We offer CAD Conversion Services to assist you with your requirements
What is CAD Conversion?
CAD Conversion is a term used to convert existing drawing information into CAD (Computer-Aided Design). CAD comes with the information required to design any intended project correctly. Several organisations use technical data and treat it as a critical asset.
This can be required due to:
- Upgrading the CAD System (2D to 3D CAD Conversion)
- Installing a CAD System (Paper to CAD)
- Customer Requirements (DWG to DGN)
We offer excellent CAD conversion services to various engineering and manufacturing companies. We specialise in 2D to 3D Conversion, transforming hand-drawn sketches into fully editable CAD format.
Our team of talented and experienced engineers have rich experience in converting any paper plan and image. Image format includes JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF, and PNG, which are accurately in multi-layered electronic file formats like MCD, DWG, DGN, and DXF. We can work on various source data and deal with multiple conversion hitches such as remodelling, reconstructing, rebuilding, etc. We offer the best CAD file that converts hard-copy paperwork to electronic format. It makes the format copying, editing and drawing easier.
CAD conversion refers to the process of converting design or technical drawings from one format to another, typically involving computer-aided design (CAD) software. This process is often necessary when you have drawings or plans in one CAD format and need to convert them into a different CAD format or when you have paper-based or hand-drawn designs that you want to digitize and work within CAD software.
The reasons for CAD conversion can vary and include:
- Interoperability: Different CAD software programs may use different file formats, making it necessary to convert files from one format to another to ensure that they can be opened and edited with the desired software.
- Upgrading or Updating: Older CAD files may need to be converted to newer versions of the software to take advantage of updated features and compatibility.
- Digitization: Hand-drawn or paper-based designs may need to be converted into a digital CAD format for easier editing, sharing, and archiving.
- Standardization: Converting CAD files to a standardized format can ensure consistency and compatibility across different design teams or projects.
The CAD conversion process typically involves importing the existing design into CAD software, adjusting the elements to fit the new format, and then exporting or saving the design in the desired format. This process can be manual or automated, depending on the design’s complexity and the CAD software’s capabilities.
We offer the main CAD Conversion types.
- Paper to CAD: Using Paper Drawings to create new CAD Models/Drawings
- 2D to 3D: Converting AutoCad drawings into 3D CAD Software packages such as Inventor or Solidworks
- DWG (AutoCAD) to DGN (Bentley Microstation): Mainly for the Rail industry such as London Underground (LUL) or Network Rail
