The challenge
Engineering drawings often exist only as images or PDFs. Converting them to editable SVG and DXF by hand takes a long time.
What we built
We developed a web and Android SaaS tool, plus a command-line utility for Windows and Linux, that vectorizes drawing images automatically.
What we delivered
- Loading of PNG, JPG or PDF drawings, or a photo taken with an Android phone camera
- Automatic vectorization, with skeletonization of lines and curves
- Optical character recognition (OCR)
- Overlay comparison of the input and the vectorized output
- Export to SVG and DXF files
- Full integration with Onshape, and single sign-on for Autodesk Forge and Onshape users
- Dark and light themes, and a payment gateway for advanced features
The outcome
Accurate conversion of drawing images into vectors.
