01 / Why Vecaria

Engineering files are heavy, private and varied. The workflow should respect all three.

Privacy by default

Local tools run entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. The file never leaves your machine, so client work and confidential drawings stay confidential.

Every format in one place

2D drawings, 3D models, BIM, point clouds, GIS, PCB, CAM and PDF share one catalog. Pick the input and output, and the right converter opens.

Batch and automate

Queue dozens of files in one job, chain steps in a workflow, or call the REST API from your own pipeline. Repetition is the machine's job.

04 / Optimize

Smaller files, identical geometry

Decimate oversized meshes and clean up drawings before you send them downstream. Tune the tolerance, weld stray vertices and export a lighter file that still reads the same in CAD and slicers.

Simplification presets for STL, OBJ, 3MF and GLB meshes.
Polyline node reduction for DXF drawings.
Size and triangle counts before you commit.

05 / Automate

Chain steps once, then let it run

Build a pipeline from the same operations you use by hand, then trigger it from the dashboard or your own code. Every step keeps the local-first default where it can.

Common questions

Are my files uploaded?

For local tools, no. Conversion and editing run in your browser with WebAssembly, so files stay on your device. Cloud tools upload only when you choose them, and results auto-delete on expiry.

Which formats are supported?

DXF, STEP/IGES, STL/3MF, OBJ/GLB, IFC/BIM, LAS/LAZ point clouds, GeoJSON/Shapefile/KML, Gerber, G-code and PDF, across 136 tools.

Do I need an account?

No. Local tools work without signup on a daily free quota. Creating an account raises the quota and unlocks cloud processing.

What does Pro add?

Larger files, batch jobs, more cloud credits, Workflow automation and API access. The pricing page has the full comparison.

Can I automate conversions?

Yes. Submit a batch for many files at once, or use the workflow builder and REST API to chain steps into repeatable pipelines.
