Workstation
Computers Built for Engineering Software

Utilized by architects, engineers, drafters and even some artists, CAD Software is used to create precision drawings, technical illustrations and 3D product renderings. These tend to be power-hungry programs that need to account for a lot of information; materials, processes, scalable dimensions and engineering tolerances that will be utilized in the final product. CAD Software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and Solidworks benefit more from higher operating frequencies, rather than thread count. Allocate more of your CAD Workstation budget into an NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, which is recommended by AutoDesk guidelines. Most modeling software utilize similar processes, so the configurations may be similar. Contact our sales team with your preferred CAD software and projects, and we’ll help you tune your workstation PC to best suite your needs and budget.

Want a PC capable of creating VR CAD or VR Design? You won’t be able to cut costs on much. You’ll need a powerful processor, as well as a high performance graphics card capable of running multiple displays (one for each eye on the VR headset and main displays). Recommended VR Ready PC specs from HTC Vive and Oculus suggest 16GB of RAM, if your projects typically include complicated 3D renderings and models, we’d suggest 32GB at minimum. AVADirect is an authorized HTC Vive retailer. Our sales team has extensive experience in creating portable VR PCs, as well. 3D Files tend to be data heavy, so you’ll need plenty of storage space in your VR Design PC.
