A little bit of history

Quite some years ago I started working at a small metal workshop. And my first task was to draw the templates for some hoppers

I started reading books and asking my dad, who had quite an experience on the subject. The company did not have any CAD program at the time and we had to do this by hand, on paper.

In an attempt to do this in automated manner, I started making my first sheet metal routine programming, which eventually lead to LITIO Sheet Metal software for AutoCAD. After some years I launched a more advanced version, which was LITIO2.

With time, I also created the GstarCAD, ZwCAD and BricsCAD versions of LITIO2 Sheet Metal.

Nevertheless, I kept receiving questions on the availability of LITIO software on other CAD platforms or other versions of the existing CAD platforms (as for example, LITIO2 not working in AutoCAD LT).

Users also had issues when upgrading their CAD platforms to new versions, while installing the software, when changing the computer to a new one, etc.

Present time

Considering the CAD platform availability above, and the fact that nowadays more and more software services are cloud based and online, I decided to get my LITIO sheet metal software online.
