What is OEM engineering software?
It is custom software built around one manufacturer’s own product. Your team enters a few details such as size, rating and options, and the software produces the 3D model, drawings, parts list, cutting files and documents for that exact job, following your company’s own design rules.
How is this different from normal CAD software?
CAD software is a general drawing tool, so your team still has to draw every new job by hand. OEM engineering software already knows your product and your design rules, so it produces the finished drawings and documents for you from a few inputs.
Which products can it be built for?
Any standard product that you make in many sizes or versions. Typical examples are pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, skids, structural frames and supports, lifting equipment, platforms, enclosures, ducts and conveyors.
What does the software produce?
Depending on your needs, it can produce 3D models, dimensioned drawings, DXF cutting files, parts lists with weights, calculation summaries, quality check sheets and other documents, in standard file formats that your team and your CAD software can open.
How will we use it?
We can deliver it as a web app, a Windows desktop app or an Excel-based calculator, whichever suits your team. We include the first one-hour training session free, with an optional support plan after that.
Is the software made only for our company?
Yes. It is built specifically for your products, your rules and your way of working, for your company’s use only. Your drawings and design information are kept confidential, and we sign a confidentiality agreement before you share anything.
Do we need our design rules written down first?
No. Most companies keep their rules in old drawings, spreadsheets and their engineers’ experience. We study your past drawings and talk to your team, then turn that knowledge into the software.
How do we start?
Send us the drawings and details for one product. We build a small working demo for it, so you can see your own drawings being produced from a few numbers before you go ahead with the full software.
