About Cepha Systems
Cepha Systems is a start-up from Stuttgart that develops digitization tools for 3D CAD projects. Its core product is the CADPen, a CAD digitization system that captures real-world contours directly as native CAD geometry. The pen is guided along a template, a component or a surface and records contours as points, lines, circles and splines. The result is exported as a DXF file and can be used directly in the CAD/CAM workflow without manual tracing, e.g. for laser cutting, milling or design work. Contour capture works on the workbench, at the table or directly on the component at a distance of up to 5 meters, including multi-layer 2D and 3D capture across multiple sketch planes. Use cases include, among others, vehicle films and cutting patterns, machine knives and punching tools, as well as chassis geometries in motorsport. The company sells its system through its own online shop with personal support.
