SERVICES

2D CAD


We produce all kinds of 2D designs, for all kinds of projects. Using the latest CAD software packages, we create high quality, 2D CAD from your original sketches, paper copies or red-line mark ups.

From site plans, planning applications and building elevations, to process and instrumentation drawings. And from product design to British Standards electrical works and service drawings; our experienced team has an outstanding reputation, for delivering accurate and aesthetically pleasing 2D projects for our clients.


3D CAD


We use leading 3D CAD technology to bring product ideas or building design and coordination projects to life. We’ll work with you to take your design concept from initial hand-drawn sketches or 2D drawings, developing it into realistic and accurate 3D models.

For developers and architects, we use our expertise in building services, alongside our extensive experience of creating 3D BIM models, to provide fully clash-detected 3D MEP coordination drawings for assisting and enhancing installation processes.

Or, for product design concepts, we’ll produce highly detailed manufacturing drawings, displaying multiple views of the product and component breakdowns. We’ve worked on a whole host of projects, from heavy engineering equipment or automotive parts, to consumer durable goods.

Using the latest 3D modelling software packages, including Inventor and SolidWorks, we work with a wide variety of clients, from all sectors, and on projects of every size


BIM Services


More and more construction projects now need to use BIM technology to conform with the government’s BIM strategy.

BIM (Building Information Modelling) streamlines construction projects, bringing all architectural, structural and building services elements of a project together into one combined model. It can also allow users to manage the project timelines (4D BIM) and budgets/costings (5D BIM) on construction design projects; reducing the risk of mistakes and budget overspills.

Our CAD team has extensive experience in working on projects to BIM Level 2 providing accurate and in-depth modelling to some of the best-known construction companies in the UK. We can provide BIM services for any size of construction project – from high profile public developments to personal endeavors.


Point Cloud scanning


Point cloud scanning allows the mapping, measuring and visualisation of complex 3D environments. It collects data using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology, resulting in millions of data points which when combined can be used with most CAD packages to help create accurate 3D models.

We use our FARO FocusM 70 – with a range of up to 70 metres and an accuracy of +/-3mm – to create 3D images of buildings and site perimeters. It’s the perfect solution for hard-to-reach or dangerous settings such as offshore locations or heavily populated areas such as existing plant rooms. Aside from this it also eliminates the need for a traditional measured site survey, saving time and reducing errors.


Bespoke Services


We’re flexible and experienced enough to offer bespoke CAD solutions and have done for a number of our clients. Should you need something a little out of the ordinary or perhaps aren’t sure what you need, don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss how we might be able to help.

DATS CAD Services is also able to offer a variety of additional services, if required. These include site surveys, drawing conversions and print services.
