I don’t charge an hourly rate. I charge $3-5k per job based on the results. I don’t provide a design service. I provide a route to manufacture…it’s all the mindset
so nice
what happen when you woke up??? ahahah
Man some guys are so good. I passed the CSWA but I don’t think I could make that faucet yet. Becoming an expert in Solidworks takes a lot of practice.
It does and if you have the right mentor you’ll get there much faster
hey it'd be nice to get your thoughts on the exam itself, I've done a handful of tutorials but it'd be cool to share experiences sometime
@@randomness4272 I took and passed the CSWA with a perfect score in my Freshman or Sophomore year of college. The exam is okay, but honestly a lot of hiring managers I've spoken to are not overly impressed with the skill set that the CSWA requires. For example: you're not necessarily going to understand the need for hole wizard features, patterning features, etc. but those are critical for efficient and functional modeling. It also doesn't really give you more "expensive" skills like surface modeling (worth looking into if you want to do consumer product design), sheet metal design, design for plastic injection manufacturing, etc.
Honestly I would look into getting skilled at Solidworks and aiming for the professional certification instead.
I did autoCAD back in the university, it was one of my favorite courses.
Now because of Job market I want to specify in SOLIDWORKS and Fusion 360, possibly would love to learn ANSYS DISCOVERY too.
What's your take on that. Is it possible I can be doing or learning all at the same?
Please suggest and guide me
because solidworks doesnt make parts... YOU DO!@@Satchel456
As a person with 40 years of engineering experience l can tell you being able to operate a cad program does not make you a designer. It makes you a drafting person with a sophisticated pencil. What makes you a designer is an education in design plus years of experience. CAD is a tool in the same regard as a hammer and chisel are tools.
You are wrong. It goes both ways. I have been a CAD (computer aided designer) for 30 years and most of the design is done by us. Most of our engineers are there to run calculations and analysis to make sure that our designs are up for the task. They have very little to zero design capabilities. Of course, there are some amazing design engineers that can do what I can't.
I get both your points and you both have more work experience than me. I have 10 years of engineering work and 15 years of SOLIDWORKS. @John, that hammer and chisel in the hands of a Michael Angelo would give you statues that leave you in awe.
@@jtcmlt1l am not wrong. Being able to draw or model something does not give you the ability to understand materials or manufacturing processes and the constrains they impose on the design.
@@johnbrown6189 Well, with 40 years in the engineering field, you should know that today drafters are way more diverse and take on a lot more responsibilities and challenges than back on the days. We have, and continue getting, "drafters" that can design, run calcs, run stress analysis, understand mechanical and structural loads and applications, etc, etc, etc. Engineers are freeing some of their time so they can invest it on things that we can't do.
@@johnbrown6189 Check out the arrogance on that - "I am not wrong", okay pal, sure thing.
When I first started university, I was the dumbest at CAD and I used to ask my lecturers at college “how is this related to my field of engineering which is aerospace engineering?” And today I understand the value of solidworks designing in every engineering industry and it is now my favorite subject and topic to work with 👍🏻
you asked why solidworks was related to aerospace engineering?
you know it now, that's the most important thing
I also study aerospace engineering and I just downloaded solidworks. It's a nice comment to see
@@flborges I’m glad you liked it. It’s my favorite and dream engineering field. 👍🏻
Catia is better for Aerospace field, but keep up bro
I also study Aerospace Engineering
I just did my first job, very basic for $50/hr. I charged for 3 hours when my design ultimately took about 5. I think it’s ok to have a lower hourly rate and eat some cost if you are new to modeling- it’s a real world test that gives you practice and makes you better, and you get paid for something you would’ve been practicing anyway!
Daniel Crawford ..can u please give me idea of freelancing jobs
How skilled are you?
@@with-Aryan I'm completed my diploma in mechanical engg work at R & D testing...& Validation ...
@@mukeshkumar-lm7mh how good are you at SOLIDWORKS and do you know any GD&T?
@@with-Aryan Hello do you teach in your course any GD&T?
Solidworks its just a tool! Im steel designer and I earn sometimes $500/hr and sometimes $250/hr. Because its depend what are you doing. I think im very fast about solidworks workflow, so then its just about your knowledge in the field of your work. I have no fuckin any CSWA or any self-proclaimed titles. Im engineer and do real stuff. SO the most important thing its not how good you are in solidworks but whats your knowledge!!
