Computer Aided Design or CAD has progressed a long way since we first got involved in 1982, when most of the drawings produced were 2D alternatives. Since then, 3D has become much more available and now using IRONCAD Software, we can quickly produce full 3D illustrations for both design and manufacturing requirements together with the new facilities for 3D Plastic Printing. Chorley 3D can provide integrated CAD Services for a wide range of trades, professions, or individuals in the Preston, Burnley and Lancashire area provided by our owner Ron who has a wide experience in providing expert 3D drafting and design services.

CAD 2D Drafting

The provision of regular 2-dimensional drawings for your product, proposal, or ideas which can come complete where required with manufacturing details, parts listing, and material specification, bills of materials etc.

Drawings include 3 or more views, cross-sections, specific details, and isometric illustrations where required. All drawings are fully dimensioned with tolerances and include assembly practices and procedures.

CAD 3D Drafting

Often called 3D modelling, this provides you with a 3D illustration in colour for your product, proposal, or idea which can then be supplied either as a hard copy or online.

Using the free available software, CAD 3D drafting allows you to view these illustrations from any angle on your own devices. When you are satisfied, we provide full 2D drawings for manufacture or otherwise again fully dimensioned.

When using IRONCAD software, we begin with the 3D view and then automatically work backwards for the 2D. The following are examples of previous projects, which were eventually produced in suitable materials and Plastic Printed Components either full size or as scale models.
