Mechanical Design Services
3D CAD models and production drawings created from sketches, field measurements, PDFs, legacy drawings, redlines, or existing files.
Service overview
Calicore converts field measurements, sketches, PDFs, legacy 2D files, and marked-up drawings into organized 3D models and production documents. Deliverables are developed around the fabricator’s standards and the intended downstream use.
For existing equipment, the scope can include as-built measurement and configuration documentation. For new work, model review points help resolve interfaces before detailed drawings are released.
Step by step
The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.
We identify whether the deliverable is for fabrication, estimating, coordination, visualization, or as-built equipment records.
Source files, photographs, sketches, legacy drawings, redlines, material information, and accessible field measurements are reviewed.
Parts and assemblies are built with review points for interfaces, dimensions, drawing standards, and conditions that cannot be measured directly.
The agreed model, shop drawings, PDFs, DWGs, revision files, or as-built records are organized and delivered.
Review criteria
The drawing must state the basis and accuracy of the information shown, especially when the model was created from field measurements or incomplete legacy records.
What you receive
Common project needs
Frequently asked
Native SolidWorks files and common exchange or drawing formats can be provided based on the project team’s software and fabrication needs.
Yes, where location and access make field measurement practical. The required accuracy and inaccessible features are documented.
