cadwork is a computer aided design software, created in 1980 by the CSEM, and followed in 1982 by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), before it came a Swiss society in 1988 (Cadwork informatik).
In the origin, cadwork was developed for the watch industry, but it is now mainly used by the building and construction market:
- Civil Engineering
- Carpentry
- Topographic
- Road building (EasyRoad)
- Architecture
- Armed concrete
- Glue laminated timber
- Stairs
The different modules in the suite enable one to draw, to design (CAD) or to manufacture (CAM).
cadwork files have the following extensions :
- .2d, .2dc (2 dimensions drawing)
- .3d, .3dc (3 dimensions design)
- .2dr (road projects)
- .2dv (parametric elements).
These files can be viewed with the free software. The free version allows zooming, panning and printing but not modifying the drawings.
