FAQs

  • I predominantly use Autodesk Powershape for the majority of my CAD projects that require more complex surface modelling. Alongside this, I am a licensed user of both Fusion360 & Solidworks allowing parts, assemblies and drawings to be saved and edited with a complete structure tree.

  • I am able to generate models in file formats that can integrate with the majority of other CAD packages or be fed directly into CNC machines, laser cutters or 3D printers to start the process of manufacturing.

    For 3D models: Stp X_T Iges Stl SldPrt DGK F3d OBJ Blend

    For 2D Drawings: DXF DWG SldDrw Pdf Jpeg SVG AI

  • By using and having access to a wide variety of licensed software (Autodesk Powershape, Fusion360, Solidworks, Spaceclaim, Blender and Adobe Illustrator) I am able to open and be able to work with nearly all file formats exported from other CAD or drawing packages. For example, these may include: Stp, Dgk, CATPart, Parasolid, X_T, Iges, Stl, SldPrt, F3d, OBJ, Blend, DXF, DWG, Jpeg, SVG, AI

  • As an attachment to an email the maximum file size would be 30mb. Files larger than that would need to be sent through cloud storage services such as; Google Drive, Microsoft 365 OneDrive, SharePoint or Wetransfer.

  • Lead times will always vary depending on the size and complexity of a model or project. At HUDCAD, I pride myself on my ability to offer the fastest achievable lead time, understanding the demands and fast pace of the Engineering and motorsport industries. On average, single piece 3D CAD models are able to be delivered within a week of the projects kick off. It is however possible for simple 3D Models or 2D drawings to be able to be completed for next day delivery under special circumastances.

  • I am able to open and use 3D scan mesh data, commonly provided in an STL format. This information can serve as a reference or starting point to begin a new project or, by using the process of reverse engineering, be converted it into a Solid and functioning CAD model.

  • Much like a 3D scan, a blender model will import into CAD software as a point cloud mesh. I am able to re-draw and reverse engineer this data into functioning surfaces that behave functionally as a parametric CAD model.

  • All of my CAD models are able to be provided as an Stl format that will import directly, ready to print.
