PAPER TO CAD CONVERSION

Simplify your design workflow with our reliable and efficient CAD drafting services.

What is Paper to CAD conversion?

Paper-to-CAD conversion is the process of transforming manual, hand-drawn blueprints or scanned paper drawings into precise digital CAD files.  This is useful for modernizing old engineering drawings, architectural plans, mechanical schematics, or other technical documents that exist only in hard copy or non-editable formats.

How the Process Works

Scanning the Paper Drawing – The original blueprint or sketch is scanned to create a high-resolution digital image (usually in PDF, JPEG, or TIFF format).

Tracing & Digitization – The scanned image is imported into CAD software (like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Revit), where engineers or drafters manually trace or use automated tools to recreate the drawing in vector format.

Adding Dimensions & Details – Missing dimensions, annotations, layers, and technical details are added to match the original drawing.

Quality Check & Finalization – The digital CAD drawing is checked for accuracy, proper scaling, and completeness before being delivered in formats like DWG, DXF, or STL.

 

Why Convert Paper Drawings to CAD?

Preserve Old Drawings – Prevents wear and tear on original blueprints.

Easy Modifications – CAD files can be edited and updated easily.

Better Accuracy – Eliminates errors caused by manual interpretation.

Integration with Modern Systems – CAD files can be used in CNC machining, 3D modeling, and simulations.
