About Ferrum Artem

Ferrum Artem LLC was built on three decades of hands-on manufacturing and drafting experience — the kind that only comes from working the floor, not just reading the textbook. We draft for people who build real things and need files that actually work.
Our Story

Built By SomeoneWho's Been On The Floor

Ferrum Artem didn’t start with a business plan. It started with 30 years of knowing exactly what a fabricator needs when he opens a drawing package — and what makes him stop production to call the engineer back.

Our founder trained in mechanical drafting design at trade school before spending decades inside manufacturing environments, learning not just how to draw parts, but how parts are actually made. That distinction matters more than most clients realize — a drafter who has never touched a plasma cutter draws differently than one who has.

Ferrum Artem LLC was founded to bring that level of manufacturing-informed drafting to small and mid-size businesses — fabricators, architects, product companies, and builders who need professional CAD work without the overhead of an in-house engineering team.

We work remotely and serve clients nationally, but our roots are in the Denver Metro area — the fabrication shops, custom steel contractors, and architecture firms along the Front Range and up into the mountains.

"A drafter who's never been on a shop floor draws differently than one who has."

How We Work

The StandardsWe Don't Compromise On

Buildable by Default
Every drawing we produce is checked against real manufacturing constraints — not just design intent. If a fabricator can't build it from our files, we haven't done our job.
Transparent Quoting
Fixed or hourly — agreed before we start. No scope creep surprises, no vague estimates. You know what you're paying before we touch a file.
Fast Without Cutting Corners
Rush delivery in 24–48 hours is available because we're efficient — not because we skip steps. Speed comes from experience, not from ignoring detail.
Your Format, Your Workflow
We adapt to how you work — not the other way around. DWG, DXF, STEP, PDF, Revit, ArchiCAD — whatever your shop or software requires, we deliver that.
More Than a Drafter
For steel and architectural projects, we go beyond the drawings — sourcing fabricator quotes, comparing pricing, and overseeing installation when needed. One call handles it all.
Revisions Until It's Right
We don't close a project until the files work. Revisions are part of the process — not an upsell. If feedback comes back, we address it.
Software & Capabilities

The ToolsBehind the Work

We work in the software your project requires — not the software we happen to own. With 30+ years of manufacturing experience, we’ve developed fluency across the full spectrum of CAD and BIM platforms used in fabrication, architecture, and product design.

Our primary platform is AutoDesk Inventor for 3D mechanical modeling and manufacturing drawings. For architectural and BIM work, we use AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, and Vectorworks depending on what your team or jurisdiction requires.

All file delivery formats are negotiated upfront — native files, neutral formats (STEP, IGES, DXF), or PDF packages. We don’t charge extra to export to the format you need.

  • Where We Work

    Based in the Denver Metro area. All project files are delivered digitally — which means we work with clients nationally just as easily as locally. If you can email files, we can work together.
