2D to 3D

  We can convert imported 2D data into 3D CAD models using the latest technologies in CAD software.   As part of our service to you, we will check your part or assembly for manufacture-ability during the conversion process, insuring trouble free tooling of your product.

  Send us your file(s) for quote.  Please specify in your e-mail your desired response time frame.  We normally have a 24 to 48 hr turnaround time for quotations if all information is supplied.

3D file conversion

 Our vast software suite capability allows us to convert almost any 3D CAD file to the CAD format of your choice.  We will convert your files, check and repair surfaces if necessary and give you a complete package documenting your file directory listing with a visible hard copy printout for your reference.  This is in addition to a new CD with your clean surface files ready for your next phase of product development or manufacturing.

Basic Conversions

With our vast array of  import and export capabilities, we can provide many different file formats necessary for precision control during the manufacturing and downstream process. Here is a listing of our CAD import and export software capabilities.

We can import files to our **native SolidWorks software from other applications. We can export SolidWorks documents to a number of formats for use with other applications. The following table displays the data translation methods available from within SolidWorks:
