CADParts & Consulting provides value-added software sales and design services in the military and commercial design spaces. Don Beane, president of CADParts & Consulting LLC, said, "With the addition of CAD Design Software’s specialized layout tools, we now can offer our customers highly automated layout solutions for unique designs that have traditionally been highly manual operations.

Said Gordon Jensen, CAD Design Software’s vice president of sales and marketing, “We are continually working closely with numerous military and commercial customers and material suppliers to further automate the design process of leading edge technologies, which results in reduced design time while improving yields (DFM) for our customers. CADParts is well known in the industry as a top provider of design solutions and design services. We are happy to partner with CADParts to better help all of our customers achieve further reduction in time-to-market.”
