Refine Your Precast Design using 3D modeling improves speed, accuracy and costs

3D Precast Design method vs. other design options

We hope you see that creating a 3D design for your precast project is clearly a major improvement on drafting 2D drawings. Here is how 3D Precast Design compares to an in-house solution using one of the two other 3D software programs on the market.

Tekla and Structure Works

Both are designed primarily for simple precast structures .
Tekla station cost more then $25,000.
Structure Works station cost more then $15,000.
Both are very difficult to learn, so training costs are high.
Such an investment is prohibitive for smaller companies.

Both of these solutions also lack the flexibility that our custom software provides. They make it hard to adopt your particular drafting style (including fonts, line weights and drawing layouts). Printing is awkward. And conversion from and to AutoCAD is a cumbersome laborious process.

More about our software

1. Output 2D drawings from one 3D model whenever you need them.

2. Easy, fast changes at any design stage -- with one 3D model as the central repository for all changes, which automatically populate changes to all drawings.

3. Streamline the design process – our method simplifies complex projects and enables us to complete design tasks much faster than conventional methods.

4. No need to buy expensive, specialized 3D design software that requires extensive training.

5. It lets us concentrate on your design, not thedrafting!
