Automated 2D Drafting (AI Drawing Generation) Solutions
Drafting Automation
What is Hacadly Automated 2D Drafting?
Facing These Challenges?
Releasing 2D drawings after the 3D model is finished takes too long
Creating views, placing dimensions and tolerances, entering annotations, filling in the title block: a large amount of drafting work is still waiting once the design itself is done.
Rework on every design change
Every time the 3D model changes, dimensions and annotations on the 2D drawings are fixed by hand, so responding to changes takes time.
Manual transcription errors drive rework and checking load
Because dimensions and annotations are transcribed by hand, omissions and duplicates are hard to avoid - driving up the checking workload and rework after release.
Hacadly solves these challenges.
Service Details
Automated 2D Drafting (Drawing Generation)
Generates the 2D part drawings needed for machining and manufacturing directly from a 3D model. View placement, dimensions, tolerances, annotations and the title block are all handled automatically, taking the manual work out of drawing release.
Features
Import your 3D models
Give it your design intent
Output as native CAD drawings
Works in a range of CAD environments
Your own drafting rules, built in
A secure on-premises environment
Experience automated drafting with your own 3D models and drawings.
Use it to check the quality and coverage of generated drawings, and to validate before adoption.
Results
Weekly drawing-generation workload halved
Automating part and assembly drawing generation from 3D models is modelled to compress a release operation spanning outsourced drafting and in-house checking, and to remove visual checks for missing dimensions.
Drafting time per drawing cut from hours to tens of minutes
Replacing the manual work of view placement, sections, detail views and dimensioning with automatic generation frees engineers to focus on concept design.
How It Works
Understand your current process
We review your target products, CAD environment, drawing-release process, drafting standards and where rework currently occurs.
Select the rules and scope
Based on expected effect and feasibility, we select which parts, drawing types and drafting rules to automate first.
Verify with your sample data
Using your actual 3D models and drafting standards, we verify the quality of generated drawings and the effect on your workload.
Implement rules and build the environment
We tune the drafting rules from the verification results and set up the CAD add-in, servers and access permissions.
Full rollout and continuous improvement
You start using it in production work, and we extend the target parts, drawing types and drafting rules as the results come in.
