Our projects

A 3D CAD system for unlimited possibilities

Constantly switching between different programs is time-consuming and, in the long term, also reduces quality. With HiCAD you work with both 2D and 3D functions in one user interface. The drawings can be transferred directly to NC-machines, production or manufacturing. These automated processes allow projects to be completed on time, in an optimized, safe and accurate manner.

In these industries we support you with our CAD software:

Engineering Design
Structural Engineering
Product Design

Multiple industries in one CAD model

HiCAD is the only 2D/3D CAD software that can incorporate steel engineering, sheet metal and plant engineering elements in one single model. It provides all industry-relevant and -specific functions in one user interface..
