Adapt your CAD to your processes – not the other way round!
Standard CAD systems offer many functions, but are rarely perfectly customised to individual processes. This requires unnecessary clicks, long processing times and generates high costs.
Customised CAD automation solutions from Klietsch reduce complex processes to a minimum – from small tools to comprehensive industry solutions.
Users benefit from fewer clicks, shorter design times and a familiar working environment.
Decision-makers benefit from greater efficiency, lower process costs and greater competitiveness.
We will show you specific practical examples below:
We have been developing intelligent CAD extensions for all leading systems for decades, for example for:
SOLIDWORKS
Autodesk Inventor
PTC Creo Elements Direct
PTC Creo Parametric
Siemens NX
Our solutions go far beyond classic plug-ins:
Automatic weld seam preparation
Individual steel construction dialogues
Automated heat exchanger designs
Special solutions for the food industry
Special solutions for containers, special constructions, etc.

The CAD world continues to evolve – and we have long been one step ahead:
Cloud-based configurators enable product configurations regardless of location and time.
AI-supported automation recognises identical installation situations in steel construction, for example, and automatically adds suitable connections.
Seamless integration of calculation, CAD modelling and production data saves time and reduces errors.
For decision-makers
Reduce process costs
Increase productivity
Future-proof through cloud & AI
For users
Fewer clicks, more efficiency
Work in a familiar CAD environment
Error reduction through automation

CAD automation is the reduction of manual design steps through intelligent software solutions. Instead of manually performing hundreds of clicks for exports, unfolding or recurring components, the software performs these tasks automatically. This saves time, costs and minimises sources of error - without users having to leave their familiar CAD environment.
For decision-makers, CAD automation primarily means economic efficiency: lower process costs, less rework, shorter lead times and sustainable use of master data. Automation also increases competitiveness, as projects can be completed more quickly and new business models (e.g. online configurators) can be implemented.
Users save themselves monotonous and error-prone clicking work, for example when exporting STEP or DXF files, when processing sheet metal parts or by automatically recognising identical parts. They continue to work in their familiar CAD environment, do not have to learn new systems and have more time for creative and value-adding tasks.
The costs depend heavily on the scope: smaller macro-programming projects start at less than 1,000 euros.
More complex industry solutions, which are developed over several months, are correspondingly more expensive.
The important thing is that both options save you time, costs and resources in the long term – so the investment pays off quickly.
And best of all: initial discussions and a non-binding assessment are of course free of charge.
Our customers face the same challenges every day:
complex click sequences, redundant tasks, high time pressure and rising costs. These problems can be systematically solved with customised CAD automation solutions.
Using specific use cases, we will show you how users can save time and how decision-makers can immediately achieve measurable efficiency gains.
The initial situation:
A customer in contract manufacturing uses a tube laser. The control software requires STEP files for each component. Traditionally, this means opening the assembly, selecting each tube individually, exporting and naming them – sometimes several hundred times per project.
Errors such as duplicate or missing files are inevitable.
The automated solution:
One click instead of hundreds of steps
Automatic detection of all relevant pipes in the assembly
Export of all STEP files to a defined folder
Intelligent naming according to your rules (e.g. material, diameter, wall thickness, etc.)
Optional: fully automatic export in the background with publish in PDM/PLM possible
Added value:
For decision-makers: process costs are drastically reduced, throughput times are shortened and work preparation is relieved
For users: no tedious clicking, no risk of errors or duplication of work
The problem:
Designers often create simple parts (tabs, brackets, etc.) from scratch – even if they are identical. In PDM/PLM, these are saved as different parts and assigned their own article numbers.
→ Costs per part system in ERP depending on complexity: up to €2,000.
The automated solution:
Geometric identical part recognition compares the 3D geometry of all parts, not just names or dimensions
Identical parts are automatically recognised and merged
Only one part is saved instead of multiple parts in the PDM/PLM
Added value:
For decision-makers: significant cost reduction in purchasing, production, warehousing and master data maintenance
For users: clean parts lists, no manual comparison, less administrative effort
Problem:
A DXF unfolding is required for the production of sheet metal parts. Traditionally, this means: open component, create unfolding, start export, manually define projection surfaces and contours, save file. This process is repeated for each part.
The automated solution:
Automatic DXF export for all sheet metal parts in an assembly
Selection of projection surfaces, bending lines and contour colours according to defined rules
One push of a button instead of countless manual work steps
Added value:
For decision-makers: considerable time and cost savings in the creation of production data
For users: consistent DXF files without sources of error, less monotonous clicking work
Example A - Hall configurator:
Input of length, width, height, roof pitch, profile types, etc. → The complete structure is automatically built in CAD. Including static calculation and automatic adjustment of dimensions.
Example B - Pressure vessel configurator on the web:
Customers configure online including 3D preview and quotation. CAD models and production data are generated fully automatically after the order is placed.
Added value:
For decision-makers: new business models (e.g. online offers), shorter offer cycles, less design effort
For users: no manual modelling, CAD models are created automatically from parameters
Many customers use our standard add-ins and want customised extensions for everyday use.
Examples:
SolidSteel → additional connection variants
PipeBending Assistant → intelligent P&ID coupling
DSTV Assistant → Adaptation of exports for non-standard-compliant production machines
Added value:
For decision-makers: existing investments are flexibly expanded without new acquisitions
For users: immediate added value through small adjustments in the familiar tool
The examples show: CAD automation means less effort, lower costs and greater process reliability – for decision-makers and users alike.
