who we are...

Welcome to Custom Design Source. We are a SolidWorks design and consulting company that offers the professional service you need and expect at EXTREMELY affordable rates. If we could sum up Custom Design Source in one statement, we would have to say 'We are not happy until you are happy'. It is our passion to go above and beyond what is expected, for each and every client.

As most of you would agree, there is nothing worse than creating 3d models "wrong" or building them in a manner that only the author can understand. Custom Design Source has 45 years experience in mechanical design along with tens of thousands of hours using SolidWorks. We can take your existing 2d data and convert it into the latest 3d models. These models can then be used in turn to produce rendered images for sales & marketing, FEA analysis, and rapid prototyping. We will do the job right, the first time. We are well versed in simple part conversion to complete project design.

To compliment our SolidWorks consulting and design services, we also provide SoildWorks API programming. We can do it all. From simple custom property tools to complete design automation, Custom Design Source is your SolidWorks leader. As a strict standard Custom Design Source requires all employees to be SolidWorks Certified or able to pass an in-house examination.
