Models and assemblies
Parametric templates built from your product rules generate parts and full assemblies from a few inputs.
Stop redrawing the same parts
We build CAD add-ins that take a few inputs and produce the model, drawings, and bill of materials from your product rules. Engineers check the output instead of drawing it.
We work on site with manufacturers across the Greater Toronto Area, and remotely across North America.

less engineering time per order
Orders that draw themselves
An order entered in the ERP creates the approval drawings and production files.

55%
shorter lead time on large assemblies
Large assemblies from a few inputs
Engineers enter parameters and the add-in builds the assembly, drawings, and bill of materials.
See the projectWhat the add-in produces
Your engineers enter the order details. The add-in applies your product rules and builds the rest. We build for SolidWorks and AutoCAD, in C#, Python, or VBA.
Layouts
Cabinet, countertop, and ceiling layouts generated in SolidWorks, with every dimension driven by parameters.
Drawings in batches
Approval drawings, shop drawings, and production files exported and packaged the way your shop expects.
BOMs that match the model
Bills of materials and reports come from the same model, so the parts list matches what the shop builds.
How a CAD automation project runs
- 01
We visit before we quote
We watch an order move through engineering and the shop, and collect the drawings you make most often.
- 02
We write down your rules
Dimensions, material limits, and drawing standards your engineers apply from memory become rules they sign off on.
- 03
We test on your past orders
Before release we run every rule against real jobs you've already built.
- 04
We hand it over
You get the add-in and its documentation, so your team or another developer can maintain it.
Where do your engineers redraw the same parts?
