Production SolidWorks API & Siemens NX Open Automation
Replace repetitive manual drafting, error-prone export procedures, and disconnected BOM updates with deterministic, unit-tested code. Built by a Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert (CSWE) and seasoned automation lead.
High-ROI CAD Automation Workflows
Proven software architectures deployed across production engineering teams to slash modeling cycle time by up to 90%.
Headless Batch Translation & Export
Unattended background batch conversion of assemblies and parts into neutral formats (STEP AP242 with PMI, Parasolid x_t, 3D PDF, DXF flat patterns for laser cutting) without manual user intervention.
Automated Drawing Generation & Scaling
Algorithmic drawing creation from 3D models: automatic standard orthographic views, isometric projections, dimension placement, sheet format population, and drawing sheet scaling.
Metadata & Custom Properties Quality Gate
Automated scanning and normalization of part properties (Material, Finish, Vendor, Part Number, Revision) to guarantee 100% compliance before PDM/Teamcenter check-in.
Custom Parametric Modeling Add-ins
Stand-alone desktop GUIs and native SolidWorks C# add-ins with custom PropertyManager pages, docking windows, and geometric constraint solvers.
Multi-CAD Architectural Competence
Native dual-platform proficiency ensuring clean tool development whether your shop standardizes on Dassault or Siemens.

Engineering Deliverable Standards
Zero-Dependency Code
Scripts and executables run directly on client workstations without requiring fragile external interpreters or runtime licenses.
Strict Unit Testing
Every macro and add-in is validated against complex test-model geometries with automated error logging and rollback safeguards.
Complete IP Transfer
You receive all documented C#, VBA, or Python source code repositories, setup installers, and administrator walkthrough guides.