You are absolutely correct. money is made by engineering not just modeling unrealistic designs
Hi Sir, would you mind if you give me your advice for witch field in solidworks I focus in and follow (most paid) : simulation or workflow or motion...? Because I'm new in this mater.
Thank you in advance
@@soufiane6596 My advice is. Go to the university. (or start somewhere like draftsman....) Learn, listen, be humble and open minded. Listen older engineers with skill (becouse they already struggle with problem and engineeing is constantly struglle and fail.)Today many jobs are highly specialized. I do mostly sheet metal and welding structures.. So its depend. The most overpaid jobs in my field is Static engineer. No problem 10k per month. But this job requires deegre and many experience.
@@lukaskantor2645 Thank you Sir for your speeeeeed answer.
I tried Upwork a few times, but the ratio of good clients to complete novice time wasters with no cash was really bad. Not to mention that most of the time I was fighting for work against India and Pakistan.
So the clients had really cheap expectations on what it would cost and my competition was cheap too. It was a no win situation. Spent most of my time sifting thru bullshit jobs to find 1 in 50 "ok" clients.
I started at $50 an hour but dropped it to $40 and would often have to do a quick model to show the client I could really do the job in order to even get a reply from them.
My experience with it really sucked.
Then don't compete there. DOnt bring your price down if you are good
@@with-Aryan Where would you suggest to advertise?
Had a similar experience as a dev, it's disheartening and not the way forward IMO. It's contracting but on a global scale and to the lowest desperate bidder for essentially slave labor.
@@phantomgarage1208 I'd suggest build your way out instead of subordinating yourself to indifferent asshole clients. Interpret that as you wish. Contract work is slave labor.
Matt, my experience on the other side is exactly the same. I've tried scouring through the upwork contractors as I've had people want to charge 50hrs for a part I can do in 2. I'm still looking for someone to contract reproduce drawings or reverse engineer from parts if you're still looking for side work.
Modelling is easy, its producing a decent drawing to the relevant standards which is a skill and using the correct GD&T.
Boom
More Modeling competitions would be something I’d definitely watch
I’ll consider it
Wanted to be part of it.🤗🤗🤗
I recently joined the solidworks model mania this year and sadly, I lost. Forgot to hollow out a certain area of the object and missed the correct mass by a large number.
I'd take another point off the expensive one because the spiral didn't go up into the curved part.
For everyone who is going to run straight to their computers after watching this and start an account in a freelancing website expecting to make money: Finding a project as a beginner freelancer is one of the hardest things to do on earth from my personal experience. Believe me, it is very very very very hard. I am person who tried a lot of stuff to do freelance (not just CAD design) for almost 3 years while I lived in 2 different continents, and I could not find a single job, other than some fake guys who tried to get free service from me.
So before you try this, keep in mind that it can take ages to start with something as a freelancer!!
Very well said
be careful with these service seekers, sometime they just post a job, just to get an interview with you. just enough to get an idea on how it can be done. before doing by themselves
exactly, people dont get it there are million people from India, China , Bangladesh who work for 5 dollar per hour. also, you need to have relebvant experience at industry and references
For my internship I was paid $20 an hour for modeling components for my work's hardware library. I now make $40 an hour doing CAD modeling and drawings with GD&T. Every part I model needs a drawing and every drawing has GD&T. I do not do freelance work but I am potentially interested in doing it in the future. At work I use PTC's Creo Parametric but if I was doing freelance work I would probably want to use SOLIDWORKS because I like the software more than Creo and the license is cheaper.
In india i am getting paid 15$ per day😅and it's above average....
for 8 hours of work?!
you are charging too low. Where you located?
I also have 10+ years using Creo, teaching it and setting up the configs and templates. But in the last 2 years I have been using Onshape more regularly and it is very similar to Solidworks but completely cloud based with built in PDM
Buddy Can you help me for solidworks freelansing ? I have a 7 years of work experience in solidworks .
Hey Aryan, new to you channel and loved the video. The thing I would like in supplementary would be for you to model this your way! You seem to have your shortcuts and ways of making this design, and seeing that would be great.
Thanks for the idea!
Completely agree! I was waiting to see your 250$/hr design. Too bad that you exclude to show your own design.
