BIM compliant planning with smart industry solutions
Our 3-D solution for facade engineering contains everything that will get you to your goal quickly: all industry functions in just one system. You can work at any time with the functionalities from mechanical engineering, beam, profile and sheet metal construction, steel engineering and facade construction. This makes HiCAD a real all-rounder!
Use HiCAD to create drawings for
element facades in HiSPEED
the following functions help you achieve a time-saving workflow:
Avoid unneccessary double work. Design similar elements only once in HiCAD thanks to modern parametrics. Features, constraints and variables are available for quick and easy element parameterization. Your same components in different elements are safely managed thanks to referencing.
Changes during projects occur quite frequently. The only thing that helps here is calmness and the necessary portion of dynamism. HiCAD makes it possible and lets you adapt individual components from your model drawing as you wish in every phase of your process. Free and parametric modeling also brings flexibility to your project.
Thanks to our powerful functions, you can always see how many times identical parts are used in your project. In this way, you always retain control of the project and can manage production efficiently and effectively. In HiCAD, the creation of any lists for panels, folded sheets, profiles and accessories as well as blank lists is just as simple and fast as the automatic output of practice-oriented dimensioned production drawings.
Our self-developed PDM system HELiOS guarantees you safe processes. With the integrated project, article and document management, searching for data is a thing of the past. Direct access from production or from the construction site? No problem thanks to plot management and Internet server. Would you like to know which changes in a project were implemented by whom? HELiOS offers you a clear answer to this question at any time.
Derive your customer and mounting drawings automatically from your 3-D model. Even if changes are made to your drawing, it will always remain up to date thanks to HiCAD's full 2-D/3-D associativity! 3-D details guarantee you simple and secure communication with customers and the production department.
With full 3-D modelling, a modern part structure and support for IFC 2 x 3 and IFC 4, we can safely say: HiCAD is fully BIM compliant! We support you in your BIM process with all functions and automatisms relevant to structural engineering!

„For us, the greatest added value of ISD software is the way in which 3-D development and project exchange is possible. After all, this is increasingly demanded in the construction sector. Exchange of information is very efficient and reduces costs due to errors. As a young innovative company we want to keep up with the latest technologies and developments in the construction industry.“
Dennis Meijer, Director
PBF Fassadentechnik GmbH
„In our daily work with HiCAD's Metal Engineering suite premium, we particularly appreciate the clear tool structure with expandable standard parts catalogue and the loss-free data exchange via DXF and STP interfaces, as well as the complete sheet metal workflow.“

BIM is conquering the civil engineering sector. The organisation ‘Van Hoesel’ is also increasingly confronted with BIM methodologies. However, the facade builder lacked solid software in which both the design and the control of the production process could be managed. In practice, this meant running through two processes each time, which increased the risk of mistakes and also spending more time than necessary. This is both past. After an intensive test phase with HiCAD, ‘Van Hoesel’ is convinced.
„What is striking about HiCAD is the very good combination of the mechanical and the structural aspects“
Ruud Baelemans, operational director

“The requirements placed on Metal and Facade Engineering become ever more stringent. Facades should be facelifted without tenants having to move. Demands on aesthetics, housing technology, compliance with standards insulation values, energy and sustainability issues or topics such as burglary or fire protection become ever more demanding, too, and require comprehensive consulting”, explains Roman Rutz, managing director since 2006 of PBF Fassadentechnik GmbH founded in 1995.
