Founded in Sydney, Australia in the early 1980s, CAD International has evolved into a leading developer and supplier of advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software, hardware and professional services. With more than four decades of continuous industry involvement, the company combines proven experience with ongoing technological innovation to deliver high-performance solutions for modern design professionals.

Originally established as the CAD division of Davron Diazo Products Pty Ltd, the company expanded in 1992 under the name CAD Australia Pty Limited. Initially focused on the distribution and support of industry-leading third-party technologies — including AutoCAD, MicroStation, Solid Edge, SketchUp and Rhino 3D — the company quickly established itself as an innovator in its own right through the development of proprietary CAD platforms including Caddsman and later, RealCAD.

Today, RealCAD forms the technological foundation for a growing suite of specialised applications used throughout the world, and across a wide range of industries. Engineered to support highly diverse design workflows, the RealCAD platform enables scalable solutions for technical drafting, conceptual design, manufacturing, visualisation and documentation environments.

CAD International software is recognised for delivering exceptional performance, efficient workflows and highly configurable environments designed to maximise productivity while reducing workflow complexity. Unlike many large multinational software vendors, CAD International maintains close relationships with its users, enabling rapid innovation, responsive support and highly specialised industry solutions tailored to real-world requirements.

Many product innovations are developed directly in response to feedback from designers, consultants and industry professionals, ensuring that the company’s technologies remain practical, adaptable and closely aligned with evolving industry needs. In addition to commercial software products, CAD International also develops customised solutions designed to address specialised client requirements and industry-specific workflows.

The company serves clients ranging from multinational corporations and professional design practices to independent designers, educators, students and hobbyists. Its technologies are applied across disciplines including landscape design, architecture, arboriculture, machinery and product development, furniture and interior design, transport, space optimisation and aerospace.

As artificial intelligence reshapes the future of digital design, CAD International is strategically positioned at the forefront of next-generation CAD development. The company is actively integrating advanced AI technologies to assist with intelligent drafting, design automation, workflow optimisation and enhanced user interaction across many of its product lines.

By combining decades of CAD expertise with emerging AI technologies, CAD International continues to shape the future of intelligent design software — delivering innovative solutions that challenge the limitations of traditional legacy CAD systems while empowering users to work more efficiently, creatively and intelligently.
