The first VanCAD release

Welcome to VanCAD! Plan your camper-van conversion in 3D - start from a base van, then place, resize and arrange furniture, appliances, and your electrical and plumbing systems to design your perfect layout. Here’s what you can do from day one:

  • A parametric van library - Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Renault Master and VW Crafter
  • A catalogue of furniture, appliances, electrical and plumbing components to drop in and customise
  • A custom-object builder for the parts you can’t find off the shelf
  • A live bill of materials, running cost, and a total of the weight you’re adding
  • Save your designs to the cloud and pick them up on any device with VanCAD Pro

This is just the beginning - lots more exciting features are on the way. Thanks for being here at the start!
