30 Years Evolution: CA3D-ISO to PiCAD®

A Journey Through Piping Engineering

When the first lines of code for CA3D-ISO were written in 1996, digital plant design was in its infancy. While others were still struggling with manual drafting, we were already setting the stage for full automation in piping isometrics. For three decades, we have not only followed the evolution of CAD platforms like BricsCAD and progeCAD – we have actively shaped it.

Today, we look back on a legacy defined by technological change and the continuous optimization of complex algorithms. Our LISP-based core logic has been polished through 30 years of field experience, refined to meet the extreme demands of global industries. From chemical plants to power generation – wherever isometrics are the backbone of construction, our expertise is at home.

1996 - The Foundation The Birth of CA3D-ISO
Launching the first automated isometric generation. A milestone for engineering firms prioritizing efficiency over simple drafting.
2006 - Digital Integration Bill of Materials & ERP Ready
Evolving from a drafting tool to a data hub. Introducing automatic weld logs and direct interfaces for material management.
2026 - The PiCAD® Era PiCAD®: The Best of 30 Years
