About CadWare

CadWare S.r.l. is an Italian software company founded in 1989, with over 35 years of experience in Computer Aided Design solutions. Throughout our history, we have developed CAD tools used in prestigious projects such as the New European Parliament and the National Library of France.

Our expertise spans multiple domains: from general-purpose CAD systems to specialized vertical applications for photovoltaic system design, sheet metal manufacturing, wire EDM machining simulation, pipe routing systems and more. Since 2010, we have partnered with devDept Software, making Eyeshot the core technology platform for all our 2D/3D application development. This 15-year collaboration has enabled us to deliver professional-grade CAD solutions to clients worldwide.

In 15 years of working with Eyeshot, we have built from commercial products to embedded industrial solutions. Eyeshot gives us the freedom to focus on what matters most: solving our customers' real-world engineering challenges.

Challenge

Before adopting Eyeshot, developing 3D CAD applications required enormous investments in low-level graphics programming, format conversion, and geometric algorithms. We needed a technology partner that could provide a solid, professionally maintained foundation – handling CAD file formats, 3D rendering, and modeling complexity – while giving us the flexibility to build domain-specific solutions on top.

Solution

Eyeshot has become the technological backbone of our entire product portfolio. Here are some of the applications we have built:

BlueSol – Photovoltaic System Design
Commercial software for photovoltaic system design, sold internationally. Features real-time shadow simulation, irradiation mapping, 3D cable routing, and electrical diagram generation.

Sheet Metal Unfolding
Industrial application that imports STEP/IGES 3D models, calculates flat pattern development, determines bending sequences, and exports DXF data for CNC press brakes.

Wire EDM Machining Simulation
Developed with GF AgieCharmilles, this application provides real-time 3D simulation of wire EDM operations. Now integrated into GF's latest generation machines.

Other Delivered Projects
Additional solutions include 3D pipe routing systems and FEA pre/post-processing tools, with new projects scheduled for the coming year.

CoreCAD.NET – Our Next-Generation Platform
Currently in development, CoreCAD.NET is a comprehensive 2D/3D CAD library built on top of Eyeshot. It will serve as the foundation for our future vertical applications, providing professional CAD functionality including dimensioning, hatching, entity editing, and AutoCAD-like command interfaces. This strategic investment demonstrates our long-term commitment to the Eyeshot platform.

Results

Quantitative Results

  • Development time reduced by an estimated 60–70% compared to building 3D infrastructure from scratch
  • 15 years of continuous collaboration, with multiple major projects delivered
  • BlueSol: commercial product sold worldwide with active user base
  • GF AgieCharmilles integration: deployed on production machinery

Qualitative Benefits

  • Focus on business logic: Eyeshot handles graphics complexity, allowing us to focus on solving customer problems
  • Reliable file format support: DWG/DXF/STEP/IGES import/export works consistently
  • Professional rendering: real-time shadows, transparency, and visualization effects
  • Responsive technical support from devDept team
  • Continuous platform evolution: regular updates keep our products current with industry standards
