2d to 3d conversions
The truth is that making 2d drawings is fast and easy, but the output is still a 2D drawing, which does not readily work with downstream systems like purchasing and manufacturing. In some cases 2d drawings are sufficient but 90% of the time they are not. In prototyping, for example, a 3d cad model has to be made because most of the prototyping machines require 3d data. In fact, the majority of the machines used to manufacture parts need 3d cad files and do not read 2d cad drawings because 2d drawings do not contain all information needed to develop a three-dimensional product.
When using 2d cad drawings during the manufacturing stage, numerous problems arise. Viewing 3d cad models helps identify errors early. These errors can be found while simulating the matching and mating of parts. Through the use of 3d cad, the assembly process of any given product can be simulated, visualized and analyzed before the design goes into production. 3d cad models are essential beforehand in determining the volume of material needed to mold specific parts as well. The use of 3d cad files also ensures that a design has sufficient room for other parts within the design.
This is why Cadmodels.biz offers a service for building 3d cad files using your 2d data. Send us your design for quotation and we'll get back to you ASAP.

2D to 3D CAD Modeling Conversion
Start-up ventures, inventors, and small companies may have product ideas, concepts, patents, or core technologies that are the basis of a new product development effort. Accordingly, many product development programs begin without either 2D (three dimensional) or 3D (three dimensional) CAD models. It is typical in these environments not to have professional CAD capabilities. Many business success stories tell of conversations over coffee sketching on a napkin. Good ideas can come from anywhere and anyone including from people with diverse backgrounds that do not necessarily include product or business development experience. At some point, people with entrepreneurial aspirations will seek the services of professional CAD designers, engineers, for prototyping and manufacturing capabilities.
