BIM services enable building engineering consultants to raise the efficiency of construction projects, optimize resources, and improve building value. They can increase project collaboration and reduce delays and wastage. Building engineering consultants often struggle to keep up with construction market trends, technical advancements, and project demands. Studies estimate the construction industry will reach a whopping $14.4 trillion by the year 2030.  Construction technology is progressing fast to make that possible. BIM services help experienced building engineering consultants by o ..read more

While there are umpteen applications of CAD drafting services in industrial construction, the most important is sketching out plant layout and general arrangement of plant equipment across the facility. If we inspect the correlation of CAD drafting and modeling with plant design engineering there are multiple professionals right from construction firms, plant owners, manufacturing companies to individual plant design engineers and structural engineers who are directly associated. Hence when it is about plant efficiency, it all burns down to how well is the plant layout strategized and all the ..read more

The idea of reverse engineering itself carries the idea of re-engineering an existing physical component – one that has worn out and needs replacement but the spares aren’t available. At such occurrences, existing worn out parts are scanned using portable 3d scanners and lasers which are later imported to CAD software. These 3D scans are then converted to 3D solid CAD models for further design optimization and finally re-manufacturing. A step by step dismantling of the part is done and each geometric measurement is recorded and 3D physical part is redeveloped using SolidWorks and Geomagic X d ..read more

The present scenario in the construction industry is such that, every professional and every expert has to embrace the new working methods that have evolved due to industry wide digital revolution. MEP is clearly more complex and is crucial to a projects success. The team structure for MEP discipline is also complex and it includes MEP consultants, fabricators, MEP installation and maintenance experts and fire safety, trade specific sub-contractors. MEP design conventionally has been a twin system wherein the MEP consultant develops plans and schematics to be passed on to the contractor for d ..read more

Infrastructure is a strong backbone of any country. Just like the construction industry across the world, postponements, clash, procurement, communication and contractual problems may epitomize megaprojects, such as museums, transportation and healthcare facilities using BIM across the whole building construction project timeline. It should not be like a wake-up call for general contractors, sub contractors, and MEP contractors and various architectural and construction firms. The typical approach of getting work done through cheap labor, makes it all the more difficult to use advanced tools ..read more

With the increased need for innovative product designs, industrial engineers and architects are occupied with design optimization. Today, design professionals have reached a stage where they have to juggle through numerous projects at any given time owing to increasingly taut deadlines and competition. Many engineering and architectural design companies have joined the foray of outsourcing business to countries like India. Engineering design companies seek assistance from outsourcing CAD drafting companies for 3D modeling and CAD drafting. The association is beneficial to these companies as t ..read more

Popularly used as modern day building construction shed, sheet metal roofs, have gained significant acceptance in the past few years as the manufacturing industry advanced. With some notable developments in the manufacturing industry, especially sophisticated machining processes, smother coordination between teams and in-depth knowledge of the sheet metal behavior under various manufacturing processes, complex and unusual designs of metal roofs have become widely accepted. But again, acceptance of complex designs means the need for perfection right from the first draft and consideration of ev ..read more

Manufacturers do have creative ideas for new products to be brought to the market. But rising costs and squeezed margins compel manufacturers to opt for engineering and R&D services and shorten product development timelines to gain early advantage. Fulfilling the requirements of managing product design development, from concept to production, is a challenging task for design engineers & manufacturers. Ultimately most of their creative ideas get shelved, and never see daylight. With extensive experience in implementation, maintenance, and customization of PDM and PLM tools for mechanic ..read more

“If you’ve ever designed a ductwork routing in SolidWorks, you’d know that when you add a route and connect it to the end point of the route, you’ll encounter a twist. There are numerous other process challenges that can be enlisted. But these challenges are confined to ideal CAD environment and can be corrected at any point of time.” When challenges emerge during or after fabrication actions get irreversible; its costs, quality, and business repercussions are cascading as a result of one single misinterpretation from fabrication drawings. These challenges usually surface due to the fact that ..read more

Last month, when Elon Musk’s Tesla announced about the launching of cheap solar roofs, it must have sent a jitter down the spines to fabricators of shelter structures and metal canopies. These sheet metal fabricators see solar roofs attacking their business, no matter how versatile their own products are. Like Tesla, there are numerous entrants with some new features every now and then. In order to stay profitable in such agile market, fabricators’ way out is to adopt design automation for their versatile CAD designs and use an online configurator for attracting more customers with better sal ..read more
