About

Free designers from trivial and repetitive work. Preparing detailed drawings is tedious and error-prone. Reclaim time for actions that provide value, not busy work. Traditional methods for creating 2D fabrication drawings are a major time sink, often leading to extended project timelines and increased operational costs. Skilled engineers frequently find themselves tied up in repetitive drawing tasks, preventing them from focusing on more complex and innovative aspects of their work. Manual drawing processes are susceptible to human error, leading to inconsistencies and inaccuracies that can cause significant downstream manufacturing issues. Delays in design and drafting leave the manufacturing line stagnant. Teams strive to keep their manufacturing lines running constantly and uninterrupted to maximize efficiency. DraftAid frees drafters from drawing friction and drawing errors. DraftAid easily integrates with existing CAD software, enhancing your current workflow.

About

SDS2 is an all-in-one steel detailing and connection-design software platform built to help detailers, fabricators, and structural engineers deliver accurate, fabrication-ready steel models and drawings with speed, automation, and integration. It supports modular packages, from basic 2D drafting to full 3D modeling plus shop-drawing generation, enabling users to create precise shop drawings, erection drawings, or full BIM models depending on their needs. SDS2 features automated connection design calibrated to framing conditions and fabrication preferences, intelligent clash detection, and live multi-user modeling so teams can collaborate in real time without conflicting data. It produces high-quality, code-compliant documentation and delivers production-ready output that can feed fabrication equipment or support CNC/automated workflows. SDS2 also interoperates with major BIM and fabrication-management systems via standard file formats.
