Your engineering drawings, generated and verified at scale — no manual drafting, no vendor lock-in.
See how much Axel can save your engineering team by automating CAD production and reducing license costs.
Axel is a specialized CAD automation service built for engineering teams, design bureaus, EPC contractors, and industrial operators that depend on AutoCAD-based workflows. It eliminates repetitive manual CAD work by handling programmatic drawing generation, batch processing, file analysis, format conversion, and standards compliance — all through code, operating directly on your files and your existing toolchain.
Axel delivers production-ready DXF/DWG output: P&IDs, single-line diagrams, isometric piping drawings, rack layouts, switchboard schematics, and full drawing sets. Every output integrates seamlessly into established CAD pipelines with no proprietary dependencies.
Provide DWG/DXF files or describe the required drawing structure and parameters.
Specify the standards, naming conventions, layer rules, or automation logic to apply.
Axel produces complete CAD drawings, batch-processed sets, or audit reports.
Validate deliverables within your existing CAD workflow and revision cycle.
Integrate results into your document control system. No lock-in, no recurring licenses.
Read geometry, metadata, and structure from DWG/DXF files. Generate audit reports on layer organization, entity properties, and drawing content.
Create complete DXF drawings from scratch: plans, sections, details, P&IDs, single-line diagrams, and isometrics with full control over layers, blocks, text, dimensions, and annotations.
Control AutoCAD in real-time via COM API. Execute unattended batch operations across 100+ DWG files: layer management, block insertion, dimension automation, title block updates.
Lossless bidirectional conversion between proprietary DWG and interoperable DXF, preserving geometry and metadata throughout.
Modify drawing elements programmatically. Regenerate designs as parameters change — update a switchboard layout when the load schedule evolves, or regenerate piping isometrics when routing changes.
Verify drawings against naming standards, layer nomenclature, and structural rules. Detect overlapping geometry, missing layers, and attribute gaps. Generate compliance checklists.
Render DXF geometry to PNG/PDF previews for review and documentation, with no AutoCAD license required.
