CadShot Vision

Photo Digitizing for Large Patterns

If you have large patterns, the Vision Module can be mounted over a table and calibrated for accuracy. This allows you to use your existing work table or even your automated cutting table, using weights or vacuum to hold patterns flat during the digitizing process.

Features

Great features. Easy and intuitive to use.

CadShot works seamlessly with PatternSmith, or import the generated patterns into your own patterning software.
