Is there a CAD drafting service near me?
You don’t need one nearby. Upload the drawing from anywhere in the US; there is no site visit, no hand-off and no drafter to brief. The model is built and checked online, in minutes, and you download the files.
Is this 2D drafting or 3D modelling?
3D modelling: you send a 2D drawing (a PDF, scan or photo) and get a 3D STEP solid plus an STL, checked against every view. It does not redraw plans into 2D DWG or DXF files. For the view-by-view method, see 2D drawing to 3D model.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a CAD drafting service cost?
From $29.99 per part, paid once, with the price shown after the free check and before you pay. Outsourcing firms and freelancers quote per drawing or per hour, and revision rounds add to it.
How long does CAD drafting take?
Minutes, not days, from payment to download. It is fully automated, so there is no drafter’s queue.
Do I need to write a brief or manage a drafter?
No. The drawing is the brief; if it leaves something out, we ask you.
Do you work with shops outside New Jersey?
Yes, anywhere in the US. Everything happens online, so you upload the drawing and download the files from wherever you are.
Do you sign an NDA?
There is no drafter or freelancer to sign one, because none ever sees your drawing. It is never used to train AI, and it is deleted after 90 days, or sooner if you ask.
Can you draft from a paper print, scan or photo?
Yes, if the views and dimensions are legible: paper prints, scans and photos all work. The free check tells you before you pay.
Which parts can’t it draft yet?
Assemblies, freeform surfaces, and drawings with missing views or dimensions. The free check tells you before you pay.
Is the STEP file editable?
Yes. It is a solid, not a mesh or flat 2D lines, so any CAD package can open and edit it.
