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.

From June 2025, measures against heat stroke in the workplace have become mandatory. Additionally, in December 2026, a "Support Package for Heat Wave Measures in Construction Work" was formulated, making heat stroke prevention during the summer a pressing issue, especially for those engaged in the construction industry. This time, we provide a collection of heat stroke prevention materials that can be utilized through Sysmet Co., Ltd.'s comprehensive weather platform, ZEROSAI X-AI. Examples of heat stroke prevention measures possible with ZEROSAI X-AI: - Cloud management of heat stroke information - Forecasting of the heat index (WBGT) tailored to the site with a mesh of 500m for up to 17 days ahead - Observation of the heat index (WBGT) in compliance with JIS standards using a black globe thermometer - Alerts for exceeding work standard values for the heat index (WBGT) via electronic bulletin boards, emails, and business chat tools like direct LINE WORKS We hope this will be useful at your sites as well.
