Raster to Vector Conversion for Mechanical Engineering Drawings

May 31, 2010

Wikipedia defines mechanical engineering as “an engineering discipline that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems.”  Mechanical engineers use engineering drawings to explore the principles and depict the systems they design.  Before the days of Computer Aided Design (CAD) draftsmen hand-drew mechanical engineering drawings.  Those original hand-drawn mechanical drawings are legacy drawings that trace a company’s engineering advances over the years.  Most firms want to preserve these legacy engineering drawings. 

One simple way to preserve legacy  paper engineering drawings is by scanning them , then,  using a process called raster to vector conversion, the mechanical engineering drawings can be converted into o CAD files that can be accessed by whatever CAD system the engineering firm uses. 

CAD / CAM Services, Inc.  provides outsource services for scanning and raster to vector conversion of mechanical engineering drawings.    

One of the main advantages of CAD outsourcing is to get the job done by experienced professionals, who understand how important your mechanical engineering legacy drawings are to you. CAD/CAM Services has been awarded with the AS9100 and GSA certificates and we are one of the few authorized CAD Conversion companies certified by the Department of Defense CAD Conversion work. We are proud to offer you .005″ accuracy for raster to vector conversion of your mechanical engineering drawings, or other CAD outsourcing projects.

I f you do not want to sustain the costs of hiring a full-time draftsman and prefer to eliminate the cost of a full time employee and to pay for the work only when you need it CAD/CAM raster to vector conversion of mechanical engineering drawings outsourcing services are for you!

We are glad to offer you our two registered trademarks Cad Perfect™ and Cad Perfect CAD Conversions™ for any of your raster to vector conversion mechanical engineering drawing projects. For our CAD outsourcing services we use the latest professional software (AutoCAD; Revit; Navisworks; MicroStation; VectorWorks; SolidWorks; Catia V5; ArcInfo (GIS & Data Conversion ; BIM Services; PI & D; Aero Space; Architecture Services; Structural Engineering; MEP Services ; Visio; etc) together with our own software and programs we have written to convert your engineering drawings and then our professionals spend hours and hours for hand redrawn to produce Cad Perfect™ mechanical engineering drawings for your CAD system..

Raster to Vector Conversion for Construction Drawings

May 31, 2010

Many construction companies have stacks or rolls of old paper construction drawings that are stored in basement storage rooms, or off-site storage facilities. In most instances these old construction drawings are hand drawn records of construction projects that pre-date the development of Computer Aided Design (CAD).

One simple way to eliminate the need for maintaining these old paper construction drawings is by scanning them, and, using a process called raster to vector conversion, turning them into CAD files that can be accessed by whatever CAD system the construction company uses.

CAD / CAM Services, Inc. offers both software for raster to vector conversion of construction drawings and also raster to vector conversion services for construction drawings.
CadCam R2V Software converts your scanned construction drawings to CAD compatible file formats for full editing capability. CadCam R2V software can provide converted files that can be brought into your AutoCAD or Microstation CAD programs.
CadCam R2V is a highly manageable and professional document raster to vector converter that automatically converts scanned construction drawings into files that are easily editable in any PC CAD, CNC, GIS or any other mapping program. Its chief features are:
 Vectorizes construction documents quickly and easily into CAD files
 All construction drawing sizes are available without any specification to size.
 Convert all standard raster files like TIFF, BMP, CALS, PNG and JPG etc.
 Produces raster files in binary i.e. black & white images.
 Both raster and vector construction drawing editing tools available for hybrid editing.
 Competitive price.
 Optional printed manual and free technical support.
 Can function with any PC (Windows 7 and most other Windows versions supported).

We use our two registered trademarks CAD Perfect™ & Cad Perfect CAD conversions™ to describe our raster to vector construction drawing conversion service process. CAD Perfect™ & Cad Perfect CAD conversions™ provide perfect CAD construction drawings with real lines, arcs, circles and text as text, produced at minimum with 3-7 layers (levels) and colors. As per your choice we use your in-house layering scheme or any scheme suitable for raster to vector that you designate at no extra charge. All of the raster to vector converted construction document files are delivered in your native CAD file format.
