BIM-based design and construction for misc steel and metal fabrication

BIM-ORIENTED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

bocad Light is the solution for micsellenaous steel detailers and fabricators who want to manage their projects in a structured way and deliver them reliably. Whether it’s a canopy, staircase, railing, platform, balcony, fence or gate, all structures are created directly within the 3D model and ultimately match the actual build exactly.

Drawings and bills of materials are automatically generated from the model. Once the design is finalised, all components fit together perfectly. Changes can be implemented centrally without having to restart the entire process.

Point clouds can be integrated and serve as a precise basis for planning within existing buildings. Even complex on-site conditions are thus reliably captured and accurately implemented.

The result is a consistent model that significantly simplifies planning and manufacturing whilst simultaneously meeting BIM requirements where these are required.
