Paper and Film 2D Digitizing

A lot of engineering companies have old drawings on paper or film. Today, machine shops will ask you for a CAD drawing, and a lot don’t know what to do with paper drawings in the first place. This leaves you in a predicament: how do you turn your paper drawings into CAD files?

At CAD/CAM Services, we offer paper and film 2D digitization services. These services will take your old physical drawings, schematics, blueprints, etc., and transform them into functional 2D CAD files.

With our help, your entire backroom of physical drawings can be transferred into digital CAD files. This allows you to quickly pull up a drawing, share it, and make adjustments to it. So many people have chosen CAD/CAM Services for our CAD Perfect CAD Conversions®.

Paper and film 2D digitization services involve taking your physical paper and film drawings, and then turning them into digital 2D CAD copies. At CAD/CAM Services, that typically means making 2D scans of the original drawings, and then drawing them from scratch in your CAD program of choice.

These services are unique, because it’s not just one step and one specific set of skills. Instead, you need a company that has extensive 2D scanning experience, expensive 2D scanner equipment, and then engineering experience to make sure every drawing is perfect. You’ll find that and more when you choose CAD/CAM Services.

Our team will take your pile of drawings and magically turn them into digital CAD files.

The full process requires incredible attention to detail, commitment to quality, and patience. Sadly, a lot of other outsourced engineering companies don’t have those characteristics, but our team at CAD/CAM Services does. We will take the time needed, and give our full attention to your paper and film drawings. The result? Better reliability, better accuracy, and better overall precision for each digitized drawing.

This is why it’s so important to pick the right paper and film 2D digitization company. The wrong outsourced company will waste your time, waste your money, and potentially damage your legacy drawings.

At CAD/CAM Services, we have gentle 2D scanners that will never rip your drawings. Our engineers have a great commitment to quality, and we ensure every digitized drawing is perfect. You don’t have to worry about anything when you choose our team.

Most of our services at CAD/CAM Services are custom, and they revolve around your needs. With our paper and film 2D digitization services, we like to start with a consultation. This is usually a phone call, and it’s pretty brief.

During this call, we want to learn what you’re looking for, what paper and film drawings you want to digitize, how big the project is, and what type of CAD program you’re using. From there, we can handle everything else.

We’ll collect your physical drawings and then run them all through our fancy 2D scanners. We check every scan for quality before moving to the next phase. The next phase really depends on your project — in some cases, it involves drawing every file from scratch on CAD with your scanned image as a reference. Other times, we simply need to arrange the digital files in a specific way before sending everything to you.

Our files get sent digitally through an encrypted filesharing application that the DoD uses. It keeps your data secure, and it’s really easy to use. If you see any issues or anything you don’t like, just let us know and we’ll fix the issue within 24 hours.
