Paper to CAD Conversion:

Paper to CAD Conversion presents various benefits as converted drawings. Since revision, storage, retrieval, documentation and transportation of paper drawings is cumbersome task requiring expensive resources including valuable space, human resources etc. There is also a high risk of paper drawings getting damaged in various ways over period of time.

We specialize in providing high quality paper to CAD conversions which are:
• Compatible with your existing CAD systems.
• Require no additional training costs.
• Are easily edited/upgraded.
• Can be shared between multi users and multi locations.
• Are economical than redrawing them in-house.

Rendering Architectural/ Engineering:

Renderings & Animations are effective tools to help communicate your ideas & products in the marketing stage or to help illustrate your conceptual designs to others in your organization. The 3D renderings and "walk-through" provide your prospective clients an unmatched visualization tool to be able to appreciate the design even before the project is started.

3D Modeling and Rendering Services used for:
• Architecture / Interior Designing / Land Scaping.
• Mechanical Engineering - Manufacturing.
• Industrial Engineering.
• Animation.

3D Modelling Architectural/ Engineering:

3D Modelling whether it's an Architectural-presentation, Mechanical, Industrial or any other design discipline, 3D CAD models are standard for presentation and conceptualization of the proposed design.

Services are available for:
• Conversion of 2D / 3D CAD design to accurate 3D Models.
• Conversion of 2D CAD drawings to required formats such as Solidedge, Solidworks etc.
• Creation of "Walk through" animations for true to life presentations.
• Conversion of 2D Paper Drawings to 3D CAD Formats.
• 3D Terrain modeling for maps.
• Exploded view generation from a given Assembly.
• 3D Wire Frame Modeling.
• 3D Animations & Walk-Throughs.

3D Animation involves the below mentioned steps:
• Story Board • Character Decision • Modeling • Blend Sheap • Texturing • Riging • Animation • Lighting • Rendering

Kindly provide us the information for the following questions to enable us to give you an accurate Cost and Time estimate:
• Which of the above steps would you like to outsource?
• Are you going to provide the story board?
• What kind of models are involved? Kindly provide us with some examples?
• What kind of environment and scenarios are involved? Kindly provide us with some examples?
• Is modeling real, semi real or cartoon? Please provide a sample of work needed by you.
• Is UV or normal texturing needed?
The cost estimate (pricing/quotation) depends upon all the above factors and what effects are needed by you? So if you could send a sample scenario, we will be able to send a more accurate cost estimate (pricing/quotation).
