What are the important points to consider when selecting 2D CAD as the shift towards 3D design and BIM progresses?

図研アルファテック 図研アルファテック
In the future, it is predicted that the demand for cost reduction in 2D CAD will arise due to the need for the introduction of expensive systems such as 3D CAD, PDM, BIM, and CIM. However, even in such circumstances, designers must be provided with a reliable CAD with a sufficient number of licenses. The production management department is likely always troubled by this conflicting challenge. The solution to that problem is BricsCAD. There are three reasons why we recommend this product, developed by our company since its inception as an add-on for AutoCAD: ■ The developer, Bricsys, is a key member of the non-profit organization "ODA (Open Design Alliance)," which provides .dwg software libraries, ensuring high reliability. ■ The drafting features are user-friendly and comparable to high-end products. ■ It is offered with a perpetual license at a low price. You can also download a trial version from our website. You can experience performance equivalent to the full version. Please make use of it. ▼ For more details about the product, please check the related product page or catalog ▼

What are the important points for selecting 2D CAD?

BricsCAD, which also considers future 3D capabilities. A single platform that connects 2D, 3D, and BIM all through .dwg.

Currently, in the manufacturing and construction industries, an increasing number of companies have shifted from 2D CAD to 3D CAD design. However, the actual adoption of 3D design varies by field and product; while it is becoming common in sectors like automotive and consumer electronics, many companies in industrial machinery and construction still rely on 2D CAD for their designs. In the context of digitalization in manufacturing, such as smart factories, and new initiatives in construction like BIM and i-Construction, it is essential to consider a hybrid CAD operation that incorporates 3D and BIM in the future. BricsCAD is a unique all-in-one platform that connects 2D, 3D, and BIM through .dwg files. It allows for the creation of 3D data from previously created 2D design data, as well as the import of high-end 3D CAD data, which can be processed and easily converted to 2D in .dwg format, enabling seamless operation between 2D and 3D. We encourage you to consider a CAD solution that allows you to continue your current 2D design processes smoothly while preparing for future advancements. *You can download a free trial version from the related links.

Industry Commentary | Advantages of Carbon Steel Solar Mounting Structures

  • NEW
  • PRODUCT

High Strength, Low Cost: The Economic Advantages of Carbon Steel Frames Carbon steel is inherently strong, and this high structural strength ensures stable wind resistance while allowing for a simple support structure, reducing the need for extra components. This also lowers the wear rate during transportation, enabling further savings in material costs and installation expenses. Transportation and Construction: Streamlining the Entire Project The advantages of carbon steel frames are also evident in the transportation and construction phases. Standardized designs simplify on-site installation and shorten construction periods. For example, carbon steel frames can be packaged using a combination of wooden sticks and iron ties, improving unloading efficiency and increasing transport volume. This reduces construction time and labor costs, distributing the overall burden of the project across all stages. Technological Innovation: Breakthroughs in Corrosion Resistance With the evolution of material technology, the corrosion treatment of carbon steel frames has also significantly advanced. Grace Solar has adapted to the technological trends in process development, and all current carbon steel frames utilize AlMgZn coating. At the same time, to meet the special requirements of each project, our company offers custom options for hot-dip galvanizing.