Hey Aryan! I'm a CS student, but love sketching precise CA designs and figuring out manufacturing methods. Do you think I can get "my foot in the door" as a non-mechanical engineer? Thanks for your videos - they're great!
Yes, definitely! Definately! You'll find the way, just do it
Hi Sunraii, Most students learn 2 semesters every week 2-4hours the basics. So it's definitely possible.
@@with-Aryan
I'm 3d modeler in solid works I want job
I'd charge a minimum of $120/hr for my time. I currently do automation work for a medical device company where I make automated equipment and fixtures for mass production. I'd say I'm fairly skilled (working in industry for 4 years but working with SW for 8 years). Does that rate sound reasonable at all? Seems like everyone is doing dirt cheap work.
The value you bring to your client through your work should define your rate not just years of experience. Do you do GD&T? Raise your rate. Do you do MDR usability? Raise it. But I'd say you are charging about right for now. Consider increasing it soon
@@with-Aryan I like that. I know I'm a good designer so I'll definitely remind customers that my ingenuity is part of the cost. Definitely do GD&T where needed. No MDR but I also do DFM. Will increase rate when I get my CSWA and CSWP passed. Been wanting to do it for years and you inspired me to do it.
You are right! Don't sell ourselves Cheap! Thank You for Inspiring! All the Best to you and your Channel!🤗🤗🤗
Thanks
Video is 11 minutes long. I have already figured out how to manufacture this in that time. Modeling is easy, modelling for manufacture takes longer. I may make some of these and sell....
Glad it helped

Solidworks is a tool. Like a pen. Knowing how to use it, cool. Knowing how to design something and find technical solution that are valid and go on an improvment process on engineering point of view is what is valuable. Have technical and engineering knowledge; Solidworks or any other CAD software knowledge alone is nothing.
I agree, that's why I just uploaded a new video yesterday and explained that
You have to be able to do more than just drive solidworks. If you can't design something that can be manufactured then you are useless. Believe me, we go through this hourly where I work. The guy in India doing our design work can drive the CAD software but he is completely useless when it comes to designing something that we can make. This is a continual problem with these Indian "experts". So I wouldn't listen to this Aryan bloke. Has he ever actually designed something that was then really made in metal?
So so true, if you don't know the field of engineering.... The design practice will be awful.
Very accurate! I'm glad you pointed that out. The design doesn't end on SOLDIWORKS. You have to take the next steps into account. The manufacturing, the tolerance and the manufacturing process
I made my computer investment and I don't want to work connected to a place anymore.
I have been using solidworks for 20 years and I appreciate you very much.
I am sure that I can earn much more on these platforms than I can earn in the country I live in, but I have a handicap to keep my hourly wage low.
If only I could be visible. I can help people from all over the world and earn money
Just being able to model something isnt worth much to anybody. You need to model things in a technological way so that it can be manufactured, this is what clients are willing to pay for. You need deep understanding of machinery and tools to make good designs and drawings. All this takes years of hands on experience in the industry.
Yes!!!
sir, i am working on solid works and creo (PTC) last 10 years but I didn't earn a single penny online sir kindly teach me how to earn money online
it's not something I can answer to you as a comment. I'll look into it.
I was doing gating design in solidworks, transferring it to inspire cast for solidification for solidification models. I was paid 17.50hr asked for a raise, got 50k only 40hrs. Then I started learning the faro quantum arm for dementions. They never offered me training for the scanner and I almost had it figured out after a couple projects. They wanted me to train someone and after telling them I want more money if my duties keep growing and I got fired.
This happens in our field buddy. Sorry to hear it. Ive trained a replacement before too.
could you explain more what those terms mean? inspire cast and solidification?
Inspire cast is a software that does solidification models. It allows you to set up pour temperature of metals and simulate the pour of casted metals into the designed mold. Inspire cast is made by Altair.
So I was thinking even 250 was way too cheap for a functional design, and got curious when I started thinking about mounting hardware, plumbing fittings, and the aerator. Ended up looking for the original as reference and I was right, 250 is WAY too cheap for this work. I found it for sale in two places, and they're selling these things for 17,413.95 each! With that information, you could probably charge more like 2~5k for a production ready model. Metal 3d printing is expensive, so anyone seriously considering it as an option should have that kind of budget.
Agreed to actually make that work, rather than just a pretty model is totally different.
