So...what is theCADcube all about? Where did the idea come from, and where is it going?
Our aim is to see theCADcube become an essential tool for architects, interior designers and other design professionals. A resource that they turn to on a regular basis for each and every project. There are quite a few big steps to make on the way to achieving this, but we are up for the challenge.
The idea came about as university students, studying Architecture Technology. We were frustrated with the lack of tools to speed up the 3D modeling process. The choice between spending hours creating bits of furniture and accessories or inserting the same 12 generic objects from the CAD library 5 times each was not a good one. It doesn't matter what angle you insert it, nobody wants a king size bed in their kitchen!

So we set about creating a library of 3D CAD models that can be easily downloaded and inserted straight into a CAD drawing. But decided that rather than just providing generic content, wouldn't it be cool if you could use actual real life products from real life manufacturers.
This was of no real benefit to a student, but to a professional, working on a live project requiring real life solutions, this could be pretty useful. It then became obvious that this was also a great way for manufacturers to promote their products. And not just promote them to the general world wide web, but to a highly targeted market.
So theCADcube was born...
There have been many challenges to get to the stage we are now, but probably our toughest task to date has been convincing manufacturers that printed catalogues and the odd technical drawing no longer cut the mustard. We live in a digital world and the majority of designers now work in 3D.

So far we have had mixed success and although we have some great companies and products online, we want much more. We believe that all manufacturers and suppliers within the interiors, building and design industries should make their products as accessible and easy to specify as possible, which includes supplying 3D models of their products.
On our mission to make this happen, we have a cunning plan...which we will announce next week!
