Common questions
What CAD software does DesignAs CAD use?
DesignAs CAD works exclusively in SolidWorks. Drawing sets are delivered as PDF with DWG and DXF, 3D models as STEP, IGES or Parasolid, and native SolidWorks files where your agreement includes them.
What industries does DesignAs CAD serve?
We serve furniture manufacturers, cabinet makers, joiners, construction and fit-out contractors, product designers, architects, interior designers and any business requiring precision SolidWorks CAD files for manufacturing.
How are corrections and changes handled?
If a delivered drawing deviates from the agreed design intent or brief, we correct it at no cost and as a priority. All client-requested changes are quoted before work begins, so the cost is always agreed upfront. Changes that alter the design concept or overall form are quoted as a new design brief. Terms apply.
Does DesignAs CAD work with international clients?
Yes. DesignAs CAD provides SolidWorks CAD design services globally. All deliverables are digital files, enabling fast turnaround for clients anywhere in the world.
What is the payment structure?
Every project is quoted upfront, with the pricing model matched to the job — a project fee, time-based or staged. Where a deposit is required, the quote states the amount (commonly 50% for project-fee work), and the balance is due on delivery of the final approved files. Time-based and staged work is invoiced on the schedule set out in the quote.
What file formats does DesignAs CAD deliver?
Drawing sets as PDF, plus DWG and DXF for AutoCAD users. 3D models as STEP, IGES, Parasolid (.x_t) or ACIS (.sat); STL, OBJ and 3MF for 3D printing and visualisation; eDrawings for easy viewing; photorealistic renders as required. Native SolidWorks files (.SLDPRT, .SLDASM, .SLDDRW) where your agreement includes them.
Can DesignAs CAD design furniture for CNC cutting?
Yes. We produce CNC-ready CAD files for cabinet makers and furniture manufacturers, including accurate cutting lists, material schedules and nesting layouts.