Couldn't agree more. But don't forget that this was solely a SOLIDWORKS modeling test. None of these models were production-ready and (maybe unfortunately) I didn't define that for them in my request
In which parallel universe are we talking about a production ready model here (in both, the assignment and the results) ?
@@gerdokurt The assignment mentioned the tubes needing to be hollow so water gets through, and "it should work" was part of the request. So I would base my quote on something you could actually mount and run water through.
@@sleepib Bro, tell me how you mount it. I dont see any thread. How does the water goes in the tubes? Where are sealings, the sprayer etc. etc. etc..
This is not a production ready product, its not even a proper design prototype. you can probably print it and arrange it for a small foto...
I wouldnt pay 30 euros for this. A guy in vietnam using freecad or blender does a model like that within an hour.

If you are an employee - you get paid around $40 an hour - but your boss bills you out at $140+ per hour.
If you work for yourself, you need to be in the $140 an hour range or you will not cover your costs and your average hourly income will be less than $40 after all expenses and taxes.
The rule is - you should bring in 3x the salary you want to pay yourself.
well said
How do you even get clients??
@@shivanshsharma72hh referrals, use your contacts, family etc. otherwise get a job 1st, then create a client list. If your the best, the clients will look for you. Win awards etc..
@@player1tv oh thank you im currently looking for job
Employees have to pay taxes too.
Wow, this is really terrible models, I can do this way better. Neve thought I can sell this kind of work online, surely will know more about this. I work with Solidworks for years and had develop a very fast way to model.
It's called owning a business. You can't make $100K a year just because you can draw. It's a lot more than just that, you need a pretty large customer base to make that kind of money. Stop making ridiculously incorrect RUclips videos.
wrong!
I could explain to you why your opinion (while respectable) is wrong, but I don't think you are interested in my opinion
As a business owner, please enlighten me. So you're saying a kid fresh with an engineering degree could sit at home drawing on SOLIDWORKS making $100K a year?
AutoCad drafter here, charge $100 hr all day every day based in Australia. Drawing mostly 2d As-Builts for Electricians / Fire Services / plumbers etc
Sounds good. Depending on how much know-how and experience you are bringing into your work, you could raise that price. What matters the most in your hourly rate, is the amount of value your client is getting from you. If your 1 hour work eqauls or beats 10 hours of work of an intermediate's, then you should be charging 10x his/her rate
How many times do you have jobs and where do you offer yourself? I am quite good at AutoCAD but I am syuduing but I would like to get some side money.
Thanks.
@@rbasket8 have slowly built up a client base over the years, most of them become repeat customers. The problem with a lot of these companies is they aren't quite big enough to hire a draftsman full time, its cheaper for them to pay me $1000 a month to work on a project here and there, than to hire someone full time. You just need to find these mid sized companies and introduce yourself. The other options is to try searching a online job boards like seek or indeed, find a job listing older than 30 days and ring the company offering your services, we are in a once in a lifetime market where the employee sets the price! All those platforms like fiverr are just a race to the bottom $ wise, you are competing with someone on the other side of the world who would do the job for 1/10th of the price. fuck that. I have an advantage over others as I am very good at what I do, which means if something takes me 1 hour to complete, it would take a regular worker 2-3 hence why I charge 3x the price. Moral of the story here is get out there and do something, nothing is just going to fall into your lap.
@@with-Aryan Exactly! I'm very lucky to have been trained by someone at the top of their game, for instance, a common drawing in my field (not related to my above comment) takes me 1.5 - 2hrs to complete, I know for a fact that it takes draftsman at other companies 8hrs! You can't just walk into a job and start charging that kind of money for something, you have to be good at what you do. Can see from your video here that you know what your doing as well. My advise for any Cad drafters is learn the shortcuts, then customize your keyboard commands. If you're still using the ribbon for everything after a week then you may as well give up and get another job.

Experience is what makes you good.
Passion is what fuels the efforts to gain experience. Good education and good tools help you get good faster. I love SW but it is my passion and 20yrs designing stuff that makes me feel like i am good at what i do. If i do say so myself! 💩. By best teachers were my mistakes!
Absolutely
Hey man! I really love the way you work! There are things that I don't quite understand in what you did. Regarding the first sweep. It disappeared after you made Sketch 8. Is it some feature to do it?
To keep the sweep sketch and making another sweep with it.

