Our CAD files preparation service turns design data into clean, vendor-ready packages. We fix datum references and coordinate systems, confirm units and tolerances, structure assemblies for PDM, and export neutral formats your suppliers can use without guesswork. Therefore, fabrication and installation proceed with fewer RFIs and less rework.
CAD files preparation — scope and outputs
What we prepare
Structured assemblies (sensible sub-assemblies, part numbering, properties)
Correct datum references, origins and axes aligned to site set-out
Interfaces (hole patterns, clearances, service envelopes) fixed and documented
Redacted models for external sharing (IP-sensitive detail suppressed where needed)
Formats we deliver
STEP (AP203/AP214/AP242) and Parasolid/IGES for neutral exchange
DXF/DWG for profiles and sheet-metal; flat patterns where applicable
STL for mock-ups/3D print and quick fit checks
BOM exports (CSV/XLSX) and interface schedules (coordinates/levels)
Review views/snapshots and mass properties/CoG for lifting plans
Standards and conventions
Units (mm) and title properties consistent; revision and issue purpose set
Naming rules and layer/colour conventions aligned with your house standards
Fit classes/threads noted per ISO practice where relevant (e.g., H7/g6)
Simple, documented transmittal structure for each issue (IFR/IFC/As-Built)
Pre-flight checks before export
Scale/units and coordinate origin verified; geometry sanity (no stray bodies)
Clash/clearance and envelope checks on critical items
STL watertightness for prints; DXF line types/layers CAM-friendly
Vendor component data included/linked correctly; suppressed IP where required
As a result, recipients can open and use the files immediately
Inputs we need
Approved 3D model or our model reference, target CAD/CAM formats and versions, site set-out and datum references, house standards (naming, properties), and supplier capabilities/requirements.
Collaboration
We can work in your PDM/templates and numbering, keep a simple change log, and bundle zip packages with readme and transmittal notes for each release.
Boundaries (so expectations match)
This page covers CAD data and exports. Manufacturing drawings, FEM reports and PLC/electrical files are handled on their respective pages; we coordinate interfaces as needed.
