The bottleneck

Too much drawing work gets stuck in the same bottleneck

In many metal shops, even small custom requests create delays before work can move forward.

Too much depends on one CAD-capable person

When one drafter or technical lead becomes the bottleneck, sales, ops, and production all slow down behind them.

Too much back-and-forth before production

Customer requests often arrive messy, incomplete, or spread across messages, leading to repeated clarification cycles.

Manual prep slows quoting and handoff

Teams waste time rebuilding drawings, BOMs, and notes manually before they can quote, review, or hand work to production.

Metal Draw AI gives your team a faster starting point before the drafting bottleneck takes over the whole workflow.

Who it’s for

Built for teams handling real fabrication work

Metal Draw AI is designed for shops and teams that need to move faster from incoming request to usable technical output.

Metal fabrication shops

For workshops handling custom jobs that need quicker first-draft drawing output.

Estimators

For teams that need faster scoping material before quoting and review.

Technical sales teams

For salespeople translating customer requests into something production can actually review.

Operations managers

For teams reducing friction between incoming requests, planning, and production handoff.

Shops with limited drafting capacity

For businesses where too many small requests are not worth a full manual drafting cycle every time.

It is especially useful when many incoming jobs are simple to medium-complexity and speed matters more than starting every drawing from scratch.

Features

Everything you need to move from request to production faster

From plain-language request to drawing, BOM, and export-ready output.

01

Turn descriptions into technical drawings

Describe the part in plain language and get a clear SVG shop drawing with dimensions.

02

Make quick changes without a full CAD cycle

Edit dimensions directly so your team can review and adjust faster.

03

Avoid rebuilding BOMs manually

Generate quantities, dimensions, and material details automatically.

04

Export where the work happens

Send output to quoting, documentation, or production in PNG, PDF, DXF, CSV, and SVG.

05

Send cleaner deliverables with branded exports

Add your company logo to exported drawings for a more professional customer-facing result.

Pro
Process

How It Works

Three simple steps from incoming request to usable drawing output

1
01

Describe

Enter the part type, dimensions, material, and required processing in plain language.

2
02

Generate

Metal Draw AI creates a shop drawing, BOM, and fabrication notes automatically.

3
03

Review and export

Adjust dimensions if needed, export in the required format, and pass the output to your team or customer.

Common questions

Questions teams ask before they try it

A stronger buying decision usually depends on whether the page answers the real objections up front.

Is this a replacement for CAD?

No. Metal Draw AI is a *starting point*, not a replacement for a qualified engineer. All generated drawings must be reviewed and approved by a professional before production. Think of it as automating the tedious first draft so your team can focus on review and refinement.

What kinds of parts does it handle best?

Simple to medium-complexity custom metal parts: brackets, plates, bases, reinforcements, weldments. It excels at parts that take 30 minutes to 2 hours to draft manually. Complex assemblies or precision engineering assemblies are better handled by CAD directly.

Can I edit dimensions after generation?

Yes. Every generated drawing includes an interactive editor so you can adjust dimensions on the fly. Changes export immediately — no need to regenerate or use external CAD software.

Which export formats are supported?

Free tier: PNG, SVG. Pro tier: PDF, DXF, CSV, PNG, SVG. DXF is compatible with most CAM systems and CNC machines for direct production.

Is it useful for quoting, production, or both?

Both. Sales teams use it to turn messy customer requests into clear, quotable drawings. Production teams use it to hand off to CAM or manufacturing partners. Estimators use it to scope material and labor faster.

Do I need CAD experience to use it?

No. If you can describe a part in plain language — dimensions, material, basic requirements — the app handles the drawing. No CAD, Fusion 360, or technical training required.

How do I make a shop drawing for a metal part without CAD software?

Describe the part in words: part type, dimensions, thickness, material, holes and processing. Metal Draw AI produces an SVG shop drawing with dimensions, a bill of materials (BOM) and fabrication notes. You can correct dimensions in the built-in editor and export to PDF or DXF. A qualified professional must review and approve the drawing before production.

What is a BOM and why do I need it alongside the drawing?

A BOM (bill of materials) lists the quantities, dimensions and materials of every component. It is used for quoting, ordering material and handing work to production. Metal Draw AI generates it automatically together with the drawing, so nobody has to type it up separately.

Can I send the file straight to CNC, laser or plasma cutting?

On the Pro plan you can export DXF. The format works with most CAM systems and CNC machines. As with any drawing, check the file in your CAM system before cutting.

Does it work in Hebrew?

Yes. You can describe the part in Hebrew or English, and both the app and the website are available in both languages.

Start free. Upgrade when your team needs more. Pro from $49/mo. — less than one hour of drafter time per month.
