Design and Draft

CAD-CAM Design

Allweld’s in-house engineering team provides full design and drafting services using SolidWorks, NX and Teamcentre, including 3D scanning and modelling. We produce technical drawings for compliance and certification, create client approval renders, and work from existing sketches or drawings.

Allweld’s design and drafting team provides a complete engineering design service to support every stage of your project. Whether you’re starting from a concept sketch, an existing drawing, or a complex brief, our team translates your requirements into precise, manufacturable designs.

Using industry-leading software including SolidWorks, NX and Teamcenter, we deliver both 2D technical drawings and full 3D models. We also offer 3D scanning for reverse engineering or as-built documentation. Our engineering team can prepare technical drawings for compliance and certification purposes, and we create detailed renders and visualisations for client review and approval before fabrication begins.

Design is available as part of a full project quote or as a standalone service depending on your needs. Typical design phase turnaround is 6–8 weeks, depending on project size and complexity.

Service Process Steps

01 Initial Brief

We discuss your goals, operating environment, budget and timeframes so we clearly understand what your project must achieve.

02 Concept Development

Our team develops initial concepts and confirms layout, materials and structural requirements with you.

03 CAD Modelling

We build detailed 2D drawings and 3D CAD models using SolidWorks, NX and Teamcenter for your review and approval.

04 Client Review

We present renders and visualisations for your review and approval before any fabrication begins.

05 Compliance Documentation

Our engineering team prepares all technical drawings required for compliance and certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work from my existing drawings or sketches?

Yes. Our design team can work from your existing drawings, sketches or rough concepts and develop them into detailed, manufacturable designs ready for fabrication.

Do you provide drawings for compliance and certification?

Yes. Our in-house engineering team prepares full technical drawings to support vehicle compliance, certification and approval processes.

How long does the design phase take?

Turnaround depends on project size and complexity. As a guide, most design phases run between 6 and 8 weeks. We’ll give you a more specific timeline once we understand your project.

Is design included in the project quote?

It depends on how the project is priced. In some cases design is included in the overall quote; in others it is priced separately. We’ll be clear about this upfront when we quote your project.

Can you create 3D renders for client approval?

Yes. We create detailed renders and visualisations so you can see exactly how your project will look before fabrication begins.

What CAD software does Allweld use?

We use SolidWorks, NX and Teamcenter for all design and drafting work, supporting both 2D technical drawings and full 3D modelling including 3D scanning capability.
