Anything your shop needs from a CAD desk.
Native Autodesk® Inventor® models, drawings and machine files, from your prints and CAD files.
Conversions
2D drawings in. 3D .ipt/.iam out.
The Companion
An AI operator inside Inventor, 2023 and up.
Speed, reliability, cost
We work on drawings 50+ years old.
Faded, with gaps, rebuilt with every number sourced. The desk runs on technology we built.
A fraction of a drafting house's turnaround.
A change on a model we hold comes back the same day.
Every dimension checked against your print before it leaves.
Every value marked as stated, worked out or assumed.
Conversions usually $10 to $20 per part.
A fraction of a drafting house's price. Assemblies are quoted separately. The first part is free.
What we do
Paper, PDF, AutoCAD or another CAD system in. Inventor models, drawings and machine files out.
Conversions
Native Inventor parts and assemblies with a real feature tree. Change a number and the part follows.
- In
- PDF, DWG, DXF, scan, SolidWorks, Creo, STEP, IGES
- Out
- .ipt, .iam, STEP
Drawings
Dimensioned drawings from the model, with tolerances, threads, finishes and notes. Old drawings redrawn clean, and revised when the part changes.
- In
- model, old print
- Out
- PDF, DWG
Machine files
STEP for CAM, DXF profiles and flat patterns for the laser and the brake.
- In
- model
- Out
- STEP, DXF, IGES, X_T
Changes
Design changes on your Inventor model or one we made. The model, drawing and files come back at the new revision.
- In
- markup, email
- Out
- new rev
New parts
Machined parts, sheet metal with flat patterns, weldments, frames, and the assemblies they go into.
- In
- sketch, spec
- Out
- .ipt, .iam, drawing
Plan review
For engineers who redraw old drawings themselves: every gap marked up with a proposed value, worked out from the mating parts and the other relations in the set.
- In
- drawing set
- Out
- marked-up PDF
How the work is checked
Every number, its source.
The lettering governs, never the picture, and nothing is scaled off the sheet.
Watch the conversion- Real model
- Parametric, with a feature tree, never a traced picture.
- Same revision
- The drawing is made from the model and issued with it.
- Every dimension
- Checked against your print before it leaves.
- Every value
- Marked as stated on your print, worked out from it, or assumed.
- Gaps
- Gaps and conflicts come back as questions, never filled silently.
- Your standards
- Modeled the way your shop models, on your templates and naming.
NTR-2140 caster, rev C. Our own sample part, not a customer's.
The print, and the questions it raised
NTR-2140 CASTER, REV CNTR-2140-QUESTIONS.pdf
| Balloon | On the print | What is missing | What we put in | Please confirm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | P2 fork bend | No bend radius. | Inside radius .19, one material thickness. ASSUMED. | Your brake tooling radius? |
| 2 | P1 mounting slots | Four slots drawn, no size. | .41 wide by .75 long for a 3/8 bolt. ASSUMED, not scaled off the picture. | The bolt size for the mount? |
| 3 | P3 wheel bore | Bore not called. | .391, a running clearance on the 3/8 axle. ASSUMED. | Plain bore, or a bearing? |
| 4 | P4 axle | 3/8-16 called, no thread length, no nut. | Thread .75 long, so the wheel runs on the shank and the nut reaches the fork at either width. WORKED OUT. | A lock nut, or a nut and cotter pin? |
| 5 | P2 fork width | 1.88 in the side view, 1.81 in the section. | Flagged, not resolved. 1.88 in the model until you say. | Which one governs? |

The Companion
Bringing 10x engineers to Inventor.
An AI operator inside Autodesk® Inventor®. Say what the part needs and it builds real parametric features.
New parts, and the ones you already have.
Start from a blank part, or open one mid-design or released years ago. Add the flange, move the holes, cut the slot.
One engineer. Several parts. At once.
A session per part, building side by side. You review each one and hand-finish where it matters.
There is no partly correct part.
A 95% correct part is scrap. A receipt on every change, and it stops and asks when an instruction is ambiguous.
Real Inventor features.
Editable by hand afterward. For sheet metal: flanges, flat patterns, cut-ready DXF.
Sheet metal, weldments, frames, machined parts.
And the assemblies they go into.
Every Inventor from 2023 up.
No upgrade first.

We'll write the day trials open.

Beyond the CAD desk
The desk work around the shop.
AI systems built one role at a time, on the tools you already run, each reporting to the person who runs that desk.
-
Quoting
Quote requestQuote sentThe system reads the request, works it up against your rules and history, and drafts the quote for the person who signs it.
-
Order intake
PO emailOrder createdThe PO becomes an order in your system, lines checked against the quote, anything odd flagged for a person.

Dispatch
Job movedBoard updatedThe board follows the jobs: what shipped, what is late, what is waiting on material. Nobody retypes it.
Whole jobs, or the desk work around them.
More firepower for your team.
AI built into how your people already work, with the training to use it well.
Cover a whole role.
A role that lives on a computer and a phone. Measured before and after.
Scheduling, the front desk, customer service, the back office. We look at what can move to a system, with a person still in charge.
