A CAD designer in Jämtland, Sweden
NordiTeq is a Swedish sole trader, registered for VAT and F-tax (the Swedish business tax registration). The CAD services are part of the same business that manufactures parts by 3D printing. That means you have one contact person from the first sketch to the finished file, and the person designing the part also knows how it will be made.
We work on single spare parts, fixtures and enclosures as well as products heading for series production. Projects come both from companies and from private individuals with a broken part or an idea.
A designer who also manufactures
We print our own prototypes using FDM. Every day we see how wall thickness, orientation, clearance in fits and overhangs affect the result. That experience goes into every CAD model, even when the part is to be made another way.
For CNC machining, sheet metal, photo etching and injection moulding, we prepare the design data and help you find a workshop that can make the part. We do not claim to have machines we do not have – but we know what the workshop needs to give a good price. Read more in the guide engineering drawings for the workshop.
How we work
Everything starts with what you have: a sketch, a photo, an old drawing, a physical part or an existing file. We review it free of charge, ask the questions that are needed and give you a fixed price or a capped number of hours before any work starts.
The model is built parametrically, with dimensions and constraints in the sketches and a clear history. That makes it possible to change a hole pattern or a wall thickness later without rebuilding everything. You receive images to review as the work progresses, and adjustments within the quote are included. If you want to prepare the data yourself, see the guide how to measure a part.
Tools and file formats
We design in Autodesk Fusion. There we create constrained sketches, solids, surfaces, sheet metal parts, assemblies and drawings. The model is delivered in the format your supplier or your own CAD software needs.
If you work in SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo or Solid Edge, you receive a STEP or Parasolid file that opens as a solid model. The feature history does not transfer between different CAD programs, but the geometry is exact. For 3D printing we deliver STL or 3MF, for laser and waterjet cutting DXF, and for the workshop PDF drawings. We explain the differences in the guide to STEP, STL and DXF.
Confidentiality and NDA
Your files and ideas are used only for your project. We never show customers' models or drawings in our portfolio – it only contains showcase projects we have designed ourselves.
If you want a confidentiality agreement, we are happy to sign an NDA before you send any material. That applies especially to inventions not yet filed for a patent.
Who owns the files?
Once the job is paid for, you own the files produced for you and may use them freely, including with other suppliers. If we are to copy an existing part, you are responsible for having the right to do so. For your own parts and discontinued spare parts this is rarely a problem.
Remote work, languages and response time
All work is done digitally, so it makes no difference whether you are in London, Dublin, Oslo or Hamburg. We communicate in English, Swedish and Polish, and are happy to receive material in other Nordic languages. You normally get a reply within 1–2 working days.
