Is an advanced engineering software allows teams to quickly create 3D product visualisations ready for manufacture. It offers a powerful toolset that can support multiple design and manufacturing tools by implementing one seamlessly integrated solution. As well as having an estimation feature that can monitor project cost, helping you keep within budget.
For those operating in the construction industry, another benefit is that it can export IFC files. This makes it compliant with new Building Information Modelling (BIM) regulations, making it a sound investment for the joinery.
It does however, come with a hefty price tag that could far exceed the budgets of small or specialist sub-contractors. Justifying the cost could be tricky; however, help is at hand, as recently discussed in our BIM for sub-contractors article.
Another challenge you could be faced with is that this software requires a lot of learning. If you don’t have a designer that’s familiar with the product, you could find yourself shelling out more for training.
Overall, cost and learning curve aside, this heavyweight program has a seemingly endless scope for possibility and is suitable for any industry or trade.
