    CAD Services

Expert CAD support without the cost or complexity of hiring in-house.

CAD Services Backed by Real Manufacturing Experience.

We provide accurate, production-ready CAD drawings for manufacturers, engineers, and product companies across New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and beyond. Whether you need a single set of drawings or ongoing support, we work within your existing workflow and software environment without disruption.

Our team brings over 80 years of combined manufacturing experience to every drawing we produce. That means the CAD we deliver does not just look right on screen. It works on the factory floor.

3D CAD Modelling

Detailed part and assembly models built to manufacturing specification and ready for production

Manufacturing Drawings

Fully dimensioned, production-ready technical drawings that manufacturers can work from without ambiguity

Reverse Engineering

Existing parts, physical products, or rough sketches converted into accurate, workable CAD models

Assembly And Exploded Views

Complex assemblies clearly documented for production, quality control, and technical manuals

CAD Retainer Support

Ongoing CAD capacity that works as an extension of your team, available when you need it without the overhead of a full-time hire

CAD Services

Platform Experts. Cross-Platform Ready.

Our team specialises in Onshape, one of the most capable and collaborative CAD platforms available today. Cloud-based, real-time, and built for professional product development, Onshape is at the core of how we work. We also have strong capability in SolidWorks for clients and projects where it is the preferred platform.

Modern CAD makes cross-platform collaboration straightforward. Files move cleanly between Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Rhino, Creo and other platforms without loss of data or precision. So regardless of what your team or your manufacturer uses, handover is seamless and compatibility is never a problem.

You get the benefit of deep CAD expertise combined with the flexibility of a team that fits into your existing workflow without friction.

We also handle CAD conversion and migration: turning 2D drawings into full 3D models, bringing legacy files into Onshape or SolidWorks, and rebuilding scanned or hand-drawn concepts as production-ready CAD. Pro-Dev works with clients across New Zealand, from Wellington to Auckland and Christchurch, as well as Australia and the USA.

Why A Cad Retainer Makes Sense

For manufacturers, engineering firms, and product companies with ongoing CAD needs, a retainer arrangement is significantly more efficient than managing project-by-project work.

With a retainer you have a dedicated CAD resource available when you need it, without the overhead of a full-time hire, the inconsistency of freelancers, or the delays of scoping individual projects every time work comes in. We are already familiar with your products, your standards, and your workflow, so every piece of work is faster and more accurate than starting fresh each time.

Retainer clients also get priority turnaround. When something is urgent, you are not waiting in a queue.

Who Is This For

Manufacturers

If you are a manufacturer who needs production drawings but does not have a full-time CAD person on staff, we can fill that gap without the cost or commitment of a hire.

Engineering Firms

If you are an engineering firm with more CAD work than your team can handle, we work as an extension of your team, matching your standards and turnaround expectations.

Product Companies

If you are a product company that needs CAD support for a specific project, a product update, or an ongoing pipeline of work, we can structure an arrangement that fits.

Global Clients

We work with clients across New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. Remote collaboration is straightforward and our turnaround times are competitive regardless of your location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Onshape and SolidWorks. Both produce production-ready 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings that any factory or toolmaker can work from. If your project already lives in another system, we can usually migrate it.
Yes. CAD conversion is a regular part of our work: 2D drawings into full 3D models, legacy files into current formats, and scanned or hand-drawn concepts into production-ready CAD.
Yes. Pro-Dev is based in Upper Hutt, Wellington and works with clients across New Zealand including Auckland and Christchurch, plus Australia and the USA. CAD work runs smoothly over video calls and shared models.
A complete 3D model, 2D manufacturing drawings, and a bill of materials where relevant. You own the files and the IP. Done properly, a factory can quote from the pack without a single clarifying question.

Your Idea Is Protected from the First Conversation

We sign an NDA before any project discussions begin. Due to these same agreements with our clients, we are not always able to publicly display all of the products we have designed and manufactured. We take confidentiality seriously on both sides.
