25+ Years Experience Per Engineer | 200+ Projects Delivered | Onshape, Rhino and SolidWorks | Production-Ready Drawings | NZ, AU and USA
Your in-house CAD team. Without the overhead.
Production-Ready CAD. Built by Engineers Who Understand Manufacturing.
Senior CAD engineers with 25+ years of manufacturing experience each. Project support and retainer arrangements across NZ, Australia, and the USA. Most CAD bottlenecks come down to the same problem. No in-house capability, or not enough of it. A key person left. A project landed and your team is already at capacity. Or drawings came back from the factory wrong and you need someone who actually understands manufacturing to fix them.
You do not need another freelancer who treats CAD as a software exercise. You need a team of senior engineers who have spent decades designing for real-world manufacture. People who know what happens when a drawing hits the factory floor and what it takes to get it right first time. That is what Pro-Dev delivers. Whether you are looking to outsource CAD in New Zealand or need ongoing retainer support, we fit into your workflow, your software environment, and your standards without friction. Serving clients across New Zealand, Australia, and the United States.

Platform Experts. Cross-Platform Ready.
Our team specialises in Onshape, one of the most capable and collaborative CAD platforms available today. Cloud-based, real-time, and built for professional product development, Onshape is at the core of how we work. We also have strong capability in SolidWorks for clients and projects where it is the preferred platform.
Modern CAD makes cross-platform collaboration straightforward. Files move cleanly between Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Rhino, Creo and other platforms without loss of data or precision. So regardless of what your team or your manufacturer uses, handover is seamless and compatibility is never a problem.
You get the benefit of deep CAD expertise combined with the flexibility of a team that fits into your existing workflow without friction.
Whatever platform we work in, your output files are delivered in standard interchange formats including STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, DWG, and PDF. These open cleanly in any CAD software your team or manufacturer uses. No platform changes needed on your end.

Why A CAD Retainer Makes Sense
For manufacturers, engineering firms, and product companies with ongoing CAD needs, a retainer arrangement is significantly more efficient than managing project-by-project work.
With a retainer you have a dedicated CAD resource available when you need it, without the overhead of a full-time hire, the inconsistency of freelancers, or the delays of scoping individual projects every time work comes in. We are already familiar with your products, your standards, and your workflow, so every piece of work is faster and more accurate than starting fresh each time.
Retainer clients also get priority turnaround. When something is urgent, you are not waiting in a queue.
Who Is This For
Manufacturers
If you are a manufacturer who needs production drawings but does not have a full-time CAD person on staff, we can fill that gap without the cost or commitment of a hire.
Engineering Firms
If you are an engineering firm with more CAD work than your team can handle, we work as an extension of your team, matching your standards and turnaround expectations.
Product Companies
If you are a product company that needs CAD support for a specific project, a product update, or an ongoing pipeline of work, we can structure an arrangement that fits.
Global Clients
If you are an engineering firm or product company in Australia or the USA looking for CAD outsourcing support, we work as a direct extension of your team, delivering production-ready output to your standards regardless of your location.

What Sets Us Apart
25+ years of manufacturing experience per engineer
Your drawings are reviewed by senior engineers who have spent decades on factory floors. Every dimension, every tolerance, every specification is set with manufacture in mind. Not reviewed by a junior. Not produced by a single operator working alone.
Your drawings are peer reviewed, not produced by one person working alone
With over 80 years of combined engineering and manufacturing experience across our team, your work is not produced in isolation. Senior engineers review each other's output. If something is wrong or could be better, it gets caught before it reaches you. You get the benefit of a full team's experience on every job, not just one person's.
Drawings that work on the factory floor, not just on screen
Your drawings come back production-ready from the first version. Your manufacturer can work from them immediately without coming back with questions, corrections, or clarifications. Fewer rounds. Faster delivery.
One team. One standard. Every project.
You get the same team on every job. They learn your products, your standards, and your workflow. Every project builds on the last. No briefing someone new. No inconsistency between jobs.
Output files your team and manufacturer can use immediately
Your files are delivered in standard interchange formats including STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, DWG, and PDF. They open cleanly in any CAD software your team or manufacturer uses. No platform changes on your end.
Retainer clients get priority turnaround
When something is urgent, your job does not sit in a queue. We already know your products and standards so every job is faster and more accurate than starting from scratch.
Everything delivered in a structured specification folder
Your deliverable is not a zip file of drawings. It is a structured specification folder containing all part drawings, sub-assemblies, top-level assemblies, and BOM in a logical, navigable PDF package. Anyone in your business can open it and understand what they are looking at. Hard copy available on request.
Engineering judgement, not just execution
If your brief has an ambiguity or a manufacturability issue, we flag it before it becomes a drawing. You find out before the factory does. Not after.
Senior CAD support across three markets
Your location and time zone are not a barrier. We deliver on time regardless of where you are based. Remote collaboration is completely straightforward.
I never knew CAD work could deliver this level of detail. The BOM alone has become a tool we use across multiple departments, not just engineering. And as a business owner who does not use CAD software myself, the specification folder Pro-Dev delivers gives me a clear top-level understanding of every part, sub-assembly, top assembly, and fastener in the product. That visibility has changed how we operate.
