If you are a job shop vendor, contract manufacturer or someone who does custom contract work to others' specifications, you probably have the need to receive 2D or 3D CAD files to collaborate with or provide quotes for your customers.

Do any of the following sound familiar?

Always seem to have the wrong CAD software or the wrong version of the right CAD software?

Does it take hours to download some large CAD files that are attached to email? Then they still won't open?

Are you forced to PAY others to open and print CAD data for you because you have NO CAD SOFTWARE?

Ever get blamed for having the wrong drawing revision or for mis-reading numbers on a poorly faxed copy of the right drawing revision?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

You'll probably agree that no one really makes it easy for vendors like you to have all the tools necessary to easily and accurately read all CAD files that your customers send to you.

The fact is, your customers design products, so they need to have sophisticated CAD design software. This makes sense. You need to quote and build parts to their spec. You are not, typically, designing these parts. So does it really make sense that you need to have sophisticated CAD design software when you are only quoting and building? Imagine this analogy: you are hungry for a hamburger to cook at home on your barbecue grill. But instead of simply being allowed to buy 1/2 pound of ground beef to cook, you are forced into buying the entire side of beef.

If sophisticated CAD design software only came in one never-changing variety, that everyone always used, it opened every file, was inexpensive and simple to use -- you would already own it! But, sadly, this is not the case. And, furthermore, all you really need is inexpensive and simple to use CAD viewing, measuring, collaboration and quoting software. It would need to open every file and provide simple access to every measurement and view so you can make recommendations and produce more accurate and timely quotes to close new business. It's really a tool you need for accurate quoting, collaborating and building of parts to your customer's specifications.

That's why we invented CADopener and you access its power through the Internet. In fact all this power happens within CADopener's sophisticated servers. You simply download The CADopener Viewer one time and then you can instantly open, read and use all of your customer's CAD files sent through CADopener. When you are notified of a CAD file to be downloaded, you access the secure download page and retrieve your file using the CADopener File Receive Module. The CADopener Viewer allows access to all CAD files just like Adobe Acrobat^™ allows access to PDF files.

CADopener supports 2D & 3D CAD files from virtually all CAD systems.
