ViaCAD 2D/3D

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. 

The power of 3D design has never been easier. ViaCAD 2D/3D 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. 

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. 

Powerful Solid Modeling

ViaCAD provides solid modeling technology found in much higher end products. There is a unique tie between 2D and 3D; which means you can edit 2D profiles used to create 3D objects and the 3D shape will automatically update.

• Feature-based History Tree for editing
• Powerful 3D editing tools such as blending, chamfering, and shelling
• A complete design tool with extrusions, Booleans, surface modeling for more complex smooth surfaces
• Precise geometry suitable for ‘concept to manufacturing'

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 

Additional Features:

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 drop with the Gripper™.

• The Gripper provides click and drag style editing for moving, copying, scaling and rotating parts of the drawing, even faces.
• Customizable Grids can be configured as rectangular, polar (circular), and even Isometric.
• 26,000 symbols are included to speed up your designing!
• The LogiCursor™ allows drawing precisely with your mouse and cursor in both 2D and 3D, aligning your cursor with existing points in your drawing.
