CAD Automation
Design Automation for Industrial Machines
We build parametric CAD models with embedded automation rules - using iLogic (Autodesk Inventor) and DriveWorks (SolidWorks) - so your engineering team can generate complete machine variants in minutes instead of days.
Why Automate
Stop Redrawing - Start Generating
Machine manufacturers spend significant engineering hours recreating similar designs for different customer specifications. CAD automation eliminates this repetitive work.
Reduce Design Time by 80%
Automate repetitive CAD tasks. What used to take days of manual modeling now runs in minutes - parametric models generate complete assemblies, drawings, and BOMs automatically.
Eliminate Manual Errors
Rules-based automation ensures every generated model is dimensionally correct. No missed tolerances, no wrong hole patterns, no forgotten drawing views.
Unlimited Design Variants
Need 50 size variants of the same machine frame? Configure once, generate all variants automatically - each with correct drawings and production documentation.
Instant Engineering Changes
When specifications change, update the master model parameters and regenerate. All downstream documents - drawings, BOMs, cut lists - update automatically.
Process
How CAD Automation Works
We take your existing product family, build a parametric master model, and embed intelligent design rules - so every new variant is generated automatically.
Analyze Your Product Range
We study your product family, identify common parameters and variants, and map the design rules that drive each configuration.
Build the Parametric Master Model
A fully parametric 3D model is built with intelligent constraints, design rules, and automation logic embedded directly into the CAD environment.
Configure Automation Rules
iLogic rules (Inventor) or DriveWorks rules (SolidWorks) are programmed to handle geometry changes, material selection, component sizing, and documentation.
Generate & Validate
Input parameters, click generate. Complete assemblies, manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and cut lists are produced automatically - validated against your engineering standards.
Design Variants
One Model, Unlimited Configurations
Parametric master models generate complete design variants - each with correct geometry, drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation. Configure by size, material, component selection, or any custom parameter.
- Machine frame variants across multiple sizes
- Configurable conveyor systems and material handling
- Modular tooling and fixture design
- Custom enclosures and sheet metal housings
- Parametric structural steelwork
- Rotary equipment in multiple size series
Platforms
Automation Tools We Work With
We deliver CAD automation on the two leading mechanical engineering platforms, using their native automation ecosystems.
Autodesk Inventor + iLogic
Native parametric automation using Inventor's built-in iLogic rule engine. We build intelligent models with embedded design rules that drive geometry, material selection, and documentation generation directly within Inventor.
Capabilities
- Parametric model rules and constraints
- Automatic drawing generation
- BOM and parts list automation
- Multi-value parameter configuration
- Custom form interfaces for non-CAD users
SolidWorks + DriveWorks
Advanced design automation using DriveWorks for SolidWorks. We create configurable product models that generate order-specific parts, assemblies, and drawings from simple input forms - no SolidWorks expertise required by the end user.
Capabilities
- Rules-based SolidWorks automation
- Web-based configurator interfaces
- Automatic 3D model generation
- Drawing and document automation
- ERP and sales system integration
