hsbLAM

3D CAD/CAM module for designing curved timbers. Curved timbers can be based on default schemes or on free designed autocad polylines.

hsbWALL is the design module for carpenters, the prefabricated building industry and Offsite Construction which is integrated with the leading CAD platform today worldwide, AutoCAD. AutoCAD, a member of the Autodesk group, has over 5 million official licenses worldwide and are the market leaders for CAD design software.  Functions such as move, copy, rotate and mirror are only a matter of course.   AutoCAD is today integrated into many schools and unniversities and is fast becoming a technical knowledge condition in gaining employment.   Architectural Desktop (ADT), a family extension of AutoCAD, and contains additonal functionality for concept design, architectural  and planning design. hsbWALL is completely integrated with AutoCAD and ADT, as a design platform that utilises all these familiar tools to make an easy and recognisable platform in any design discipline.

Target Group of hsbLAM

"all in one“....

• object oriented solution for 3D-CAD/CAM from architecture to cnc
• open and customisable CAD-System through AutoCAD® and Autodesk Architectural Desktop®
• 3D-solid-arx modelling

curved timber definition 

• the specification of curved timbers follows predefined rules or through selection of 2D-AutoCAD polylines

parameters of curved timbers

• thickness of lamellas
• specification of quantity of lamellas according to raw length or according to extended length
• definition of quality of wood – assigning different qualities to the overall height of the curved timber
• specification of raw length and width of lamellas
