AutoCAD Design Process

For design and drafting, Acutech Water Jet Cutting and Fabrication uses AutoCAD (Computer Aided Drafting) software. AutoCAD allows its users to design such things as buildings, products, and machine parts without having to draw the plans out by hand. It is possible to make 3D models and to explore the design on your computer screen before it is produced. Computer aided design and drafting gathers information about such things as materials used, the dimensions of the project, tolerances, and processes then formats the information into one cohesive sketch. It is frequently used in the design process of tools and machinery for buildings and product manufacturing.

Even if you do not have AutoCAD, we can take your ideas and transfer them into computer-generated designs for you. Whether this entails working with your idea from scratch or taking a drawing with specifications that you have already laid out, Acutech can help you with the design process. First, we look closely at your initial idea and any sketches you may have, then we are able to integrate that idea into the AutoCAD program that will finalize dimensions and enable our computer numerical control (CNC) machines to make your design or product a reality.

Acutech can take AutoCAD files or enter drawings and requirements into AutoCAD and create parts on water jet or laser cutting machines. This saves time and allows you to transfer your plans into our computers quickly and easily in DWG file format. DWG is a drawing file format that is supported by many other computer aided drafting programs, making it easy to transfer files from one operating system to another. These files include filenames with .bak, .dws, .dwt, and .sv$.  For easy transfer,