Hi aryan, currently in my last year of college. I have 3 years of experience with solidworks. After this 'course' im gonna study further for like another 4 years of mechanical engineering/solidworks. Would u suggest me to already start doing jobs? or just start practicing more for better, and complexer work etc.
Start already
Start doing jobs mate. Learn quicker that way.
hello @aryan, I have experience of Solidworks CAD of more than 10 years and I have produced Full machines using SW, the machines where Bill of material is so large that it needs an ERP system and team of atleast 20 people to manufacture the machine within timeline. I have tried upwork but I had to lower my rate to 30$ to atleast land a few jobs. On top of that, I have done much more complex work then I can find on upwork. I mean I have literally designed machine from scratch to physical machine that sells in more than 500,000$. I am at a stage where I don't know how to find the correct client that has requirement of such high skills. Can you please help and guide on what to do and how to keep my company working?
where do you usually look for clients? country, market etc?
You are too generous.
The first one should have been a zero as he didn't follow the design restriction / limits.
20 Years experience and I charge 225 per hour. I have designed parts and assemblies for Schlage, Alarm Lock, DEX, Ingersoll Rand, The U.S. Navy, General Dynamics, Pratt and Whitney, and so on. I have personally designed all of the washing machines and dryers for the Navy surface ships and submarines, powder metal tooling, blow mold machines and molds, Rolling Mills, Draw Benches, Wire Payoffs and Take ups, Spring coiling machinery, production lines for assembly of various products, electronic locking devices and multi point panic bar assemblies.
Legend! What are you up to now?
Trying to make $100,000 a year as an industrial designer who freelances is possible, however difficult as there are many who are well versed in part design, assemblies, and surface modeling. You can make much more than $100,000 with Solidworks. Solidworks has a much broader capability. Check out the areas not commonly spoken about. Solidworks Electrical, CAM, Composer, MDB, simulation, motion, plastics, and flow simulation.
Engineering Analysis is a whole field that few speak about and it offers great compensation. Solidworks is a great software with many embedded and 3rd part addins.
Well said!
Hi Aryan, I'm a student of Mechanical Engineering, I've used SolidWorks for 2-3 years in university and about 1.5 years at my internship. How can I get into freelancing and what would be a good rate if I'm not confident in modelling complex things? Great video as always!
The most important thing to work on first is a portfolio, go ahead and browser other Top portfolios on the same freelancing sights, and try and replicate them. Another thing that helps come up with a cost is just focus on an hourly rate, all you have to do now is just check how many hours it will take you to finish a gig. With practice all of this will become second nature.
Graduate from university and having experience with solid works starting with $22 /per . Life is hard.
You could build a strong portfolio and increase your rate alongside with it
I worked 15 years with solid works now.
I'm a mechanical engineer we design special machines mostly for automotive industry here in Germany. Unfortunately I don't get a 100k/year 😅
I've been an employee too and I too live in Germany. I understand. You could use your creativity to think outside the box and design a machine with the knowledge you have and use the connections from your current work to maybe start a company?
I absolutely resent the $250 job! It doesn't cost anything. This piece of file does not match the reference. What difference does it make how much the author spent time and effort, if the work does not correspond to the task? When you order dinner in a restaurant, you are not interested in how much effort the chef spent? You need your dish, not just a set of ingredients.
very good point. The result is what matters. But since I didn't define the constraints too much, I couldn't press my finger on it
This video was so helpful! Does anyone have any tips on starting out 🙏
I used to work as a solidworks CAD designer in a engineering consultancy firm. They would charge 120$/h to clients for my work
Do you offer any tolerancing, in your drawings? Or taking the manufacturablity into account? because your rate is fair and I want to understand what comes with it if I ordered from you
@@with-Aryan I do invest a lot of time in DFM prior to the modeling, work mostly with surfaces and curvatures (when applicable), and TRY to configure all models geometrically (not always easy😅). I consider myself an average 2D drawer but know my way through geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
99% of people listed there price around 50$ need to be very careful. There are law firms fishing around and looking for people that are using pirated license and if there charging $50 an hour. It’s a good sign that you’re not paying for your solid works license. Just an FYI.
oh that's a good point. Assuming you have the proper license not any other way
Is that actually true though? Or a myth?
Some Solidworks Freelancers even model electronic components for between $1.60 to $3.00/hr.
