F136: An Open Model-To-Fabrication Ecosystem for MEP and Structural Fabricators, Software Suppliers, and Machine Manufacturers

An exclamation point iconThis event has already occurred.

*This conference session requires registration and payment.

The presenter will share an open model-to-fabrication ecosystem that connects different CAD and BIM design systems to a wide variety of machinery, including pipe profilers, automated welding systems, saws, linear positioners, and manual tools. The ecosystem is currently integrated with a variety of popular MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) and Structural design tools and features a public API and a free DLL. The cloud-based nature of this system eliminates tool programming and file importing, provides intersection logic for pipes and fittings, allows accurate procurement using as-designed material data, tracks fabrication status in real time, and supports both 2D and 3D visualizations for assemblers in the fab shop and the field. This talk will be of interest to fabricators, CAD and BIM software companies seeking to facilitate fabrication from their design tools, and machine manufacturers who recognize that integrating their tools with open, cloud-based solutions will give them a competitive advantage.
