Paper to CAD Conversion Services

Paper to CAD Conversion Services from Spectra Solutions

Tighter deadlines and stricter budgets have forced companies to rethink about how they can come up with architectural and mechanical drawings. Though CAD has spread across industries replacing conventional drawing methods, many firms still continue to use paper based drawings.

Paper drawings are not only cumbersome to produce, but also require investments in hiring skilled draftsmen. Add to this, paper drawings carry the risk of being damaged or lost. Imagine an entire project going haywire because a few plans were lost.

A permanent solution to this is CAD conversions of paper-based drawings. This involves taking all of your paper drawings and converting them into a digital form - which can then be modified and accessed through the latest CAD software. Some of the direct benefits of paper to CAD conversion include:

  • Permanent digital records of paper drawings are created, which can be accessed at any point of time
  • Minimizes data loss by nearly 99%. Digital drawings are also less prone to sabotage and damage
  • Reduces storage space, which is otherwise required to store paper drawings
  • Saves you money that would have gone into hiring draftsmen - to create and maintain paper drawings
  • Improved information flow via email and other means
  • High quality drawings with accuracy in dimensions
  • Engineering Document Management (EDM) and Product Data Entry (PDM) systems can be employed to archive and manage CAD drawings systematically
