What CAD Drafting Services Include?
CAD drafting provides accurate 2D CAD drawings that support design, engineering, and manufacturing. While often used by machine shops to fabricate parts, CAD drawings are also widely used for:
- Maps and cartography
- Branding and graphic layouts
- Building and architectural plans
- Inspection and QC documentation
- Landscaping and site planning
A CAD drafting company uses professional CAD software to turn your specifications into precise drawings. Once complete, the finalized files are delivered for production, planning, or presentation.
3D CAD Conversion Request

Why Professional 3D CAD Conversion Matters?
Modern CAD platforms let engineers create highly detailed 3D models—but every system uses different features and proprietary file formats. When files are transferred or converted, key design features and embedded intelligence can be lost, leaving behind simplified or “dumb” models.
That’s why expert conversion is essential.
At Radix, we work across the top major 3D CAD systems to deliver accurate, feature-rich conversions that preserve design intent and functionality. Our deep software knowledge allows us to handle diverse applications and formats while maintaining the full integrity of your models.
Create Your CNC Ready Model
CNC-Ready CAD Services
We prepare your models for seamless CNC machining. Whether scanning existing plastic or metal parts, updating designs, or delivering CNC-ready files, we make it simple—just hand the files to your manufacturer and start production.
We also offer rapid prototyping to accelerate development. Using high-resolution laser scanning, we create precise 3D scans and accurate flat patterns for laser cutting, plasma cutting, and bending.
Streamline your manufacturing workflow with expert CAD preparation — let’s get things in order.
HIGH-Quality and Professional Outsourced CAD Drafting
No matter your industry, CAD files must work seamlessly with your in-house software. If you use AutoCAD, we deliver files formatted to open directly—ready for immediate use. Just open and send to your machine shop for a smooth, turnkey workflow.
What Is CAD Drafting?
CAD drafting (computer-aided drafting) is the creation of precise 2D technical drawings using specialized software, replacing traditional hand-drawn blueprints. Outsourcing CAD drafting ensures manufacturing teams receive accurate files detailing:
- Dimensions
- Material specifications
- Design features
These drawings provide all the information needed for efficient, cost-effective fabrication and assembly—critical for machining or other manufacturing processes.
Complexity of Your Parts and Required Regulations
The complexity of your parts and regulatory requirements heavily influence CAD drafting pricing. Designing medical devices, for example, demands strict adherence to federal standards, requiring experienced engineers and meticulous attention to detail—naturally increasing cost.
For intricate or challenging parts, we assign senior engineers to ensure precision and quality, which is reflected in pricing.
Competitive, Transparent Rates
CAD/CAM Services offers rates from $85–$150 per hour, supported by a team of 10+ skilled engineers and draftsmen. With millions of drawings completed, we deliver reliable, high-quality CAD drafting services you can trust.
Choose CAD/CAM Services for transparent pricing and expertise you can count on.