100k these days just isnt much unfortunately. It takes both my wife and I each making 100k plus to actually feel comfortable. Tough times
what are you doing to earn 100k plus? Whats your job and country if i may ask
@@BigMete0r I’m a project manager for a general contractor .We build commercial tiltwall warehouses and other commercial steel buildings. Texas, USA
If you live in California maybe, but if you live in Manchester UK, Maybe Dallas or other cities, it's not small either
To be honest this is cool design... until someone have to clean inside of this. Probably would have to tie some plastic bag and fill it with some cleaning detergent to wash everything. Other than that... i will say it again - very cool.
the quality is low, but since I didn't define it as a limit for them, I couldn't press my finger on it
Hi Aryan, thank you for the informative video - I'm going to try modelling this myself and I'll let you know how I got on. I'll be following more of your videos!
If you do, kindly email it to me, so that I can have a look at it as well.
I'm currently a 4th year student studying Mechanical Engineering, so I have had pretty decent experience with Solidworks (not an expert). Most likely will be working as a manufacturing engineer as my graduate role. How does one get started on this as a side job? Any courses or things I can do to improve my experience? [Also with CFD and FEA if anyone has any advice]
I’m in the same boat as you man
Graduated a couple years ago with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, my advice for you is to learn a lot more on GD&T and tolerancing. My program only had one class on it, but it has been one of my struggles my first couple years in industry.
Perfectly said
Good question. Look knowing how to model is only the base foundation you must have. But you also need to learn a few complimentary skills on the side such as GD&T, learning a bit about manufacturing process because they are the deciding factor on your modeling. Also, building a portfolio would act like your marketing side which you badly need to create authority.
@@with-Aryan what does "GD/T" mean ?
Aryan, do you know about the feature bounding box in SolidWorks? It's a very helpful tool. Especially when it comes to preparing models to be 3D printed as most service bureaus charge by the bounding volume of whatever you want to print. Both designs were pretty lame, actually. Before you showed the time lapse of your work, I was thinking, "I would model it straight an then use the Flex command."
I don't! I have to look it up. IF you have a link for it, post it here. But no, the first model, despite its off limit dim. Was done well.
Yeah, took me also by surprise he didn't use Bounding Box... :P But truth be told, even Solidworks is so big of a program that no one can truly know all of the functions, and remember that there's a specific function for a niche task you're doing once a year or so.
Great video, first time on your channel and I love what you do

I have 8 year experience as a fitter/welder & sheet metal former. 7 years experience on AutoCAD, learnt the basics from RUclips in my own time on LT then transitioned to 3d within 6 months. Currently employed full time making $48 p/h. Role includes site measuring, drafting shop drawings, installation drawings & the occasional render (for high end clients). Having a fabrication background definitely made my transition to cad easier as I know how to fabricate/install 90% of the products I’m designing.
who are your clients?
@@with-Aryan around 80% commercial & 20% residential customers
@@jacobYaaa you have low per hour rate
I have a diploma in mechanical engineering and currently working in R&D supporting engineering, design, and testing. I am versatile in SolidWorks and GD&T. Please tell me how to get a freelance job. Thank you
Jeez went to check out the pricing on the software after watching this video to see if I could apply my blender experience into SOLIDWORKS and for the price of the software and fees I would hope freelancers are charging more than $250. Are there any alternatives to get started in the SOLIDWORKS ecosystem?
Yes! Student discount, entrepreneur discount, my discount if you enroll in my course, aviation discount. You have to find the best option for you.
Im 18 years old still in highschool and i just got certified with a associates and im super happy, does this technically make me a engineer now even if its beginner/intermediate level??
First of all congratulations on achieving CSWA. Secondly, no man! Being an engineer comes with a sheer volume of experience, know-how, errors and learning . But don’t feel discouraged you are on the right track. Continue strong
Can get remote job after learning solidworks and AutoCAD??? Am from India
not necessarily! You would need to put way more effort than that
Blatantly saying he made 10k dollers and 12k dollars per year is very wrong. One has to also bear the subscription cost of solidworks.
there are solutions for that that are affordable like the entrepreneur license
SolidWorks is a pencil. Without some knowlege of how things are made it's easy to make a model that can only be 3D printed.
I'm not sure if that's a question or a statement
You analysis has got f@$k all to do with engineering design. You don't consider the thermodynamic properties.. please do so next time it would make it more interesting to watch.
