame updates for fabrication
- Cleanup of imported or broken feature trees
- Engineering change work and manufacturing release packages
- Overflow capacity while your own engineers are on other projects
Engagement Options for Recurring SolidWorks Work
For recurring SolidWorks workloads, typical Guenzo engineering rates are €35–45/hour, with some clearly defined CAD production work starting from €30/hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Guenzo create SolidWorks CAD models from scratch?
Yes. We build SolidWorks parts, assemblies and drawings from sketches, requirements, photos, or other CAD formats.
Do you provide native SolidWorks files?
Yes. We hand over native SLDPRT, SLDASM and SLDDRW files together with neutral STEP, DXF and PDF exports.
How much does ongoing SolidWorks support cost?
Ongoing SolidWorks and mechanical engineering support is typically €35–45/hour, and clearly defined CAD production or drafting work can start from €30/hour. Fixed-price quotations are available for well-defined scopes. Rates depend on project complexity, engineering responsibility, required software, workload volume and duration of cooperation.
Do you work with companies outside Latvia?
Yes. We work remotely with companies across Europe and internationally. Most projects are run by email, video calls, and shared cloud folders.
What CAD file formats can you deliver?
Native SolidWorks (SLDPRT, SLDASM, SLDDRW), STEP, IGES, Parasolid, STL for 3D printing, DXF for laser/waterjet/sheet metal, and PDF manufacturing drawings.
Can you sign an NDA before we share project details?
Yes. We routinely sign NDAs before reviewing concepts, sketches, or existing CAD data.
