As the shift towards 3D design and BIM progresses, what are the important points to consider when selecting 2D CAD? 2

図研アルファテック 図研アルファテック
In the future, it is predicted that the demand for cost reduction in 2D CAD will arise due to the need for the introduction of expensive systems such as 3D CAD, PDM, BIM, and CIM. However, even in such circumstances, designers must be provided with a reliable CAD with a sufficient number of licenses. The production management department is likely always troubled by this contradictory challenge. The solution to that problem is BricsCAD. There are three reasons why our company, which has been developing add-ons for AutoCAD since its founding, recommends this product: - The developer, Bricsys, is a key member of the non-profit organization "ODA (Open Design Alliance)" that provides .dwg software libraries, ensuring high reliability. - The drafting features are as user-friendly as high-end products. - It is offered with a perpetual license at a low price. You can also download a trial version from our website. You can experience performance that is the same as the product version. Please make use of it. For more details about the product, please check the related product page or catalog.

What are the important points for selecting 2D CAD?

BricsCAD, which also considers future 3D capabilities. A single platform that connects 2D, 3D, and BIM all through .dwg.

Currently, in the manufacturing and construction industries, there has been an increase in companies shifting from 2D CAD to 3D CAD design. However, the actual adoption of 3D design varies by field and product. While it is becoming more common in sectors like automotive and consumer electronics, many companies in industrial machinery and construction still rely on 2D CAD for their designs. In the context of digitalization in manufacturing, such as smart factories, and considering new initiatives like BIM and i-Construction in the construction industry, it is essential to think about hybrid CAD operations that incorporate 3D and BIM in the future. BricsCAD is a unique all-in-one platform that connects 2D, 3D, and BIM through .dwg files. It allows for the creation of 3D data from previously created 2D design data, as well as the ability to import high-end 3D CAD data, process it in .dwg format, and easily convert it to 2D, enabling seamless operation between 2D and 3D. We encourage you to consider a CAD solution that allows you to continue your current 2D design processes without difficulty while preparing for future advancements. *You can download a free trial version from the related links.

Hyper CLT flooring panel

Civil CLT as common temporary works for public construction | Hyper CLT flooring

  • NEW
  • COMPANY

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.
