Our company’s story began in 2010 in Calgary, Canada with co-founders MacKenzie Brown & Mikeal Abramoff.

Cad Crowd is a leading marketplace for CAD drafting services, CAD design, 3D modeling, contract manufacturing and patent services. We offer an online platform that helps clients connect with the product development and design services they need to bring their project to market.

We work with builders, fabricators, manufacturers, engineering companies and inventors, allowing them to access the professional services they need to successfully meet their deadlines. Our comprehensive set of services allows clients to leverage freelance talent on a part-time basis or to develop long-term relationships with designers, drafters, and 3D animators.
