About Us

CADNeed is the brand of CN Enterprises (SMC) Pvt. Ltd., a mechanical CAD design and drafting company based in Taxila, Pakistan. We turn sketches, specifications and old drawings into accurate 3D models and shop-ready fabrication drawings – made by people who understand how equipment is actually built.

Our story

CADNeed was founded in 2024 by Tassawar Ali. His career started on the shop floor in 2000 as a fabricator at Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC), Taxila, one of Pakistan’s largest heavy engineering manufacturers.

He then spent more than 20 years (2003–2024) in HMC’s drawing office as a mechanical draftsman, producing fabrication, machining and piping isometric drawings for heavy industrial and process plant equipment for cement, chemical and process plants.

Today he leads a team of CAD designers and draftsmen who bring that same shop-floor experience to manufacturers, fabricators and EPC contractors in Pakistan and abroad.
