What Andor does

Andor is the Products Division (プロダクト事業部) of Marble Corp. (株式会社マーブル), a Japanese CAD/CAM software developer founded in 1972 and headquartered in Setagaya, Japan with a major product division office in Osaka. The company builds, sells, and supports a domestic portfolio of 2D and 3D CAD software — CADSUPER (flagship 2D CAD established 1985), CADSUPER WorksⅡ (an integrated 2D/3D CAD that wraps Dassault Systèmes' SOLIDWORKS engine), CADSUPER Lite (entry-level 2D CAD), and EASYDRAW (low-cost 2D CAD for beginners) — targeting Japanese manufacturers, design/engineering departments, and quality assurance teams in automotive, machinery, mold, and plant engineering.

Its underlying technology combines proprietary CAD kernel development with patent-protected computer-vision and OCR for the 検査表システム (Inspection System, Patent No. 6639008), which automatically extracts dimension attributes from DXF/DWG/PDF drawings and runs JIS-based tolerance OK/NG judgments. This is complemented by Drawing Extractor (drawing data to Excel), an Edge AI product line for factory-floor pose estimation, depth detection, dangerous-area monitoring, and anomaly detection, and CAD customization services for bespoke manufacturing workflows. The company has also branched into factory logistics with the Σone100 mecanum-wheel AGV and ΣoneRobo collaborative robot AGV.

Revenue is generated through one-time perpetual CAD licenses (CADSUPER ¥748,000; CADSUPER WorksⅡ ¥547,250–¥3,074,500; EASYDRAW ¥63,580), annual subscriptions for maintenance and DX software (Drawing Extractor ¥55,000/year), commissioned custom CAD development, and AGV hardware. Distribution is primarily domestic through a nationwide authorized dealer network (Canon System and Support, R S Science, UNO, Yamazen, Ricoh Japan, Sankyo Seiki, Toba Corporation, Mitsubishi Corporation Techno-S), the e-andor.jp e-commerce storefront, direct B2B sales, and consumer electronics retailers (Bic Camera, Yodobashi Camera) for the EASYDRAW line. The myANDOR support portal provides ongoing customer engagement.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• PTC: Provider of Creo (3D CAD) and Onshape (cloud CAD), competing with Andor's 3D roadmap and increasingly pushing subscription/cloud models that Andor's perpetual-license base may struggle to match.
• Dassault Systèmes: Owner of SOLIDWORKS, the 3D engine inside CADSUPERWorksⅡ and the global benchmark for 3D mechanical CAD. Strategic partner but also a structural competitor in 3D that could undermine Andor's differentiation at any time.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software: Developer of Solid Edge and NX for mechanical design and manufacturing. Comparable in targeting Japanese industrial customers with high-end 3D CAD/CAM and digital-twin offerings that could displace CADSUPERWorksⅡ.
• Hexagon (Manufacturing Intelligence): Owner of ESPRIT CAM and broader metrology/QA software. Comparable to Andor in addressing inspection automation and manufacturing DX, and a potential consolidator that could acquire Andor's inspection IP.
• Autodesk: Global incumbent behind AutoCAD and Fusion 360. Directly competes with CADSUPER in 2D drafting and with CADSUPERWorksⅡ in 3D, while also being a customization target for Andor's services business.

Direct peers

• ZWSOFT: China-headquartered developer of ZWCAD, a 2D/3D CAD platform with strong adoption across Asian manufacturing markets. Closely comparable to Andor in offering DWG-compatible 2D CAD at competitive price points and competing for the same mid-market mechanical drafting customer.
• Cimatron (Sandvik): CAD/CAM specialist focused on mold, die, and tooling workflows. Comparable to Andor in targeting Japanese mold and press-die manufacturers with dedicated CAD/CAM solutions that overlap with CADSUPER customization engagements.
• Mastercam (CNC Software): Leading CAM software vendor widely used in Japanese job shops and toolrooms. Comparable to Andor in serving the same manufacturing-DX customer base and competing for CAM/inspection seat spend.
• Bricsys (Hexagon): Developer of BricsCAD, a DWG-based 2D/3D CAD platform sold globally including in Japan. Comparable to Andor's CADSUPER in delivering perpetual-license 2D drafting with a path to 3D, and competing for similar mechanical-design seats.
• Kubotek Kosmos: Japan-anchored CAD vendor (KeyCreator, CADdirect) selling DWG-compatible 2D/3D CAD with a focus on direct modeling. Comparable to Andor as a Japan-based mid-market CAD competitor targeting similar manufacturing drafting workflows.
