Sheet Metal Processing

Today sheet metal processing stands for the most up-to-date manufacturing techniques and materials. Previously, housing components, facade elements, vessels, and pipelines were assembled from separate components; today the most complex parts can be developed from a single sheet of metal. HiCAD next Sheet Metal Processing, our inter­connected and completely integrated solution for sheet metal processing, supports this advance offering a high rationalisation potential extending from design to manufacture.

Metal Engineering

Use the unique 2-D/3-D functionality for glazing, metal or facade construction as well as for the swift realisation of construction elements for all types of buildings, from customised glazing for winter gardens and the construction of house facades to complex roof land­scapes or transparent roofs.

Plant Engineering

Today designers working in a wide range of fields have to deal with increasingly complex technical appliances, e.g. the installation of pipelines; their plans are therefore correspondingly intricate. This also applies to fields such as logistics, chemical engineering or food stuffs

technology. HiCAD functions and auto­matic procedures are ideal for plant design as they support design tasks by radically reducing the number of amendments required. The P&ID (Piping & Instrumentation Diagram) module is a logical enhancement of the Plant Engineering module. P&ID functions allow the swift and simple creation of flow diagrams and detailed represent­ations for plant design, thus enabling you to save time and costs when plan­ning, realising and documenting plant construction projects.

Craftwork, Metal and Precision Engineering

Metal craft work is demanded in many industrial fields, e.g. metal working tech­nology, steel and commercial vehicle construction, tooling or precision mecha­nics. We offer a special package to support metal work, plus metal and precision mechanics including according to level designs for mechanical products, winter gardens and glass facades or complex steel or metal constructions.
