CAD Portfolio Acquisition
Your design archive is an asset.
We'd like to buy it.
We buy CAD portfolios from engineering firms, product companies, and design consultancies — the parts, assemblies, and drawings sitting in your archive from completed work. Five-minute intake, written offer, payment on transfer.
Confidential review · NDA available on request · No obligation
Why Sell
Completed projects shouldn't just sit on a server.
Dormant assets, real revenue
Files from delivered projects rarely get opened again. We pay for portfolios that meet our quality and ownership criteria.
Sell it — or just license it
Most sellers license copies and keep every right they hold today, including continued use with their own clients.
Confidential throughout
Mutual NDA on request, ownership verification, secure audited transfer. Your client relationships stay protected.
What We Acquire
Real engineering, at portfolio scale.
Our clients build next-generation engineering, simulation, and design-automation software — and need authentic, professionally produced CAD data at scale. We acquire it on their behalf.
Formats
Especially valuable
- Native files with full parametric feature history
- Assemblies with mates, constraints, and BOMs
- Drawings with GD&T / PMI annotations
- Consistent naming, materials, and metadata
- Design-iteration series (revisions of the same part)
Sectors
- Industrial machinery & automation
- Consumer and commercial products
- Automotive & mobility components
- Tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing aids
- Architecture, plant & piping
- Electronics enclosures & electromechanical
What we do not accept
- Files you don't hold the rights to sell or license
- ITAR / export-controlled or classified designs
- Data under active client confidentiality obligations
- Scraped, downloaded, or third-party marketplace content

Valuation
Fidelity sets the rate.
Offers are priced per portfolio. Format fidelity sets the per-file rate; volume and sector coverage scale it.
Two ways to sell.
Non-exclusive license Most common
- We license copies; you keep every right you hold today
- Keep using the files in your own client work
- Fastest path to close
Full exclusive transfer
- Ownership transfers to us entirely
- Commands a premium over licensing
- Suited to retired product lines and wind-downs
FAQ
Questions we hear often.
Who ends up using the files?
Established research organizations and technology companies building advanced engineering software — simulation, generative design, design automation. Files are used internally under license, never resold on public marketplaces or redistributed as individual models.
What about client NDAs on past projects?
Work produced under agreements that restrict reuse isn't eligible — our intake screens for it. What firms typically sell is self-originated: internal R&D, standard components, tooling, and projects where the IP reverted to the firm.
Is my submission confidential?
Yes. Intake information stays within our acquisitions team, and a mutual NDA is in place before any sample exchange.
We're a large firm with governance requirements. Can you work with that?
Yes. We regularly work through procurement, legal review, and information-security questionnaires, and adapt transfer mechanics to your infrastructure.
