CAD TECH is Aaron, a trade-qualified boilermaker who spent 10 years in fabrication before moving into mechanical design and drafting. That's why his drawings are different. He's stood on the shop floor with his own drawings in hand, so he knows exactly what a fabricator needs to quote and build accurately, and what classroom-trained drafters tend to miss.

His work covers heavy industry and mining, custom fabrication, automotive and motorsport, and engineering overflow. The throughline is accuracy, and knowing what "ready to build" really means.

That trade background shows up in the details: material selection informed by parts he's personally fabricated and installed, weld prep that suits the gear in a normal shop, and designs that survive contact with the real world - not just the screen. He also works with 3D scan data, a capability not every drafter can interpret or build from.

  Mission

Drawings you can build from

To deliver clean, accurate, manufacturing-ready drawings that fabricators can build straight off the page, backed by real experience on the tools.

  Vision

Parts that fit first time

To bring 3D scanning and trade-informed design to custom fabrication across Australia - so automotive, marine, RV and industrial parts fit the first time, every time.
