Our CAD Retainer Service

A common challenge for Manufacturing Firms

If you work in manufacturing or product development, you’ll know how quickly project demands can change. One month, your CAD team is managing steady workloads, the next you’re juggling urgent design updates, new product iterations and tight production deadlines.

That’s where the A4 Plus CAD Retainer Service can make all the difference. By giving you flexible, on-demand access to our experienced design engineers whenever you need them.

What is a CAD Retainer Service?

In simple terms, a CAD retainer is like having your own design team on standby, without the fixed costs of full-time staff. You choose a package of hours to suit your business, and we guarantee access to our engineers for whatever you need, whether that’s:

• Creating new 3D models
• Updating existing drawings
• Producing manufacturing drawings & documentation
• Generating high-quality visualisations

We work with SolidWorks, Inventor and AutoCAD and also offer 3D scanning and printing to support every stage of your design process.

Why Choose a Retainer Over Ad-Hoc Support?

Many businesses approach us when project workloads spike. While ad-hoc work can be effective for short bursts, a retainer gives you far more stability and predictability.

Here’s what you gain:

• Priority access to our skilled CAD & design engineers
• Flexible monthly hours, with transparent pricing, to smooth out costs
• ISO 9001-compliant outputs that are accurate and consistent
• Scalable design capacity to manage those peaks in demand
• A dedicated account contact and responsive support

In short, it’s your assurance that help is always available when you need it most.

Ready When You Are

Whether you’re managing seasonal peaks or maintaining continuity during busy periods, our CAD Retainer Service gives you the flexibility and reliability you need, without the overheads of permanent staff.
