    I did around 300 projects for US millwork companies when I worked in outsource company. Most of them - are commercial projects like hospitals, clinics, schools, offices, laboratories, hotels, casinos, etc. Rarely - residential, which included whole houses or some rooms like kitchens, closets, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. I mainly work using AutoCAD, Bluebeam and Adobe Acrobat Pro. As a freelancer, I know that clear communication and a strong background is the key to a successful job. I look forward to discussing how I can help with your next projects.

    I've spent over 6 years working in furniture joinery design, making drawings for workshops. I've tackled projects in the UK and the US. My specialty is creating drawings that match architectural plans. I'm skilled at making drawings for manufacturing and assembly, especially for complex pieces like curved Banquettes, Reception Desks, and old-style hardwood furniture. I'm good at drawing things in detail and showing how they fit together. I can handle metalwork and upholstery drawings, as well as preparing cutting sheets. In the UK, I've worked on reception desks, Banquettes, kitchen cabinets, wall panels, AV units, bathrooms, and lecture rooms. I'm certified in Solidworks Modeling and Sheet Metal. Apart from AutoCAD 2D, I'm comfortable with 3D software like Solidworks, AutoCAD 3D, Inventor, ArtCAM, WoodWorks, and WoodWop.

    Hello, my name is Frosina, and I am an enthusiastic and multitasking architect from Skopje, Macedonia. Since graduating with my architecture degree, I have worked in various positions, offices, and facilities across my city, each job being different from the previous one. My professional profile consists of two main parts: work as a planning, construction, and interior design architect in a firm, and as a junior teaching assistant at the university. For the past four years, I have been building my online career as a freelancer on this platform, focusing on architectural drawings, conceptual drawings, CAD documentation, landscape design, and 3D modeling, mainly using Revit. I specialize in designing residential and hospitality projects in Europe and the USA.

Helpful information to know before you hire a CAD designer

Writing out your job post is a fundamental part of finding the right CAD designer. But having additional knowledge of the different roles CAD designers play, the tools and technologies they use, and the solutions they can offer your business puts you in a position to make the best decision for your needs. 

The role of a CAD designer

CAD designers help turn concepts into detailed technical drawings and 3D models. On a daily basis, they use software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Revit to create precise, functional designs for architecture, engineering, and product development. Their tasks include drafting blueprints, modeling components, and updating designs. Collaboration is key as they work with engineers, architects, and other stakeholders to ensure that designs meet specifications.

Solutions provided by CAD designers are critical for many operations. They enable planning and execution in manufacturing, construction, and product innovation by delivering accurate schematics and models. CAD designers help reduce material waste, streamline production processes, and enhance overall product quality. Their impact drives technological advancement, improves design accuracy, and supports the progression from initial concept to final product.

The average cost of hiring a freelance CAD designer in 2024

CAD designer rates can vary depending on a number of factors including their location, years of experience, level of expertise, a project’s scope of work, and the project timeline. 

According to information from PayScale.com and Upwork, typical hourly rates range from:

  • Entry-level: $17
  • Intermediate: $24
  • Expert: $34

Key tools and technologies used in CAD design

CAD designers rely on a variety of sophisticated tools and technologies to create precise and functional designs. These tools enhance their efficiency and also improve the accuracy and quality of their work. Below we discuss some of the key tools and technologies used in CAD design.

AutoCAD

AutoCAD is one of the most widely used CAD software programs, known for its versatility in 2D and 3D drafting. It is used in many industries for creating detailed blueprints, schematics, and models. AutoCAD’s robust features include customizable tool palettes, advanced rendering capabilities, and a vast library of pre-drawn components, making it an essential tool for CAD designers.

SolidWorks

SolidWorks is powerful 3D CAD software widely used in mechanical engineering and product design. It offers advanced simulation and modeling tools that allow designers to create complex parts and assemblies with high precision. SolidWorks also includes features for analyzing the performance of designs under real-world conditions, which helps in optimizing products before they go into production.

SketchUp

SketchUp is a user-friendly 3D modeling tool known for its intuitive interface and ease of use. It is commonly used in architectural design, interior design, and urban planning. SketchUp allows designers to quickly create and visualize 3D models, making it ideal for conceptual stages of design. Its extensive library of pre-built models and plugins enhances its functionality and integration with other CAD tools.

Fusion 360

Fusion 360 is cloud-based CAD software that combines industrial and mechanical design, simulation, and collaboration in one package. It is particularly useful for product design and manufacturing due to its comprehensive set of tools for 3D modeling, simulation, and machining. Fusion 360’s cloud capabilities enable real-time collaboration, version control, and access to designs from anywhere, making it a versatile choice for modern design teams.

Solutions and services CAD designers offer businesses

CAD designers provide a wide range of solutions and services that help businesses streamline their design processes and improve product quality. These services are crucial in a number of industries, including architecture, engineering, and manufacturing.

3D modeling and rendering

CAD designers create detailed 3D models and renderings of products, buildings, and components. This allows businesses to visualize their projects in a realistic way, making it easier to identify potential issues and make necessary adjustments before production. High-quality 3D models also aid in marketing and presentation, giving stakeholders a clear understanding of the final product.

Technical drawings and blueprints

Accurate technical drawings and blueprints are essential for manufacturing and construction. CAD designers produce precise schematics that include all necessary dimensions, materials, and assembly instructions. These detailed plans ensure that every aspect of the project is clearly communicated, reducing errors and improving efficiency during the building or manufacturing process.

Design optimization and simulation

Using advanced CAD software, designers can simulate real-world conditions to test the performance and durability of their designs. This service helps businesses optimize their products by identifying weaknesses and making improvements before physical prototypes are created. Design optimization and simulation save time and resources, leading to more robust and efficient final products.
