CAD Design & Cutting Services

Problem: I'd like to buy an automated fabric cutting table, CAD, and a pattern digitizer, but I can't afford the upfront purchase costs.

Solved: North Winds Canvas offers digitizing, CAD and fabric cutting services. Now you can take advantage of the amazing advances in fabrication technology without the six-figure investment in equipment.

We offer the following services:

  1. Pattern Digitizing. We can take your existing patterns and digitize them and turn them into dxf CAD files.
  2. 3D Digitizing. Do you have an object you need rendered or drawn in CAD? Our 3D digitizer makes this a snap. We can scan any object, large or small.
  3. Pattern creation. If you need to make a pattern based on a 3-dimensional object, we can scan your object in and create the pattern in CAD.
  4. CAD. We can create dxf files, clean up your patterns in CAD, render 3D objects, and do any other 2D or 3D CAD work you may need.
  5. Nesting. Our nesting software allows us to nest patterns pieces efficiently and quickly.
  6. Automated fabric cutting. We have a 20' x 6' computerized fabric cutting table. Once you patterns are "cut-ready" (drawn and nested for cutting) we can cut them out, box them up, and mail them to you.
