Hello, You need a dependable workflow from rough sketches to accurate fabrication files. My mechanical CAD and technical drawing experience fits ongoing sheet-metal work. Each part would be checked for thickness, bends, reliefs, and flat-pattern accuracy. Laser DXFs will use clean contours, correct layers, and fabrication-ready geometry. Stencil features will be reviewed for bridges, cutouts, and practical minimum widths. Textures and finishes will be specified clearly without affecting the cutting data. Turnaround can be confirmed per task after reviewing complexity and source quality. Which SolidWorks version and DXF layer standard should the files follow? Please share one representative sketch and your preferred fabrication drawing template. Best regards, Valentin
