CAD design services
Don't have a CAD file?
Most great parts start as a sketch, a photo, or a broken original. Idea8's product engineers — the team behind 50+ shipped products — turn them into manufacturable CAD.
Concept → CAD
Describe the part — function, interfaces, constraints — and receive manufacturable solid CAD with drawings.
Sketch → CAD
Hand sketches, whiteboard photos or napkin drawings modeled into precise, dimensioned geometry.
Reverse engineering
Physical part → measured, scanned and reconstructed CAD, ready to modify or reprint.
DFAM optimization
Your existing CAD reworked for additive: wall sections, orientation, supports, consolidation and cost.
Mechanical engineering
Tolerance analysis, material selection, fastener strategy and fit verification by product engineers.
CAD & STL repair
Broken meshes, non-manifold exports and corrupted files repaired to printable condition — often same-day.
Request CAD support
Show us what you're working with.
Upload a photo, sketch or drawing and describe what the part needs to do. An engineer responds with approach, timeline and fixed pricing — typically within one business day.
- • Fixed-price quotes for defined scopes
- • You own the CAD — native files + STEP delivered
- • NDA available before you share anything
Have a physical part instead?
Our 3D scanning service reconstructs CAD from the object itself.
