  • All common 2D CAD Formats Available
  • DXF
  • DWG
3D Modelling

3D Modelling

Tools are produced in 3D modelling from either drawings or CAD data then 2D drawings are generated.

  • 3D Modelling is fast and accurate
  • Formability issues can be highlighted early
  • Many Compatable file formats including iges, step and parasolid
