Custom CAD Design Services

Design Service

Most of our customers create their own designs in our free CAD software and we encourage you to do so - we have many tools that make it easy to learn our software.

We also recognize that you might want to use us without using our CAD software. Our design services include:

• Review of a design prior to placing an order (manufactureability, design style, cost optimization, tolerances, material selection, surface finish, etc.).
• Making a CAD drawing from a concept or from a hand or paper drawing.
• Converting from another CAD format to eMachineShop CAD in order to get a price or place an order.
  
• Making a drawing from a physical part to prepare to order copies.
  

Price for an AutoCAD, Pro/E, SolidWorks, PDF or other file format

If you have a design in a format other than eMachineShop CAD and need a price quote you have a few options:

• Use our design service where we will convert your design for you at a nominal fee. Most parts can be converted in about a half hour to two hours depending on complexity. See rates below.
  
• Download our CAD and recreate your design.
• Download our CAD and import your design (the import capability has limitations).

Getting your design into the eMachineShop CAD format allows you to:

• Experiment with changes to optimize your design and reduce your price
• Get an accurate price instantly
• Get multiple delivery time options
• Get instant manufacturability feedback
• Order online at any time with no hassles
