Our CAD Design Process

Agree on the brief and deliverables, review the design, then approve the files for delivery. Prototype production is a separate stage when included in your quote.
Step 1

Consultation (Free)

Review your idea, sketches or reference parts. Confirm dimensions, intended use, file formats and the scope of the quote.

Step 2

CAD Modeling

Build or revise the model in the agreed software. Review the geometry and key dimensions with you before final approval.

Step 3

Review & Optional Prototype

Review the design and complete the included revisions. When quoted, make a prototype to check fit and function before further design or production.

Step 4

Deliver Final Files

Deliver the agreed 3D geometry, dimensioned drawings and any specified native CAD files. File formats and editable features are confirmed in the quote.

CAD Applications and Project Requirements

The intended use determines what the design must include. These examples illustrate requirements to discuss when defining your project.

Medical & dental prototypes

Define whether the model is for visualization, fit checks or prototype development. Agree any regulatory documentation and validation deliverables in the project scope.

Requirements to define
Intended use, source data, material, contact surfaces and verification plan.

Easy Iteration

Parametric models allow quick design changes without starting from scratch

Manufacturing Ready

Choose the file formats needed for the next step: CAD geometry, a print mesh or technical drawings. Deliverables are agreed before work begins.

Faster Development

Visualize and validate designs before committing to physical prototypes

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our CAD design services

What file formats do you provide?
3D CAD geometry: Formats such as STEP or IGES for exchange between CAD systems.

Print meshes: STL or OBJ when a mesh export is needed.

2D drawings: Dimensioned PDF, DWG or DXF files when included.

Native editable files: Specify your CAD software/version and the features or parameters you need to edit. A STEP file transfers geometry; it does not preserve the original native feature history. Your quote confirms the exact deliverables.
The time ranges shown above are estimates. The schedule depends on the part or assembly, the available reference information, the drawings required and the review stages. Share your deadline in your enquiry; we confirm the delivery date and any rush availability in the quote.
Projects include 1–2 revision rounds depending on the package; your quote confirms the number and scope. Review the model against the agreed brief before final approval. Additional revisions or new requirements are quoted separately before the extra work begins.
Yes. Start with an idea, a sketch, photos with dimensions, an existing model or a physical sample. Tell us what the part must do and what you want to change. If measurements from a physical object are needed, scanning and CAD reconstruction can be scoped separately.
Yes! We specialize in design-for-additive-manufacturing (DFAM). We’ll ensure proper wall thickness, support requirements, orientation, and tolerances for your chosen 3D printing technology (SLS, SLA, or FDM).
Yes, we’re happy to sign non-disclosure agreements before discussing your project. Your intellectual property is protected and we never share or reuse client designs.
Absolutely! We offer integrated services including 3D printing (SLS, SLA, FDM), rapid prototyping, and can connect you with local Montreal manufacturers for injection molding, CNC machining, or other processes.
3D modeling covers several methods. CAD can use solids, surfaces and parametric features to define a part’s geometry and design intent. A mesh represents surfaces with polygonal faces. The right approach depends on whether you need visualization, design changes, drawings or manufacturing files. Tell us how you will use the result so we can agree on the model type and deliverables.
