● PDF to CAD / sketch to CAD / 2D to 3D

Convert PDF, sketch or scan to CAD.

redrawn, not traced.

Old drawings, scanned PDFs, hand sketches and photos, redrawn by an engineer as clean, layered CAD. Get 2D DWG and DXF files, or go straight to a 3D parametric model and a STEP file you can edit and manufacture from.

01 What you get

Done properly

Every file checked by a second engineer before it reaches you.

  1. 01

    Scan and Photo to CAD

    Scanned blueprints and photos of parts converted using the dimensions you give us.

  4. 04

    2D to 3D Conversion

    Flat drawings rebuilt as 3D parametric models in SolidWorks or Fusion 360, with STEP export.

05 FAQ

Questions asked often

Can I just use a free PDF to CAD converter?

For a clean vector PDF, a converter gives you lines, but text, dimensions and layers usually break and scanned PDFs do not convert at all. If you need to edit the drawing or manufacture from it, it is faster to have it redrawn properly.

Can you convert a PDF to AutoCAD?

Yes. We redraw the PDF in AutoCAD at the correct scale with layers, dimensions and text, and deliver DWG or DXF.

Is this automatic conversion?

No. Automatic tools trace lines and break text and dimensions. We redraw the drawing properly, so the file is clean and editable.

Can you turn a sketch into a 3D model?

Yes. Send the sketch with the key dimensions. We model it in SolidWorks or Fusion 360 and send back native files plus STEP.

What if my scan is hard to read?

We mark anything unclear and ask before guessing. You approve the questioned dimensions before we finish.

How is it priced?

By the number and complexity of sheets or parts, as a fixed price. Send a sample and you get the quote within one working day.