Thermodynamic properties was not one of my priorities for this video, but if applicable and appropriate for future projects i'll take it into account.
nonsense. If you are doing real designing maybe but after seeing a chat on this in a few groups the generic rate for solid modeling was 20$/hr and with classes upping supply of users it will drop the salaries. This is just an ad to get more users for the software.
This model is selling for $24,000 on their website. I have posted this before on my channel here on youtube. How much would have charged the owner, if they were going to sell is for this price?
The first guy who offered 75$ made it better, you said water should flow through and he misunderstood like it should be a functional tap so he made all the things right then he added that tube but he could delete it very easy and the clearance is a problem like the four diamonds missing but if you would say him those two problems he would definitely handle that also like even i can make four diamonds there 😂the clearance was absence of mind he can make it again i think you are wrong to choose the other one
no no, i definately described it clearly again to him via chat
i've been doing solidworks design for 3years now.(but no way im on expert level) anyone here give me guide improve my skilss and to earn extra cash?
first you need to be fluent in solidworks. practice and practice for now. dont rush
Plz say can i become a solidworks expert,,? I am not a mechanical student,,!
Yes, absolutely! Being a mechanical student is not a requirement to become a SolidWorks expert. While having a background in mechanical engineering or related fields may be helpful, it's not a prerequisite to learning and mastering SolidWorks.
What's more important is your willingness to learn, practice, and improve your skills in using SolidWorks. With dedication and effort, anyone can become proficient and even excel in using SolidWorks.
Well my first thought was some of those people work in a third world type country and they are already rich with just 25$/h
relative, i get it, true
The second guy did a butcher job.
Very UN-professional.
That is just how things are at times, thus its very important to only release your best work. Once people find a good guy, they just keep using the same guy again and again, that is how you get recurring customers, once you have 5-10 customers lined up you have a continuous supply of work,
I would not give order to the cheap guy because for two reasons. 1) he did not do what he was asked to do
2) He is selling cheap just to outdo the competition.
neither of them did to be honest
Certainly not working in cheapos Fiverr. The reason you can easily hire 3 of them just for this video shows how cheap they are.
they are!
I have a good practice on solidworks
Can anyone give me freelance work..??
you have to go look for client
I can negotiate my rate but my hourly rate is generally set at $50/hr and time and half for any consecutive hours over 50 hours, plus $10/hr for each peripheral CAD Software I must support. For instance if I'm performing Engineering Conversions from Inventor & AutoCAD to Solidworks that's $70/hrs. I also charge another $25 for hardware and software,...it's my software license,...it's my computer. I've also had companies supply me with both software and hardware, in such cases I usually keep the hardware because shipping it usually destroys it. An INVENTOR/SOLIDWORKS Subscription is between $3000.00 & $5000.00 per year, my GD&T certification cost nearly $2000.00, plus I've been supporting SOLIDWORK & AUTODESK products for 30 years. As well I have supported NX, Creo, ANSYS, NASTRAN and CATIA and those software packages run anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 depending on the scope of work. That being said, CAD Software is nothing more than a glorified pencil with a limitless eraser however, correctly producing Engineering drawings is not a chump job.
most useful tools are some glorified version of their predecessors, aren't they?
Till now I didn't earn nothing is there any opportunities. Please revert me back
Always remember first learn then earn, that is what the market demands of new-comers in this field, you need to show some work, and a build a portfolio of models/works you have built on your own, apart from this take up certification exams like the CSWA, CSWP and CSWE. That is what can give you the credibility you need to take up new tasks.
Hi....am just a beginner in solidworks.......how much time would took me to be an expert?......
And perhaps.......am a student
Depends on the route you'll take to learn it! Some ways are faster, and some take waaaaay longer. Usually if you invest in the right course, you could shorten that time enormously. But the normal time on your own, to be a true professional, multiple years
@@with-Aryan thanks man....hope I can hold on to u ?
I'm a mechanical designer in Brazil and I want to get a job in the USA can someone help me?
If online clients from the USA is your goal, that is possible, but a offline job is harder unless you are in demand by a company to create your visa or unless you finish some kind of formal training in the USA and then look for placements.
