3D part & assembly models
Detailed models of parts and full assemblies, built to real dimensions.
3D modelling & drafting in Christchurch.
Accurate 3D models and fabrication drawings in Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks, so your design is checked and ready before any steel is cut.
Service Overview
See it, check it and fix it on screen first.
Mistakes found on site are expensive. Mistakes found on screen cost almost nothing. Our 3D modelling and drafting service turns your idea, sketch or concept into a detailed model you can review before it’s built.
Because our drafting team works alongside our fabricators, the drawings we produce are practical to build. You can use them with us, or take them to your own workshop or engineer.
What’s included
- 3D models in Inventor or SolidWorks
- Fabrication and shop drawings
- Structural layout drawings
- Clash checks before build
- Revisions as the design develops
- Files ready for fabrication
What We Can Build
Models and drawings for every stage of a project.
Drafting work we produce for builders, engineers, fabricators and business owners.
Fabrication drawings
Clear, dimensioned shop drawings our team or yours can build straight from.
Structural drawings
Layouts showing members, sizes, connections and fixing details.
Reverse engineering
Existing parts measured and modelled so they can be remade or improved.
Concept development
Early ideas turned into workable designs you can review and refine.
Design checks
Models reviewed for fit and clashes before fabrication or installation.
Built To Spec
Drawings that are built to be built.
What makes our drafting practical for the workshop and the site.
Accurate to real sizes
Models are drawn to true dimensions, so what you see is what gets built.
Clear and readable
Drawings are laid out simply, with the details fabricators actually need.
Checked before build
We review fit and clashes in the model, so problems are solved early.
How It Works
From idea to buildable drawings.
A simple process for 3D modelling and drafting work.
Share your idea
Send a sketch, photos, measurements or an existing drawing.
We model it
Your design is built in 3D using Inventor or SolidWorks.
Review together
You check the model and we make any changes you need.
Final drawings
You receive fabrication-ready drawings, or we build it for you.
Recent Work
Designed on screen, built in steel.
Projects where our models and drawings guided the build from start to finish.

+64 22 630 9757What software do you use?
We model and draft in Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks.
Can you work from a hand sketch?
Yes. A sketch with key measurements is often enough to start. We’ll ask questions to fill in any gaps.
Can I use your drawings with another fabricator?
Yes. Our fabrication drawings are prepared to be clear and practical, so they can be used by any workshop.
Can you model an existing part?
Yes. We can measure an existing part and create a model or drawing so it can be remade or improved.
Can you make changes after the first model?
Yes. We expect some back and forth, and we’ll update the model as your design develops.
How do I get a quote for drafting work?
Send your sketch, photos or existing drawings through the quote form, or call us to discuss the project.
