CADDS Engineering has the ability to produce 3D models of your product if requested, or if it is deemed beneficial to the project. We have a number of our CADDS Engineering draftsmen who are proficient in, and regularly use 3D modeling software, primarily Microstation V8i, Bentley Prosteel, and Autodesk Revit 2009.
While a considerable percentage of drafting firms are still rooted firmly in 2D drafting, CADDS Engineering strives to create as many of our jobs as possible within a 3D environment. While 2D drafting can create unforeseen problems that may not be realized until the construction stage, 3D modelling allows a virtual model of the real item to be created to ensure problems such a clashing members, bolt alignments and handrail clearances are virtually eliminated before construction of the real world item is initiated.
Another advantage to 3D modelling is that the update of drawings is quicker, as all 2D drawings are linked back to the 3D model, so any changes within the model itself are automatically reflected on the design drawings. In essence, this means a quicker (and cheaper) turnaround time for you, resulting in less down time and a shorter “concept to creation” period.
While some clients may have difficulty interpreting drawings, and visualizing their product in the 2D environment, a detailed 3D model allows you to instantly see what the final creation will look like at completion. At the completion of the project, you will be supplied with a full set of working drawings to your preferred standard.
Examples of our 3D models include access platforms, stairs, conveyors, lifting frames and rain water tanks
