Automotive, Marine & RV Modifications
DWG NO. CT-AM-003REV A / SHEET 1 OF 1

Custom parts and modifications for vehicles, boats, and campers - designed properly in 3D, with full manufacturing drawings so a fabricator can build it right.

Most custom automotive and marine fabrication starts with someone measuring up a vehicle by hand and hoping for the best. CAD TECH can come to the vehicle, take accurate measurements, and build a 3D model of the modification before a single piece of steel is cut - so you can approve the design before it's built.

Applications

/01

Automotive - custom suspension & chassis

Wishbones, subframe mounts, diff brackets, roll cages, custom crossmembers. If it bolts to a car and needs building, CAD TECH can draw it.

/02

Motorsport - race-specific fabrication

Lightweight brackets, one-off components, reverse-engineered parts. Accuracy matters more in competition - CAD TECH delivers it.

/03

Marine - boat & trailer modifications

Custom brackets, tank supports, structural modifications for aluminium and steel vessels and trailers.

/04

RV & camper - custom fit-out metalwork

Drawer systems, slide-out platforms, custom subframes, tow and recovery mounting structures.

Common questions

Yes. CAD TECH works with clients Australia-wide. Most drafting work is handled remotely, with files sent back and forth digitally, so where you're based isn't a barrier.

All modelling and drafting is done in SolidWorks. Finished work can be supplied in the format your workshop or engineer needs, from native SolidWorks files through to STEP, DXF and PDF drawing packs.

Yes. Plenty of good parts start life as a sketch on a job sheet, a photo of a worn-out component, or a description over the phone. CAD TECH builds the 3D model from your sketch or idea, sends it through for approval, then produces the full manufacturing drawings.

Ten years on the tools as a boilermaker before drafting. The drawings are laid out the way a fabricator actually works: tolerances that suit the process, weld prep that can be done with the gear in a normal shop, and bend lines that account for what steel really does in a press.
