CAD Design
30+ years of 3D/2D mechanical draughting and design. Turn your projects and sites into reality — from complex retrofit work to new machine design.
Over 30 Years of CAD Expertise
CADSense delivers professional 3D CAD design services with over three decades of experience. Brian, our lead engineer, has worked as a Support Engineer for Autodesk NZ, trained directly by Autodesk at Autodesk University, and continues to stay at the cutting edge through close ties with Autodesk staff and participation in their Alpha/Beta programs.
We regularly support industrial plants, manufacturing facilities, process environments, commercial sites, and complex retrofit projects.
Real Projects. Real Experience.
We understand manufacturing and engineering from the ground up — starting on the workshop floor and progressing through design leadership roles across New Zealand, Germany, France, the Philippines, and Austria.
That real-world background means we don't just draw what you ask for — we understand how it will be built, and design accordingly.
Design Capabilities
3D Mechanical Design
Full parametric 3D modelling — parts, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings. From concept through to production-ready.
2D CAD & Draughting
Detailed 2D drawings, general arrangements, and fabrication drawings to any standard. AutoCAD since Release 11.
Retrofit & Brownfield
Design within existing plant and infrastructure — using PointCloud data to design around what's already there, clash-free.
Piping & Process
Pipe runs, P&IDs, and process equipment layouts in Autodesk Plant 3D and Inventor — from concept to isometric drawings.
Structural Steel
Portal frames, platforms, conveyors, and structural steel design — with full GA drawings and fabrication details.
Civil & Site Design
Site layouts, earthworks, drainage, and infrastructure design. AutoCAD Civil 3D for cut/fill, TIN surfaces, and machine control.
Machine & Equipment
Custom machine design — conveyors, tanks, silos, rotors, and specialised industrial equipment from first principles.
Remote & International
Experienced working with remote teams and international clients. NZ-based design delivered worldwide.
