Cadwork Api Direct

The Cadwork API transforms the software from a traditional drafting tool into a fully customizable engine for digital fabrication. By automating routine modeling, ensuring geometric consistency, and streamlining the flow of data to CNC machinery, engineering firms can dramatically cut down project lead times and eliminate costly manual drafting errors on the shop floor.

To ensure your scripts are robust and maintainable, follow these guidelines:
