3D Solid Modeling & Assembly Design
Parametric part and assembly modeling built for downstream use — clean feature trees, reusable geometry, and models that update the way they should when requirements change.
Precision Mechanical Design & Drafting
CAD work that holds up under tolerance, under deadline, and under review.
Arclight CAD delivers production-grade 3D modeling, detail drawings, and technical documentation for teams that can't afford a design that almost fits. Decades of experience in high-reliability, precision-driven engineering environments, now available for projects of any size.
- 20+years hands-on design experience
- 15,000+hours in CATIA V5
- 100%producibility-first approach
Services
From concept geometry to shop-ready documentation.
Detail & Installation Drawings
Fully dimensioned, shop-ready drawings with clear callouts, revision control, and a drafting standard your team or your supplier can actually follow.
Tube, Hose & Routing Design
Routing of rigid and flexible lines through tight, congested envelopes — balancing clearance, bend limits, serviceability, and interference with surrounding structure.
GD&T & Tolerance Stack-Up
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing applied with intent, not habit — datums and tolerances chosen to control function, not just pass a checklist.
Design for Manufacturability
Designs reviewed against how they'll actually be built — machined, formed, welded, or fabricated — to reduce cost and rework before a drawing ever gets released.
Model-Based Definition (MBD)
Fully annotated 3D models for suppliers and shops working directly from model data, reducing translation error between design intent and the part on the table.
Legacy Drawing & Model Conversion
Bringing old 2D drawings or outdated CAD files forward into a current, maintainable 3D model and drawing set.
Technical Documentation
Specification and requirements documentation written to be used — by a supplier, a shop floor, or a reviewer — not just filed away.
About Arclight CAD
Arclight CAD is built on more than two decades of hands-on mechanical design and drafting experience, including over 15,000 hours in CATIA V5, developed in high-reliability, precision-driven engineering environments where a design either meets tolerance or it doesn't ship.
That standard carries over to every project here: tight tolerances, producible designs, and documentation clean enough that someone other than the designer can pick it up and build from it.
Arclight CAD takes on focused design and drafting engagements — a single assembly, a drawing package, a routing study, a legacy conversion — without the overhead of a full engineering firm.
- CATIA V5 specialist — 15,000+ hours
- Mechanical design & drafting, 20+ years
- Precision/tight-tolerance system experience
- Comfortable with supplier-facing documentation
- Single point of contact, start to finish
How a Project Runs
-
01
Scope & Intake
A short conversation about what you need — geometry, drawings, format, deadline — and whether it's a good fit.
-
02
Quote & Timeline
A clear, fixed-scope quote with a realistic delivery date before any work begins.
-
03
Design & Review
Work-in-progress checkpoints so there are no surprises at delivery — you see it before it's final.
-
04
Delivery
Finished models, drawings, and documentation in the formats you need, ready to use.
How We Work
Flexible on environment, strict on data handling.
Client-Provisioned Environment
For engagements involving licensed or proprietary CAD platforms, Arclight CAD works inside whatever secure environment the client provides — a virtual desktop (VDI), a VPN-tunneled connection to a floating license pool, or a cloud platform tenant with named-user access. No client software or license is installed or held locally unless the client specifically provides it for that purpose.
Your Data Stays on Your Systems
Models, drawings, and project files live where the client's security policy puts them — their VDI, their vault, their repository. Arclight CAD doesn't require local copies of proprietary data to do the work, and follows whatever access controls, MFA, or file-handling restrictions the client already has in place.
Bring-Your-Own-License Work
For engagements using tools Arclight CAD licenses independently, work is done on Arclight CAD's own hardware and software, with deliverables handed off in the client's preferred file formats.
