Cad Services

2D to 3D Conversions

We recognise companies are now, more than ever, moving on to the next level of CAD being 3D and with constant deadlines to meet in-house resources are constantly stretched leaving Research and Development projects on hold indefinitely.

Our aim is provide your company the services to move forward and take your product range to the next phase by producing 3D models from your existing 2D drawings. We have an extensive design team able to fully understand your engineering drawings and produce excellent 3D models from individual piece parts to large assemblies.

3D models are not only a great design tool for modifying existing components with the click of a button but also serves as a unique visual aid for your new and existing customers. We find many more clients request products in a 3D format allowing them to incorporate files into their own model assemblies.

We are able to produce 3D CAD drawings in various different output files from packages such as Autodesk Inventor, solid works, Solid Edge and Pro-Engineer.

If you need a component or assembly drawing for manufacturing purposes, we can produce the drawing in the required format - even for direct input into CNC machinery.

Storing and maintaining paper drawings is not only costly in floor space terms but in time and effort which is required each time a drawing has to be retrieved from your archives, copied, etc.

 

Manual to CAD Conversions

Our CAD conversion service focuses on the conversion of your existing drawings into electronic CAD format.

We follow CAD standards as per your requirements.

We follow your design and layering standards. 

All drawings are re-drawn manually.

Where dimensions are shown on the drawings the dimensions will be followed.

Where the dimensions are not indicated, the drawings would be scaled exactly.

We follow a thorough checking process, to ensure that the output is of a very high quality.

All of our files are delivered in your native CAD file format.

 

Red pen Mark-ups

As mentioned on our home page we can assist to compliment your existing drawing office during busy periods, we can provide you with a reliable backup at short notice. 

We are able to produce or modify existing 2D drawings with redline mark-ups in a very effective and timely manner, allowing your work output to flow without the need for employing new staff or short term contractors, needing additional requirements of office space, equipment, software and valuable time. 

We can hit the ground running with a set of scanned drawings sent in electronic/paper format.

As-built drawings are essential to both you and your clients and our “Red pen mark-up” service is ideal for this application allowing your design team to focus on the next project.

 

Drawing Scanning

Converting historic drawings to image on CD/DVD storage media is an ideal solution. 

We take paper based drawings and scan and output to PDF.
This provides and printable distributable file of the original drawing which can be viewed on any platform.