This is a trick question. I always say it's $10USD/hr and charge ~$50/design. Even though I have a +5 years of experience and a great portfolio, people freak out with high hourly rates. I would rather do $50 jobs that take me under 20 mins., than having to explain to people why my hourly rate is so high. I tried raising prices to $50 and $150 and didn't get the project in 3 months.
I know I'm good and fast, so I rather get many offers in bulk. They always come back because they know I do geat work, but they never know I work 5x faster than what I tell them.
Good video.
Its all about turnover, do what works for you. getting booked is the goal.
I also made this. Can i send it to you.
where?

Is there any way to borrow SolidWorks license since buying is costlty?
While buying a SolidWorks license can indeed be costly, there are a few alternatives you might consider:
1- Educational Version: If you are a student or an educator, you might be eligible for the educational version of SolidWorks. It's significantly cheaper than the commercial version, but please note it is not intended for commercial use.
2- Home Use License: Some organizations that have bought commercial licenses also have the ability to issue Home Use Licenses (HULs) to employees or students. You can check with your organization if they offer this.
3- Trial Version: Dassault Systèmes, the company behind SolidWorks, offers a free trial version that you can use for a limited time.
4- cSubscription Service: Some resellers might offer monthly or yearly subscriptions instead of outright purchase. This could potentially lower the upfront cost.
5- SOLIDWORKS for Entrepreneurs & Startups: Dassault Systèmes offers selected early-stage hardware startups a 12-month license. You have to apply for it, and acceptance isn't guaranteed.
6- SOLIDWORKS for Makers: This is a new program (as of 2021) aimed at individual hobbyists. It is offered at a significantly reduced price compared to commercial licenses.
Remember that using borrowed or cracked versions of SolidWorks is not legal and could lead to serious consequences. Always ensure that you are using the software legally and ethically.
This makes no sense to me, or rather I live in a country which do not value this kind of work. I work in a company where I work in solidworks and my monthly salary is something under 1000 euros.
Considering what you have told in this video, I could live as a king if I can make let's say extra 500 euros per month!
But what I guess the problem is - isn't it hard to find jobs on fiver if there are already a lot of people who work in soildworks? What could be the reason for anyone to pick me up instead of someone else? When I make an account, I will have 0 reviews and I will not be trusted (?)
Your portfolio, your script, your marketing, you!
Choose the cheaper guy and pester him? I’m sure that’ll encourage him to raise his price.
he has to increase it
I am good at GD&T but and moderate in 3D modelling, can I get jobs in freelancing
tough, the other way around would get you further, but it doens't mean you shouldn't try
Is it a realistic goal for an english-speaker foreigner to work remotely in CAD?
I'm not sure if I got your point but CAD has not much to do with language!
4000$/year ???? It seems to me that it is very little considering the time he dedicates to it.
it's interesting for students, maybe
150 an hour
great!
My hourly pay is 0 since I'm still a student and too broke to get a computer...but damn I genuinely didn't know that SOLIDWORKS paid so well for something that easy. For the body of it you could of just made 1 perfectly then used a radial array (X3)
it will soon change
I am Soo brilliant and my work are amazing, but I am not able to post on Fiverr 😢
Why not?
hi, i am a solidworks designs engineer from india and iw nted to know that how i can star work as a freelance and where i can register for it .
Starting freelance is putting yourself onto a global market. It helps to build a portfolio or work in the domain you want to work with, after that you can get into websites like fiverr or upwork.
If you strating with 0 reviews. Is a low price a good idea to get costumers. And later on raise the price.
That'd be YOUR marketing strategy but it would be a bad one. No, don't do that. First learn your value, then start asking the right money for it. Don't do that
When I started on Upwork in 2020 my hourly rate kept getting as low as 7 $/h for my first job then I kept raising it to 40 and when there is competition I drop it to 25 .Now planning to settle on 50 $/h
it gets better with the more clients and successful jobs you finish but at first you will have to sacrifice a little.
Being an expert in SolidWorks means nearly nothing. Only being an expert in engineering matters. SolidWorks is just a tool.
Well said. Working on a new video explaining that because I got a feeling many misunderstood my message
is there a solution in CATIA v5 ?
what do you mean?
@@with-Aryan I mean I want to see a video tutorial in CATIA about how to draw that part. I managed to create the base of the surface, but no way I can do the beak :)
They give bad reviews then I just make a new account 😂
you'll start from scratch and lose momentum! That's not a small price to pay!
