About
Advance Steel is a Dedicated Steel detailing package, the Software tool is a 3D modelling environment that then translates into a document management system. The 3D model consists of intelligent structural objects such as Beams, Plates, Bolts and Welds, with these combined together using the Parametric Connection tools that can be propagated within the model via connection copying tools, the model then becomes the hub for the creation of General Arrangements, Shop Assembly and Part drawings to allow for fabrication. These tools also extend into platework with ability to create complex folded plate details for flat pattern development drawings for shop use. Tools for creating steel frameworks from intelligent macros that allow for adjustments to the overall frame dimensions, section profile selection, this combined with the Parametric connection’s tools for standard connections types, with the ability to create custom connection details for bespoke situations.

About
Pi3D is a Windows application that turns a 3D model supplied as a STEP file into workshop documentation for manufacturers and engineering teams working with sheet-metal and welded assemblies.
It generates bills of materials, detail drawings, ballooned assembly drawings, flat patterns, cutting contours for laser, plasma and waterjet, press-brake bend sequences, weld drawings to ISO 2553 with seam measurements, operation lists, and printable A4–A0 sheets with a custom title block.
Pi3D does not replace or modify the originating CAD system; it runs separately without an add-in or extra library. It runs on the user's own machine, keeping models on-site rather than uploading them to the cloud.
The product comes with a one-time perpetual license and support, with no monthly or annual fee. Customers can submit a STEP file to receive a sample document set at no charge.

Audience
Design companies and steel modelling professionals looking for a 3D modelling environment software tool
|
Audience
Pi3D is for manufacturers and engineering offices producing sheet-metal and welded assemblies, including machine builders, sheet-metal fabricators, subcontract manufacturers, design offices, and R&D departments. It is especially suited to small teams where one designer or draftsman produces all shop documentation.
