CAD DESIGN

Custom Parametric and Sculptural 3D Modeling with Fusion 360 and FreeCAD

Platform: https://3d.dglabs.cloud

What is our CAD Design service?

Not every project starts with a print-ready 3D file. If you have an idea, a paper sketch, 2D plans, a broken part you need to replicate or simply a description of what you want, our CAD design team will create the three-dimensional model from scratch. We use professional parametric software to ensure dimensional accuracy, editable models and files compatible with any manufacturing process.

Our workflow

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    We gather all project information: dimensions, materials, intended use, visual references and technical constraints. Without enough data, the model will never be right.

  2. 02

    References and sketches

    We create 2D sketches or reference moodboards to align the client's vision with the designer before investing hours of modeling work.

  3. 03

    3D modeling in Fusion 360 / FreeCAD

    The parametric modeler builds the model with dimensional precision, editable parameters and validated solid geometry. For organic shapes, digital sculpting is used.

  4. 04

    Iterative review

    The client receives renders or visualization files to review and approve. Corrections are part of the process and are iterated until the desired result is achieved.

  5. 05

    File delivery

    Files are delivered in the agreed formats: STEP for manufacturing, print-ready STL/3MF, and the native editable file (F3D or FCStd) for future modifications.

Tools we use

We work with industry-recognized professional software, prioritizing Fusion 360 and FreeCAD for their parametric precision and universal compatibility with manufacturing processes.

Primary tool

Fusion 360

Autodesk

The industry standard for cloud-based CAD/CAM design. Fusion 360 combines solid and surface parametric modeling, finite element simulation (FEA), CAM analysis and photorealistic rendering in a single platform. It is our primary tool for mechanical parts, assemblies and precision technical prototypes.

  • Solid and surface parametric modeling
  • FEA simulation and stress analysis
  • Normalized 2D technical drawing generation
  • Integrated CAM for milling and machining
  • Cloud collaboration with version history
  • Exports STEP, IGES, STL, 3MF, F3D, DXF
Primary tool

FreeCAD

Open Source Community

Open-source parametric CAD software with a robust ecosystem of specialized workbenches (Part, PartDesign, Arch, FEM). Its native STEP and IGES compatibility makes it the ideal option for open technical projects, architectural models and clients who need editable files without proprietary license dependency.

  • Fully non-destructive parametric modeling
  • Arch workbench for architecture and construction
  • Integrated finite element analysis (FEM)
  • 100% free, no licenses or subscriptions
  • Exports STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, FCStd, DXF
  • Active community and specialized extensions

Blender

Blender Foundation

Used for organic modeling, digital sculpting and artistic parts where parametric geometry is not the most efficient tool. Ideal for figures, busts, sculptures and freeform decorative elements.

  • High-fidelity digital sculpting
  • Mesh and NURBS modeling
  • Photorealistic rendering (Cycles/EEVEE)

Meshmixer

Autodesk

Specialized tool for repairing, optimizing and preparing STL meshes for printing. Used to fix non-manifold geometry, add advanced supports or combine models from different sources.

  • Automatic STL mesh repair
  • Organic support generation
  • Wall thickness and print issue analysis

Project types

We cover everything from the most technical industrial part to the most detailed artistic sculpture.

Mechanical parts & spare parts

Gears, housings, adapters, brackets and any technical component with strict dimensional tolerances.

Art & organic sculpture

Busts, figures, abstract sculptures and freeform elements where parametric geometry gives way to digital sculpting.

Architectural scale models

Scale models of buildings, urban developments or architectural elements for presentations or design studies.

Reverse engineering

We replicate existing physical parts through manual measurement or 3D scanning, creating an editable CAD model faithful to the original.

Product design

Designing new products from concept to functional prototype, including ergonomics, tolerances and material specifications.

Dental & medical applications

Study models, splints, reference implants and any application where dimensional precision is critical.

Delivery formats

We deliver files in the formats you need, both for direct manufacturing and for continuing the design in your own software.
