Computer Aided Design
Computer Aided Design (CAD)
Professional CAD Design Services
Whether you’re developing a new product, creating a bespoke component or preparing a design for manufacturing, Forge 29 provides professional Computer Aided Design (CAD) services to help transform your ideas into accurate digital models and technical drawings.
From simple parts to complex assemblies, we work closely with businesses, organisations and individuals to develop practical designs that are ready for manufacture, prototyping or presentation.
Whether you’re starting with a rough sketch, an existing product or just an idea, we’re here to help bring your concept to life.
Design for Manufacture
A good design should do more than look impressive—it should be practical, efficient and ready to manufacture.
Our CAD services are developed with real-world production in mind, helping reduce manufacturing challenges while improving accuracy and efficiency.
We can assist with:
- Product design
- Mechanical components
- Sheet material layouts
- Laser cutting drawings
- CNC routing files
- Acrylic fabrication
- Signage design
- Furniture and cabinetry
- Campervan furniture and storage systems
- Custom enclosures
- Brackets and fixtures
- Manufacturing drawings
Every project is developed with careful attention to detail and suitability for its intended manufacturing process.
2D & 3D CAD
We offer both two-dimensional technical drawings and fully detailed three-dimensional CAD models depending on your project requirements.
Services include:
- 2D technical drawings
- 3D modelling
- Assembly modelling
- Exploded views
- Manufacturing drawings
- Dimensioned drawings
- Concept visualisations
- Prototype development
- Design revisions
- Production-ready files
Whether you require a simple cutting profile or a fully engineered assembly, we can provide a solution tailored to your needs.
Prototyping & Product Development
Turning an idea into a finished product often requires several stages of refinement.
We can support product development through:
- Concept development
- Design refinement
- Prototype preparation
- Design improvements
- Material selection guidance
- Manufacturing optimisation
- Iterative development
By identifying potential challenges early in the design process, we help reduce manufacturing costs and improve the final product.
Reverse Engineering
Already have an existing component but no drawings?
We can recreate many parts and assemblies by measuring existing items and producing accurate CAD models and manufacturing drawings suitable for future production or modification.
This service is particularly useful when replacing obsolete components or developing improvements to existing products.
CAD for Manufacturing
Our CAD designs can be prepared for a wide range of manufacturing methods, including:
- Laser cutting
- CNC routing
- CNC machining
- UV printing
- Vinyl cutting
- Acrylic fabrication
- Woodworking
- Metal fabrication
- Plastic fabrication
- Assembly manufacturing
Designing with manufacturing in mind helps minimise waste, improve accuracy and reduce production time.
File Formats
Depending on your requirements, we can supply designs in a range of industry-standard formats suitable for manufacturing, collaboration or presentation.
These may include:
- DXF
- DWG
- STEP
- STL
- SVG
- AI
- Other formats where required
If you’re unsure which format you need, we’ll be happy to recommend the most suitable option for your project.
Why Choose Forge 29?

Our CAD Design Process
Initial Consultation
We’ll discuss your project, understand your objectives and gather any sketches, photographs, measurements or existing drawings.
Design Development
Your concept is developed into accurate CAD drawings or 3D models, with regular communication throughout the design process where appropriate.
Review & Refinement
You’ll have the opportunity to review the design and request revisions before final approval.
Manufacturing Preparation
Once approved, we’ll prepare the required files for manufacturing, prototyping or production, ensuring they’re suitable for the intended process.
Ongoing Support
If your project evolves, we’re happy to provide design updates, modifications and further development as your requirements change.
