Transforming 2D Drawings into 3D: The Launch of 3D.Core for CAD

In recent years, industries such as automotive and machinery have been transitioning from 2D to 3D design standards, especially among large corporations. However, many historical design blueprints remain stored as 2D formats on paper or PDF, making the process of transforming these into 3D data cumbersome and inefficient.

The challenge arises when highly skilled technicians, often trained specifically for such tasks, are needed to manually convert these 2D drawings into 3D representations. This manual process can lead to increased time consumption and also requires experience in ensuring the accuracy of the data. Moreover, as a number of veteran engineers retire, and paper-based blueprints are risked to be lost or discarded, the demand for digitizing design assets is becoming increasingly urgent. Smaller companies that provide machine components are particularly lagging behind in adapting 3D designs due to financial constraints and a lack of skilled personnel compared to their larger counterparts. This creates barriers in collaboration, as costs and complexities arise in outsourcing 3D data conversion for partnerships with larger firms.

To address these issues, bestat, a Tokyo-based company specializing in cloud services for 3D data processing, has launched a beta version of its new service, 3D.Core for CAD. Known for their expertise in algorithms, bestat has previously provided solutions geared toward infrastructure construction and heavy industry, focusing on maintenance, inspections, and creating digital twin simulation environments. Through feedback from clients, it became evident that converting stored 2D designs into 3D formats was a significant challenge that warranted their attention.

The newly developed algorithm efficiently converts standard 2D drawings (in DWG format) into STL files, which are compatible with most 3D CAD software. Compared to the traditional methods that rely on manual labor, this automatic system not only promises high precision but also significantly reduces costs and time. By facilitating the effective reuse of historical design assets and improving inter-company collaboration, the service aims to empower a wide array of business sectors through enhanced 3D data utilization.

Key Features and Usages of 3D.Core for CAD

The 3D.Core for CAD algorithm has been designed with versatility in mind. It allows greater complexities in 2D designs to be incorporated in subsequent updates, including providing automated completions for information that may have been omitted during the design process. The anticipated applications of this revolutionary service include:

• - Streamlining Communication in Manufacturing Prototyping: By converting 2D drawings of previously sold custom parts into 3D CAD data, manufacturers can streamline reproduction processes and optimize storage management.
• - Enhancing Transactional Efficiency in Automotive and Machinery Production: The expedited transfer of parts drawing data between companies allows for smoother business transactions within the industry.
