Use the tools with your CAD
Every CAD package imports our STEP files today. Add-ins that open the tools inside your CAD are on the way.
Works with any CAD today
Every tool downloads STEP, the format every mechanical CAD package imports, at true nominal size. DXF and SVG carry true lines and arcs for sketches, laser cutters and waterjets, and STL goes straight to your slicer.
Each downloaded file also carries its design. Open it with the tool's Import button and you're back to the exact settings, ready to change one thing and download again.
Add-ins: the same tool, inside your CAD
A CheapCAD Tools add-in opens the same online tool in a panel inside your CAD software, and imports each download straight into your workspace. There's nothing extra to install or update: the tool itself runs on our servers.
