Cad Design Services Ireland
Leaders in CAD Design Services in Ireland for Precision Engineering
Prenco Manufacturing Ltd has worked at the intersection of design and manufacture since 1976. Our CAD design service in Ireland grew out of a manufacturing floor, not a drawing office alone. That distinction shapes every model we produce.
We are based in Skibbereen, West Cork. From here, our design and engineering team supports clients across automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical device sectors, alongside general precision manufacturing. Every CAD project we take on is built with one question in mind: will this design manufacture cleanly the first time?
A CAD Design Company Rooted in Manufacturing
Many CAD providers draw components they will never see made. Prenco is different. Our design engineers sit alongside the precision turning, pressing, and assembly teams who will build the part. That proximity changes how a drawing gets made.
As a trusted CAD design company in Ireland, we have a long history behind this approach. Prenco began life as part of a German precision engineering group, later operating under Bosch Rexroth ownership, before a management buyout in 2005 made us an independent Irish company. That heritage left us with exacting standards for tolerance, finish, and repeatability—the very standards we apply to every CAD file leaving our office, not only to parts on our own shop floor.
What Our CAD Services in Ireland Covers
Prenco Manufacturing Ltd. provides full-service CAD modelling, reverse engineering, and prototyping for a wide range of design specifications and industry standards. Whether you are designing a single component or large-scale, complex mechanisms, we extend reliable support throughout the research and development phases.
From CAD File to Finished Component: Everything Under One Roof
As a leading manufacturer of precision turned parts, pressed components and full assemblies in-house, we ensure our CAD services do not end at a finished drawing. Our team can move directly into turning, pressing or quality control, without handover delays or the version-control problems that come from working across separate suppliers.
This matters most on tight-tolerance or high-volume work, where a small design oversight becomes an expensive tooling problem. Our engineers have seen that failure mode from the manufacturing side often enough to design it out early.
Who We Work With
Our CAD design clients range from automotive and aerospace suppliers to electronics and medical device manufacturers, alongside general engineering firms across Ireland. Some come to us with a finished concept needing manufacture-ready drawings. Others arrive with only a rough sketch or an ageing paper print from a supplier who no longer trades. We work with both.
Why Manufacturers Choose Prenco for CAD Design
Ireland has no shortage of CAD drafting providers. Fewer combine that drafting capability with in-house precision turning, pressing and assembly under one Irish-owned roof, and fewer still can trace that combination back through decades of manufacturing practice. Clients who need a design partner that understands the realities of a production line, not just the geometry of a drawing, tend to stay with us for repeat work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you convert old paper drawings or damaged prints into usable CAD files?
Yes. We regularly rebuild designs from paper drawings, faded prints or superseded formats where the original supplier or file no longer exists. We correct inconsistencies found in the original as part of that process, rather than simply tracing over them.
What file formats can you deliver, and will they work with our existing systems?
We typically deliver DXF, DWG, STEP, IGS, SCDOC or PDF files, built using ANSYS SpaceClaim. Tell us which format your machining, tooling or engineering software requires, and we will match it.
Will you review a design we already have before we commit to manufacturing it?
Yes. We offer design reviews focused on manufacturability, checking tolerances, material selection and geometry against what we know works on a real production line, not just on paper.
Do you protect the confidentiality of new or unreleased product designs?
Client confidentiality is standard practice for us. We work on unreleased products regularly and are happy to formalise this with an NDA before any design work begins.
Can CAD services support custom manufacturing projects?
Our design and manufacturing teams work under one roof; we can turn around revisions quickly, without waiting on a separate drafting supplier. Contact us directly with your timeline, and we will confirm what is realistic before we start.
