Questions and answers about CAD design

Photos from several angles and a few key dimensions are often enough. A sketch, an old drawing or a physical sample also works. The more precise the input, the faster and cheaper the job.

STEP and IGES for CAD and CNC, STL and 3MF for 3D printing, DXF and DWG for laser, waterjet and sheet metal, plus PDF drawings. Native files on request.

It depends on the complexity of the part and the input material. You always get a free assessment and a fixed price or capped hours before we start.

A simple part is often ready within a few working days. Larger products are planned in stages with clear deliverables.

Yes. We are happy to sign an NDA before you send anything, and your files are used only for your project.

Yes. We rebuild the mesh as a true solid model with planar faces, cylinders and dimensions – so it can be edited and machined.

NordiTeq manufactures by 3D printing and can help you on to CNC, sheet metal, photo etching and injection moulding. You are also free to take the files to any supplier.

Yes, we work remotely with customers across the Nordics and the EU, in English, Swedish or your language.

You do. Once the project is paid, you receive full rights to the files created for you.

Yes. We produce 2D drawings with views, sections, tolerances, fits, threads and surface finish to ISO standards.

We design in Autodesk Fusion. Models are delivered in neutral formats such as STEP and Parasolid, which open with full geometry in SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo, Solid Edge and CATIA, among others.

You receive a STEP or Parasolid file that opens directly in SolidWorks and Inventor with correct geometry. The feature history does not carry over in neutral formats, but we can build the model so the dimensions you want to change are easy to find and adjust.

Yes. A sketch with the main dimensions is often enough, especially if you add photos. We ask about anything unclear before we start, so you do not pay for guesswork. Have a look at our guide to measuring a part.

One review round with adjustments is always included in the quote. Larger changes to the requirements after approval – for example a new dimension on a mating part – are priced separately, and you are told the cost before we make them.

If the part does not fit because of a mistake in our model, we correct it at no extra cost. That is why we check critical dimensions before delivery and recommend a test print when the fit is crucial.

Using the form on the quote page you can attach files of up to 64 MB. Larger files, such as scan data, can be sent as a link from a cloud service in an email to us.

We carry out simplified checks and design with a margin, which is enough for most brackets, covers and fixtures. When a calculation has to form part of a certification or CE documentation, a stress engineer is needed, and we then deliver the model in the required format.

Yes. Many projects involve a single spare part for the home, the car or the holiday cottage. Private customers receive a quote showing the price including any applicable VAT.
