CADchat is a collaborative meeting tool to streamline your design and collaboration process. Think of it as a "Zoom" meeting for design engineering and manufacturing. It is a meeting tool with anytime and real-time note taking, design editing , and data integration. Cut down on time consuming meetings and bring your product to market faster.
How CADchat Powers Real-Time Collaboration
Live CAD Model Reviews—No Screen Sharing Needed
Instead of static images, CADchat allows teams to:
- Open, inspect, and annotate native 3D CAD files in real time—no conversions, no data loss.
- Make precise design edits with engineers, manufacturers, and suppliers—all in one session.
Instant Manufacturability & DFM Feedback
Manufacturing issues shouldn’t take weeks to resolve. With CADchat, teams can:
- Review and troubleshoot designs live with machinists and suppliers—reducing rework.
- Resolve issues 50% faster by eliminating back-and-forth email delays.
Engage Non-Technical Stakeholders
Design reviews often involve executives, marketing teams, and supply chain managers who don’t use CAD tools. CADchat makes it easy to:
- Provide clear, visual feedback without needing CAD expertise.
- Ensure all teams—technical and non-technical—stay aligned on critical design decisions.
No More Version Control Chaos
CADchat integrates with all major CAD file formats, so teams always collaborate on the latest, most accurate design—no lost revisions, no outdated attachments.
The future of CAD communication
As CAD continues to evolve, the focus is shifting toward communication and accessibility. The future of CAD isn’t just about designing in isolation; it’s about enabling teams to work together more effectively. Specialized meeting software will play a critical role in this evolution by addressing key pain points:
Real-time interaction with CAD files
Future-forward meeting platforms will allow teams to interact directly with CAD files during meetings. Imagine being able to rotate, annotate, and analyze a 3D model in real time while discussing changes with designers, engineers, and stakeholders.
Improved stakeholder engagement
Non-technical stakeholders often feel left out when reviewing CAD files. Specialized meeting tools can simplify complex models, enabling everyone to understand and contribute to the conversation without requiring advanced technical knowledge.
Streamlined feedback and accountability
Capturing feedback during meetings and tying it directly to CAD files ensures clarity and reduces misunderstandings. By documenting decisions and discussions, specialized platforms can hold all parties accountable and ensure alignment.
