Description
Advance Steel is a specialized steel detailing software that operates within a 3D modeling framework, which ultimately integrates into a document management system. This 3D model is comprised of smart structural components, including beams, plates, bolts, and welds, which can be assembled using Parametric Connection tools that facilitate the duplication of connections throughout the model. Consequently, this model serves as a central hub for generating general arrangement drawings, shop assembly drawings, and part drawings essential for the fabrication process. Additionally, the software possesses features for platework, enabling the creation of intricate folded plate details required for flat pattern development drawings intended for shop applications. The program includes tools for constructing steel frameworks utilizing intelligent macros that accommodate adjustments to overall frame dimensions and section profile selections, all while leveraging Parametric connection tools for standard connection types and the flexibility to design custom connection details tailored for unique circumstances. This comprehensive approach ensures that every stage of the detailing process is streamlined and efficient, ultimately enhancing productivity in steel fabrication projects.
Description
Pi3D is a software for Windows that converts 3D models in STEP file format into comprehensive workshop documentation tailored for manufacturers and engineering teams involved in sheet metal and welded assemblies. The application produces various outputs, including bills of materials, detailed drawings, ballooned assembly diagrams, flat pattern layouts, cutting contours suitable for laser, plasma, and waterjet processes, as well as press-brake bending sequences, ISO 2553 compliant weld drawings with seam measurements, operational lists, and customizable printable sheets sized from A4 to A0 featuring a personalized title block. Importantly, Pi3D operates independently and does not alter or integrate with the original CAD system, functioning as a standalone application without the need for additional libraries or add-ins. It ensures that all models remain on the user's premises, avoiding the necessity of cloud storage. Users can acquire the software through a one-time perpetual license that includes ongoing support, eliminating any recurring fees. Furthermore, potential customers are encouraged to send a STEP file to receive a complimentary sample document set, allowing them to evaluate the software's capabilities before making a commitment. This user-friendly approach highlights Pi3D's commitment to providing value and accessibility to its users.
