bracket_v12_final.step
Closest reusable custom part
STEP1
See it in 2 steps.
Index the folders once. Then search by what you remember.
01
Index your old folders once
Point CADCrawl at the client folders, archive exports, and project trees you already keep.
02
Search by what you remember
Type the part, customer, line, machine, or job context in plain English and open the closest old match.
Built for archive chaos, not library hygiene.
The sweet spot is custom one-offs buried in old freelance work, not managing neat catalogs of nearly identical parts.
Good for: messy freelance archives
Ten years of random client projects, exports, screenshots, and files named like final_final or bracket_v12_final.
Search by memory, not naming discipline
Look up old custom parts by photo, sketch, or plain English even when the folder structure stopped making sense years ago.
Bad for: clean part libraries
If you manage 500 SKUs of nearly identical parts in a proper PDM flow, this is not the product posture.
File types
Works with the scraps you actually still have.
• STEP
Reusable 3D models from past jobs.
• DXF
Flat patterns and shop-ready cut files.
• PDF drawings
Drawing packs, dimensions, and notes.
• STL
Meshes from print-ready or exported prototype work.
• 3MF
Modern print packages with richer fabrication metadata.
Privacy first
We do not store your files.
CADCrawl does not collect or keep any of your source files on our servers. Some derived data from your models may be processed by third-party AI services to power search, but CADCrawl itself does not store your files. We take your IP seriously.
Your original files stay yours
No STEP, DXF, PDF, STL, or 3MF archive is stored by CADCrawl.
Built to respect your IP
Search quality can use third-party AI on derived model data, but not as a permanent storage layer for your files.

FAQ
Who is CADCrawl for?
CAD freelancers, 3D designers, print farms, and small engineering teams with years of chaotic folders, vague filenames, and mixed project archives.
What files can I search?
CADCrawl focuses first on STEP, DXF, PDF, STL, and 3MF archives, plus the filename and folder context around them.
Do I need to rename or reorganize my folders first?
No. The point is to search the archive you already have.
Is this only for CAD teams?
No. It also fits messy 3D design and 3D printing workflows where reusable models, meshes, drawings, and exports are scattered across old jobs.
What is the main benefit?
Finding the right old file fast enough to reuse it before the redesign, remodel, or reprint starts.
Stop losing hours to folder archaeology.
