CAD design renderings of custom metal gates for fabrication by HM Metalworks

Most projects don’t arrive as finished, fabrication-ready drawings, and that’s fine. Send us what you have, whether it’s a napkin sketch, an architect’s PDF, or a full 3D model, and our in-house CAD team will turn it into drawings we can quote, build, and install from.

Because the people drawing your parts work right next to the people cutting, bending, and welding them, problems get caught on screen instead of on the shop floor. That means fewer revisions, cleaner fit-up, and parts that go together the first time.

What We Can Do With Your Design

  • Turn sketches, photos, and PDFs into accurate 2D drawings and 3D models
  • Produce shop drawings for architect, designer, or GC approval before anything is built
  • Review designs for manufacturability and suggest changes that save time or cost
  • Create flat patterns and cut files for laser cutting and press brake forming
  • Coordinate dimensions with your site and installation schedule

What to send us: DXF, DWG, STEP, or PDF files, or just a sketch with dimensions and a few photos. Include it with your quote request and we’ll tell you if anything is missing.

Designed with Fabrication in Mind

Our CAD work happens in the same shop that builds your parts. We design around real tooling, material, and weld access, and we account for bend allowances, tolerances, and how the piece will be installed. What gets approved on screen is what shows up on site.

Who We Work With

We regularly work with architects and interior designers developing restaurants, bars, and hotels, general contractors managing commercial build-outs, and OEMs that need production parts drawn and built to spec. Having CAD in house keeps everyone working from the same drawings, from first sketch to final install.
