Parts, assemblies and the machines that cut them.

Mechanical archives from machine shops, fabricators and product makers: the parts and assemblies, their shop drawings, and the programs and inspections behind them.

See mechanical CAD in the catalogue

  • Parts and assemblies

    Native 3D models with their features, mates and history.

  • Shop drawings

    Dimensioned 2D drawings with tolerances and title blocks.

  • CNC and CAM

    The programs and toolpaths that cut each part.

  • Inspections

    The reports that checked each part against its drawing.

Buildings, from plan sets to BIM.

Architecture and engineering archives from working firms: drawing sets, Revit and IFC models, MEP and telecom plans, and civil and survey projects.

See building CAD in the catalogue

  • Plan sets

    Plans, sections, elevations and details, as issued.

  • BIM models

    Revit and IFC models with their families and levels.

  • MEP and structure

    Engineering drawings and the calculations behind them.

  • Civil and survey

    Survey field data with the drawings made from it.

Native files. As each firm saved them, from AutoCAD and Revit to SolidWorks, Rhino and SketchUp, with layers, parameters and assemblies intact.

  • AutoCAD
  • Revit
  • Dassault Systèmes
  • Autodesk
  • SketchUp
  • Rhino
  • Maya
  • FBX
  • PDF
  • Images

Files a model can learn design from. Not renders, not public model libraries.

  • The revisions behind each part

    A part's whole revision series, so a model sees how a design changed, not only where it ended.

  • Tied to what was built

    Drawings with the CNC programs that cut them, the inspections that checked them and the work orders behind them.

  • Whole projects

    Complete packages, from survey field data to the drawings made from it, not single files pulled out of context.
