hsbPANEL

3D CAD/CAM for the Design of panelised structures or better known as SIPS (Structurally Insulated Panels) Structures.

hsbPANEL 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.   hsbPANEL 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 for hsbPANEL

• Panel Construction
• Architects
• CNC Machine Data / Bill of Material Requirement

"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
• Design dataflow (architectural design & manufacture design & production plan)
• Advanced editing of each single object (panels, lumbers)
• Full Integration of Panels in the Display Configuration of Architectural Desktop
• User definable panel styles (components, dimensioning features
• corners, T-connections, end of walls etc.)
• Automatic shop drawings

architecture

• floorplan and building design for architecture and manufacturing
• architectural dimensioning

production planning

• Integration with architectural design otherwise design walls
• elements with hsbFunctionality
• user defined layout for representation of wall-elements
