Client feedback
Engineering offices and industry share their experience with JDS Sommer's CAD digitalisation and scan service.
“We have tried the JDS CAD digitization. In the beginning, we were very sceptical because we had had some negative experiences with a competitive provider. The results of the JDS CAD digitization really convinced us! We would already have saved a lot of time and money had we known of JDS SOMMER GmbH earlier. We can recommend JDS CAD digitization to all CAD users who desire nearly completely exact and complete conversions of existing plans and details into CAD files for very favourable prices!”
“We became aware of JDS SOMMER GmbH through a promotional letter and tried the JDS CAD digitization on a construction project. We were amazed! The files we got back resulted in drawings we could immediately edit and plot without any need for corrections.”
“…no member of our team would want to miss our digital archive at work. Digital archiving turns out with us ever more as a full success. The time necessary to access old drawings has been drastically reduced and there are practically no more external costs, like copying etc. That certainly is also due to the outstanding quality of the work performed by the JDS SOMMER team. I will gladly recommend your company also with business partners and friends…”

Our two core services are 2D CAD digitalisation of plans, drawings and scans, and 3D modelling: Scan to BIM for buildings and industrial structures, and 3D CAD models of machine parts. We also offer GIS digitising and FM as-built drawings. Pages for these will follow on the new website.
Call us or send us your enquiry. We advise you free of charge and prepare an individual offer based on the number and type of your originals. As a guide: 2D CAD digitalisation starts at €49 per A0 drawing and 3D modelling of a machine part at €250, plus VAT.
Yes. We audit a sample of your drawings or data and can create a sample CAD file from a section of your plan, free of charge and without any obligation.
Original drawings can be sent by mail, and we return them free of charge after the project. Scans and digital data can be sent by email. For large volumes, get in touch and we will arrange the best way to transfer your files.
