HandyCAD Mark II

CAD system built for real manufacturing workflows and everyday production use

Engineered for CNC production environments where accuracy, format compatibility, and production continuity are critical. It delivers a unified 2D CAD-to-production workflow that minimizes redraw loss and ensures reliable shop-floor execution without compromise.

Industry-leading compatibility with a wide range of file formats

HandyCAD Mark II provides over 20 standard direct format converters, supporting full-version DXF/DWG interoperability with high precision. It maintains layout structure and dimension integrity, and includes SXF, Adobe Illustrator (AI), and JW_CAD compatibility, with batch processing for bulk conversion and printing.

Precision-optimized efficiency at every input

Coordinate and element input can be performed simultaneously without mode switching, keeping the workflow continuous. Loop recognition enables one-click selection of closed regions. The Command Property system unifies all operations with parameter-level controls, making complex commands consistent and easy to use.

Maximum value from the moment of installation

HandyCAD Mark II includes the Advanced Command Suite, Fcomp Command (form comparison), and 3D Gate module (3D-to-2D conversion) as standard, providing immediate access to extended command libraries and geometry comparison from deployment. It delivers full 2D CAD/CAM capability with scalable configuration for standardized multi-site engineering workflows.

Comprehensive CAD to 2D CAM Integration

A high-performance CAD-to-2D CAM integration platform for unified machining workflows. Optimized for mold, plate, resin, and woodworking applications, it supports drilling, pocketing, engraving, router machining, and freeform contour processing with advanced UV surface-based toolpath generation for precise NC data creation.

Add-ons & Extensions

Expand Your Capabilities with Specialized Add-Ons

HandyCAD Mark II features an open add-on architecture that extends the core CAD platform into specialized manufacturing workflows, including Advanced Command, Fcomp Command, and 3D Gate for drawing management, as well as CAM modules for milling, wire EDM, lathe, and router operations. All add-ons integrate natively within the system without separate application launch.

Note: 3D Gate are available as optional add-ons with additional cost.
