OUR CLIENTS

Trusted by CAD users worldwide

A middle-aged man with glasses and a goatee wearing a blue shirt, photographed in a dimly lit indoor setting.

"It is a credo that drives us towards producing strong products... BricsCAD is a part of that, as we use the program for the 2D design of our factories’ assembly lines and equipment."

Shinya, Assistant Manager. Mazda, Japan

Various MAPAL precision cutting tools and tool holders displayed on a metal workpiece platform.

"I started searching for DWG-supporting systems... BricsCAD had the best support on handling the LISP files that we had. We had a big bunch of LISP applications to create our tools and so the decision went to BricsCAD."

Marcus, CAD/CAM Development. MAPAL, Germany

A man wearing glasses and a blue polo shirt sits in front of a painting depicting a horse and cart scene.

"With BricsCAD's powerful features and affordability, we estimate we've cut our construction design costs by 50%."

Juan, Director. Tecinci, Paraguay

Large black industrial turbine or pump machine on display indoors, with a placard beside it on a red platform.

"First of all, I can say that BricsCAD's software is an indisputable replacement for our existing 2D CAD software. We have not experienced any major problems with usability since its introduction."

Makoto, ICM Division. EBARA Corporation, Japan

A man with crossed arms stands in front of an Alsina building with a pink facade and glass entrance.

"BricsCAD helps us maintain high-quality service and productivity while optimizing costs. It provides the stable, reliable platform we need for our in-house AlsiCAD plugin."
