We specialise in 3D CAD Design for the plastic industry, specialising in production ready parts optimised for additive manufacturing.
“We have used SGD 3D a few times now. Each time they dealt with our queries promptly, giving us all the information and help we needed as a new user of Additive Manufacturing” – Howmet Aerospace
At SGD 3D, we offer specialised CAD Design services for the plastic industry, helping manufacturers, engineers, and product developers transform their ideas into high-precision digital models. Whether you’re developing a new consumer product, custom component, or packaging solution, our CAD expertise ensures every design is accurate, optimised, and ready for manufacture.
CAD Design (Computer-Aided Design) is the use of software to create detailed 2D and 3D models of products before they are physically produced. For the plastic industry, this means designing parts and products that are ready for manufacturing processes such as:
Injection moulding
Blow moulding
Thermoforming
3D printing and rapid prototyping
Our CAD solutions are tailored to meet the specific demands of plastic production—taking into account wall thickness, draft angles, undercuts, and tooling considerations.
We use SolidWorks, a world-class CAD platform known for its precision and powerful modelling tools, to deliver every design. All of our engineers are Certified SolidWorks Professionals (CSWP), ensuring every project meets the highest standards of accuracy, performance, and best practices in plastic part design.
Whether it’s complex surface modelling or assemblies ready for manufacturing, our team leverages advanced SolidWorks capabilities to streamline your product development process.
We provide a full range of CAD services, including:
3D Modelling – High-detail 3D CAD models ready for prototyping and production
2D Technical Drawings – Fully annotated drawings for tooling and manufacture
Design for Manufacture (DFM) – Optimising parts for moulding processes and cost-efficiency
Reverse Engineering – Recreating accurate CAD files from physical components
File Conversion & Compatibility – Support for industry-standard file formats (STEP, IGES, STL, DWG)
We work closely with you to understand your product goals, functional requirements, and production constraints—delivering CAD designs that reduce lead times and avoid costly revisions.
✅ Industry Experience – Specialised in plastic product development and mould-ready designs
✅ Precision & Quality – Accurate, reliable CAD files suitable for tooling and production
✅ Fast Turnaround – Responsive service with quick delivery of design files
✅ Collaborative Approach – We work as an extension of your team, from concept to completion
See examples of our work on our portfolio page.
Whether you’re starting with a sketch, an existing part, or just a product idea, we can support you at every stage:
Concept Development
