Stop redrawing parts by hand. Turn a photo, sketch, scan or PDF into a file you can cut, mill or print. Get an editable DXF and true-scale SVG. Preview unlimited conversions for free. Bevell Sketchpad now in beta.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Natalie, an engineer who got tired of text-to-CAD.
They all make up geometry. I wanted the opposite: trace what's really there, and use AI only where it helps.
Upload a photo, sketch, scan or PDF and get an editable DXF and SVG you can cut, mill or print. Converting is free, so try as many as you like.
I started with building scan-to-CAD, but 2D worked first, so I'm launching that. Bevell Sketchpad is in beta, and 3D is next.
Please break it. That's how Bevell improves.
Keep building,
Natalie
Seems useful can I export for cnc as well??
@joonsang_lee Yep! DXF or SVG exports for CNC :)
@natal1e_c alphaaaa
How much cleanup is usually needed before sending the file to a CNC machine?
@new_user___209202627e87af67bf41b28 Hey Rohit! It depends on the input.
A clean scan, drawing or PDF using Direct Trace, or a photo of a part on a plain background using Outline Only, usually needs little to no cleanup.
For lower-quality inputs, such as photos with noisy or busy backgrounds, Bevell will route you to AI Redraw. This redraws the part rather than measuring it directly, so I'd recommend double-checking any critical dimensions.
Either way, always give the output a quick look in your CAM before you manufacture.
