Working with us to make the dream work.
Democratising world-class design and manufacturing capabilities for Africa’s institutions and industries to innovate, educate, and build.
Generative CAD Services Limited (GCAD) is Africa’s premier product development and digital manufacturing partner. We exist to democratize access to world-class design, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities, bridging critical infrastructure and skills gaps to empower the continent’s innovators, educators, and industries. Through our end-to-end "idea-to-impact" workflow, we provide the localised technical foundation necessary for modern industrialisation and technical excellence.
Every institution and enterprise we partner with operates within a unique strategic context. We move beyond technical execution to begin with the "Why." Through rigorous discovery, stakeholder engagement, and deep needs analysis, we align our solutions with your specific mission, whether you are a startup refining a first-of-its-kind prototype, a corporation scaling high-volume production, or a university faculty cultivating the next generation of African engineers.
Our integrated methodology spans the entire product lifecycle, from conceptualisation and generative design to advanced simulation, validation, and on-demand manufacturing. As the official West African distributor for Flashforge and an authorised partner for SolidWorks (Dassault Systèmes), Autodesk, and Voltera, we blend global industry standards with hands-on execution. By integrating immersive technologies such as digital twins, VR-enabled design reviews, and automated PCB prototyping, we ensure that every project phase is intentional, efficient, and aligned with sustainable value.
Empowering the Ecosystem We go beyond providing tools; we build capacity. Through industry aligned training programs, turnkey digital manufacturing labs, and specialised corporate workshops, we equip organisations with the practical skills and infrastructure required to thrive in the global market. From primary schools to multinational corporations, our mission remains constant: providing the technical infrastructure for Africa’s institutions and industries to innovate, educate, and build.
We're always ready to move mountains just to come through for our clients.
The product was designed in a collaborative workflow, leveraging Autodesk Inventor (which was used in designing the sheet metal enclosure).
Fusion 360 (was used for the 3d printing optimisation and slicing, and the design of all the plastic parts for 3D printing).
Fusion Team and Fusion Manage Pro were used to manage the project collaboration task and the product lifecycle of the product respectively.
The product was designed with Autodesk Inventor Professional. Before manufacturing, it was validated and stress-simulated for critical components in Autodesk Inventor Nastran.
Software like Autodesk Inventor Tolerance Analysis and Autodesk Inventor Nesting was also used to boost the product's manufacturability.
The product development workflow is a typical example of Autodesk D&M product collection integration.

Don't only take our words for it, see what others have to say about us...
"It has been a wonderful experience taking part in the Generative CAD Product Development Program which has been full of practical industry insights, use cases and hands-on experience from design concepts, the use of professional CAD software, product design and development, design for additive manufacturing, etc. The program instructors are really good and patient. The training has significantly boosted my confidence in design and use of CAD software for the design projects in my organization, Dynalimb. I highly recommend the program and the company to anyone looking to start their journey or advance their skill in product design and development and related areas."

"It was a fascinating and beautiful learning experience for me. As a starter in engineering design, the Autodesk Fusion course allowed me to understand design principles from workflows, manufacturability, sustainability, and user experience. This has greatly increased my productivity as I can now be more creative with my designs."
Operations/Technical Engineer, Checkirem Nigeria Limited
"Thanks to the training and support from Generative CAD Services, the faculty is in the process of adopting and implementing Autodesk Fusion 360 into our learning curriculum to facilitate product design and digital manufacturing for our students."
