Fastest path to production

Start with any design data, add details and then quickly generate complete and accurate production materials.
“BricsCAD Mechanical has enabled our team to set even higher standards for structural and mechanical drawings”

Part Design

BricsCAD’s unique variational 3D modeling approach gives you the freedom to design how you want to, from concept to detail, with whatever level of parametric control you need. Quickly develop complex stand-alone components or directly within an assembly.

Sheet metal design

BricsCAD Mechanical can create sheet metal components from scratch and allows users to automatically convert solid parts to sheet metal with just one click. This robust approach lets you spend more time evolving your design and less time worrying about redefining sheet metal features.

Assembly design
BricsCAD Mechanical users can create complex hierarchies of parts and sub-assemblies using bottom-up or top-down design methods. You can import assemblies from different CAD systems using Communicator for BricsCAD, including Parametric geometry defined in those assemblies.

Efficient 2D detailing

BricsCAD offers the best and most familiar workflow for turning your mechanical designs into production drawings.

Drawing views

Automatically create drawing views of your 3D parts and assemblies and detail views easily with dimensions and annotations. If your 3D model changes, generated drawing views are updated automatically.

  • Base views
  • Projected views
  • Section views
  • Detail views
  • BOM table
  • Balloons

Fast generation of draft-quality drawings

Speed up drawing layout using fast, draft-quality views and use multi-core CPUs to create detailed views in record time. BricsCAD Mechanical is responsive to your inputs during background drawing generation.

Automatic drawing update

Drawing views remain associated with the 3D model. Change a single part, subassembly, or the whole assembly, and all 2D drawing views are automatically updated, allowing fast design iterations and changes.

Section views

You can create section views of 3D parts and assemblies. Section planes can be defined by a line drawn on a base view, or you can create more complex sections: half sections, offset sections, and aligned section views.

Detail views

BricsCAD Mechanical allows you to automatically create detail views from any existing view in your drawing layout.

Bill of Materials table

The BOM panel lets you manage multiple BOM tables in your drawings. You can format each column individually, set up equations, sort tables, and more.

Balloons

BricsCAD Mechanical creates associative balloons for each component in an assembly and manages the display of those tags in all automatically generated 2D views.

Mechanical symbols and annotations

All the 2D detailing annotations you need, from datums and geometric tolerances to surface finishes to weld symbols and representations, are available at your fingertips to quickly create 2D production drawings.

Power Dimensions

The POWERDIM tool intelligently creates the right dimension for the selected geometry, including fits and tolerances, making dimensioning your drawing views effortless.

AutoCAD® Mechanical compatibility

Easily open, edit, and reuse symbols and annotations in your drawings created in AutoCAD Mechanical.

Multi-CAD Connectivity

Bring CAD data from many other formats seamlessly into BricsCAD with Communicator for BricsCAD. Easily and quickly build it into your assemblies, modify it via direct modelling, or make it intelligent by applying parameters.
