The best way to preserve old drawings is to scan them into CAD files. At CAD/CAM Services, we’ve been offering our scan to CAD services for decades, and we’ve scanned millions of drawings for companies just like yours.

Over the years, we’ve experienced a lot of backrooms filled with rolled-up drawings stacked on top of each other. Though this might be a great way to store old drawings, it’s a really inefficient way to store anything that you might use again. Think about how much time you’re wasting leafing through stacks of drawings, trying to find the right one.

What if someone from sales has the drawing you’re looking for? You can easily waste hours looking in your drawing room before realizing that someone has the drawing on their desk. Alternatively, you can choose our scan to CAD services and everyone can use the same drawing at the same time.

Our scan to CAD services are here to save you time and money every time you need to pull up a drawing. Instead of spending minutes or hours looking for the drawing, you can have it pulled up in seconds.

Our scan to CAD services involve taking your legacy engineering drawings, blueprints, or layouts and putting them through gentle 2D scanners. These 2D scanners are specifically designed to offer incredibly high resolution, high throughput, and gentle-feed settings that prevent damage to your drawings.

These services will work whether you have one drawing or one thousand drawings that need to be fully digitized.

Once the drawings are scanned in 2D, then our engineers will get to work. We’ll pull the scanned image up, and open your CAD program of choice on our computers. Our engineers will open a brand-new CAD file, and start a drawing from scratch. We’ll use your scanned image as a reference to ensure every line is perfect on the new CAD file.

This is the best way to convert a Mylar drawing to a CAD file, and it’s been our go-to method for decades. By doing this process the right way, we can ensure CAD Perfect® drawings, and make sure every scan to CAD file is a CAD Perfect CAD Conversion®.

The company you choose for your scan to CAD services is really important. A lot of other companies will cut corners and try to use automatic software that isn’t safe, isn’t reliable, and isn’t worth your time or money — anyone can try to use automatic software, but it almost never works.

With our engineers and drafters, we do the process manually from scratch. This is the only way to guarantee precision, accuracy, and functionality of your final CAD files. Plus, it allows us to turn your old engineering drawings into 3D CAD models if you’d like.

With our help, you’ll get better results with faster turnarounds. The best part? You never have to overpay for our services. We typically use an hourly or per-drawing price that ensures you save money without sacrificing any quality.

Picking the wrong scan to CAD outsourced engineering company is a quick way to lose money, put your intellectual property at risk, and waste your time. Avoid all of those headaches when you choose CAD/CAM Services.

Our scan to CAD services are custom-made for each of our clients. It starts with a free consultation, where you’ll explain how many drawings you have and what type of CAD programs you’re using. From there, our team will start 2D scanning all of your documents and digitizing them.

Once the digitization is done, our engineers and drafters can start converting every drawing into a brand-new CAD drawing in your preferred program. We offer 2D and 3D CAD work, so it’s your choice.

Every CAD drawing will go through a round of quality checks and peer reviews to ensure they’re perfect. That’s part of how we can offer CAD Perfect CAD Conversions® at CAD/CAM Services.

All of our CAD files will be sent to you digitally through an encrypted platform that the DoD uses. If you want any changes or corrections, let us know and we’ll send back the corrected files within 48 hours.

Keeping old drawings in a backroom is really dangerous. It’s easy for a thief to steal a drawing, a fire or water damage can wipe out your drawings, and they’re so hard to track. This is why so many people choose to digitize their old drawings or convert them to usable CAD files.

With a CAD conversion, you can get quicker quotes from machine shops across the country. Plus, the drawings are significantly easier to find, share, and collaborate on.

A lot of companies will translate their Mylar drawings to CAD so they can start updating legacy drawings without the headaches of drawing on Mylar sheets. Whatever your reason for a scan to CAD conversion, you can trust CAD/CAM Services.
