You don't need to do all the math and stuff (unless that's what they need/the item is critically important to safety). I would add to this that you really only need at least an industrial designer level of experience when it comes to making things. In this case the work can be steady but you are the engineering guy that they trust. The problem here is that work is sporadic and not something you can necessarily control.ģ.) Outsourced Expertise: These are businesses that do not have the skills to do the job nor the inclination to hire them on. They don't expect miracle workers but you need to know drafting and preferably their industry. You're going be validating his perpetual motion device against reality often.Ģ.) Overloaded businesses: These guys are your best bet starting out.
This guy will hire the cheapest around and probably is coming to you because the established professional shops told him to take a hike. For independent CAD work you largely have 3 customers:ġ.) Guys with ideas: This guy has an idea and a checkbook. If they have to recheck all your design and modify it then they would just design it internally. Your customer is hiring you for knowledge and expertise.
When you finish a design you are solely responsible for that. You need a degree or years of experience. Your original post stated you like designing and your implication is that you'll be a sole proprietor.
