SolidWorks part modeling, assemblies, fabrication and shop-floor drawings, revisions, model cleanup, and legacy drawing conversion for manufacturers, fabricators, equipment owners, and project teams.
Calicore prepares SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings for fabrication, shop-floor use, equipment documentation, design revisions, and production support. Work can begin from sketches, field measurements, legacy drawings, redlines, PDFs, point data, or an existing model set.
Services include parametric part modeling, assembly organization, configurations, design tables, exploded views, bills of materials, revision control, and dimensioned fabrication drawings. The drawing package is organized around how the client will review, manufacture, assemble, install, or maintain the item.
Step by step
How the process works
The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.
01
Define how the files will be used
We confirm whether the model and drawings are for review, estimating, fabrication, shop-floor use, assembly, installation, or equipment records.
02
Review the source material
Existing models, sketches, PDFs, redlines, measurements, photographs, materials, interfaces, part numbers, and file-version requirements are organized before modeling.
03
Build or revise the model
Parts, assemblies, configurations, and drawing views are created or repaired, with review files issued for dimensions and interfaces that need confirmation.
04
Release the agreed package
Native SolidWorks files, PDFs, production drawings, exploded views, bills of materials, and exchange files are delivered in the required format.

Frequently asked
SolidWorks CAD Services questions
Can you work with an existing SolidWorks model?+
Yes. Calicore can revise, organize, repair, or create drawings from existing native files, subject to a model review.
Can you prepare drawings for shop-floor use?+
Yes. Drawing packages can include dimensions, tolerances supplied or approved by the client, material callouts, weld or fabrication notes, exploded views, bills of materials, and revision information needed for production.
Send a short description of the work, any plans, specifications, or photographs you have, and tell us what you need the service to provide. Include a project location if it applies.
