Price: $149.99

Precision 3D Design for Beginners, Experts, and Everyone In-between
Intelligent, easy-to-use design tools coupled with an unbeatable price to performance ratio makes ViaCAD 2D/3D the ideal choice for CAD designers everywhere.
Usability
The power of 3D design has never been easier. ViaCAD 2D/3D CAD software offers an amazing marriage of 2D and 3D design tools to turn your ideas into reality. Quickly toggle between 2D and 3D views and create files for popular 3D printers, 2D/3D architectural plans, mechanical plans, electrical schematics, furniture designs, and anything else you can dream up. ViaCAD 2D/3D will even automatically convert imported 3D models into 2D drawings and you can then quickly create detail, section, and auxiliary views – all while working in 2D.
Creating 3D models is easy with ViaCAD, regardless of the design’s complexity. The LogiCursor will guide your cursor to help you create drafting documents or even align points in 3D. Editing is as easy as drag and drops with the Gripper.

• The Gripper tool provides click and drag-style editing for moving, copying, scaling and rotating parts of the drawing even face.
• Push/Pull Modeling delivers intuitive editing of your 3D models, allowing 3D surfaces to be editing with your mouse and cursor.
• Customizable Grids can be configured as rectangular, polar (circular), and even Isometric.
• 26,000 symbols are included to speed up your designing!

Top Features

• Powerful 3D tools such as mesh, surface, and solid modeling, blending, chamfering, and shelling
• 3D printing verification tools
• Extensive 2D drafting tools (text, dimensions, 3D to 2D drawing generation tools, bill of materials)
• LogiCursor allows drawing precisely with your mouse and cursor in both 2D and 3D. It thinks as you draw.

• Tools to create 3D from 2D shapes

2D Drafting and Documentation
A complete set of 2D drawing tools is provided for drafting documents and sketching schematics, floor plans, mechanical designs and more.

• 26 industry-standard dimension styles
• 275+ tools for 2D drafting and editing
• Tools to create Section Views to highlight important drawing features
• Automatically generate 2D drawings from 3D models
• Bill of Materials for tracking

Compatibility
ViaCAD is built with professional level technology providing speed, precision, and compatibility. Using ACIS-based geometry means you are creating with the same technology used by others using software costing thousands of dollars.

• Includes 19 file formats to share your designs.
• Compatible with AutoCAD 2019 DXF/DWG
• SketchUp 2018
• Includes STL export for 3D Printing

3D Print Tools
