Professional Outsourced 3D CAD Services

Creating intricate 3D CAD models, complicated assemblies, and simple one-off parts

Providing high-quality 3D CAD services since 1988. Our team of over 100 engineers and drafters has successfully completed millions of 3D CAD models since we started doing business.

We’ve had the honor of working with so many massive companies, including Boeing, Amazon, Airbus, the US Air Force, and many more.

When you need any work on a 3D CAD file, we can do it fast and at a reasonable cost.

Our 3D CAD services can either replace, enhance, or optimize your in-house engineering department. We can work alongside your engineers, work on completely different projects, or act as in-house engineers for companies that don’t have any engineers on staff.

Our 3D CAD Services Include: 

3D CAD Conversion

We can take your 2D drawing, Idea, or existing part and convert it into a fully functional 3D CAD model.

Freeform Surface Modeling

Our freeform surface modeling services involve working with our experienced engineers to handle the aesthetic or technical design for you. Instead of struggling through the learning curve, you can defer to members of our team who have been doing this for years.

Mylar 2D to 3D Cad Conversion

We can 2D scan your old hand-drawn mylar engineering drawings, and then transform them into professional 3D CAD models.

3D CAD Migration

Need a file transferred from one CAD program to another? We can handle that with our 3D CAD migration services.

CAD Conversion Services — Native Files, Not Translations — Since 1988

We can take your 2D drawing, idea, or existing part and convert it into a fully functional 3D CAD model.

Tool and Die Reverse Engineering

Have a mold, tool, or die that you need to update or change? We can reverse engineer it, and then perform the changes in 3D CAD.

Point Cloud to Native CAD Conversion

CAD/CAM Services can take a 3D-scanned point cloud and create a native CAD file in your software of choice.

Benefits of 3D CAD Services from CAD/CAM Services

When you choose CAD/CAM Services for your next 3D CAD project, you’ll notice a lot of major benefits:

Faster turnaround times.

With our team of over 100 engineers and drafters, we can commit to tighter turnaround times than other companies can. We stagger our shifts, so CAD/CAM Services is open and running 24/7. How valuable are faster turnaround times to your company?

A wider range of services.

We offer dozens of services under one roof. This means that you don’t need to remember any other engineer’s name, you just need to turn to CAD/CAM Services when you need help with a project.

Exceptional quality and attention to detail.

Our team goes through regular training and continued learning, and the main focus for a lot of these development courses is quality and attention to detail. At our core, CAD/CAM Services focuses on quality above anything else. It’s the only reason why we can offer CAD Perfect® drawings in the first place.

Complete transparency and honesty.

If we can’t help with a project, we’ll let you know before you give us a dime. We will never waste your time or money. If a mistake happens, we’re the first ones to admit it. We take pride in our ability to be transparent and honest with our customers, and we hope that you can appreciate this point — it sets us apart from most other outsourced CAD companies.

A dedicated point of contact.

Most of our projects get assigned a single point of contact. If you want an update, you have a question, you need to make a change, or you have an issue, you would contact a single person. By directing all the communication through one source, there’s less room for error and fewer missed points. Just call or email your assigned point of contact, and they’ll take care of it.

Full involvement in each project.

Our team can join your weekly meetings to give updates, or you can call us at any time to see the status of the project. Consider us an extension of your team, and don’t be afraid to email us or call us to chat about the project.

Keeping your secrets safe.

We happily sign NDAs and keep all of your intellectual property safe, even years after the project is completed. You can trust our team at CAD/CAM Services.

3D CAD FAQ's

3D Modeling FAQs
How do you bill 3D CAD services tasks?

Per hour. Hourly rate depends on what CAD software used and typically starts at $75 per hour.  In general, to make this process safer for you, we often provide you a fixed not to exceed the cost as well.  That way, you are protected from an open-ended PO. However, the reality is our fees are based on time. In addition, services in say Catia or NX are more expensive than say Solidworks. Or, simulation services are commonly done by real engineers.

What do you need to give me accurate pricing?

First of all, we need to know the target CAD system and whether you have an existing  template, or set of CAD standards for this project.

The main question is the overall complexity. As each part and assembly consists of different features and elements the best way is to provide us with an example.  Again, a picture is worth a thousand words.

If you already have a model and need us to improve it or update it in any way we need to know which dimensions and features are critical and which can be modified to achieve your desired result.  Even a before and after example works very well. We started with x, and got to this CAD file.

We can also offer you better options if you provide us with the purpose of your project (demonstration, 3D printing, FEA Simulation, CNC manufacturing, etc.).  This helps us better refine the task.

How do you check your models?

We create 2D drawings from our 3D models for QC purposes. We follow aerospace standards and deliver ±.005” accuracy models for all projects.  All of our QC is done by a different person than the designer. On Catia work, we often use Q-Checker for Airbus.

What is the minimum price for your 3D modeling services?

We have a minimum order fee $150.
