Architects, engineers, and contractors continue to lose hours every week by redrawing scanned plans manually in AutoCAD or outsourcing CAD conversions overseas. This manual approach doesn’t just slow projects down—it drains budgets and ties up skilled professionals on low-leverage work.

Across Texas and beyond, teams are seeking faster and more cost-effective ways to manage this critical workflow.

That’s where HP’s AI Vectorize comes in—an advanced cloud-based tool that automates the conversion of raster PDFs into editable CAD files.

And here’s where TAVCO makes it real:

As a long-time technology partner for AEC professionals, we’re helping teams across Texas adopt AI Vectorize strategically—with practical support, honest answers, and a custom-built ROI calculator to show exactly what you could save.

Quickly convert raster drawings to editable CAD files with autogenerated layers.

The Cost of Manual Conversion in AEC Workflows

Time-Consuming – Redrawing or outsourcing delays projects.
Expensive – Even simple as-builts rack up recurring costs.
Talent Drain – Your team gets stuck doing low-leverage, repetitive work.

Manual PDF-to-CAD conversion isn’t just inefficient, it’s a bottleneck holding your firm back.

Embrace Automation with HP AI Vectorize

AI Vectorize, powered by HP’s cloud-based machine learning engine, automatically converts raster PDFs into editable vector drawings like DWG or DXF. With just a few clicks, you can:

✅ Save hours on every drawing
✅ Reduce long-term conversion costs
✅ Free your team for more strategic design work

No more waiting. No more guesswork. Just faster, more intelligent workflows.

Experience Real ROI—In Minutes

To help you quantify the impact, TAVCO created a free AI Vectorize ROI Calculator.

A small AEC firm converting just 30 drawings per month could reclaim over 20 hours and save more than $3,000 annually, simply by switching to AI Vectorize.

Contractors converting jobsite scans
Repro shops tackling batch conversions

This is your edge if you’re working with scanned drawings and need fast, editable output, without relying on high-cost design software.

The Hidden Costs of Outsourcing Raster-to-CAD Work

Many AEC firms and reprographers still rely on third-party services, often overseas, to handle raster-to-CAD conversions. While it may seem like a simple outsourcing solution, it can introduce a range of unseen risks and inefficiencies.

Here’s what we’re hearing from the field:

Security Concerns: Sending scanned building plans or sensitive client files overseas introduces potential data privacy and compliance issues.

Quality Control Gaps: With minimal oversight, final CAD files may contain errors or require rework, resulting in additional time and costs.

High Costs: Some U.S.-based repro shops report paying up to $125 per sheet for outsourced conversions.

Slow Turnarounds: It’s not uncommon to wait 5 to 7 business days for completed files, which can delay project timelines.

There’s a Better Way—With AI Vectorize

Why keep paying a premium and waiting days when you could:

✅ Cut your costs dramatically
✅ Avoid security risks
✅ Generate CAD files in just 5–10 minutes

With HP’s AI Vectorize and TAVCO’s support, you can take complete control of your conversion workflow—in-house, on-demand, and with confidence.
