What is 3D Steel Engineering and Why Do We Use Them?

We use the latest 3D structural steel detailing software to create high-quality architectural and engineering plans for your steel construction project.

Goto TIANYING to know more.

The use of 3D steel drawings means the components for your construction will be 100% accurate. That means, at the time of building, everything will fit together easily, saving you time and money, and ensuring a quality construction.

We use specialised 3D steel software by Tekla steel detailing and solid works.

3D steel detailing involves the use of high-tech computer software to produce shop drawings for a steel fabricator. These 3D drawings also provide the layout instructions to facilitate the installation and erection of the steel framework. Through the use of a 3D-viewer and 3D-model, it also enables us and the client to visualise each project, and how its pieces fit together, in 3D.

When preparing 3D plans for your steel project, we work closely with your architect, engineer, or contractors to ensure the final drawing is precise and ready to be used in the workshop or on-site. Our drawings include details for the manufacture and erection of all steel members (e.g. columns, beams, braces, trusses, stairs, handrails, joists, metal decking, etc.) to be used in your construction.

1. Improved Accuracy
One of the most noticeable Benefits of 3D modeling in steel details is the level of precision it provides. Traditional 2D designs can sometimes be interpreted incorrectly, resulting in inaccuracies and costly rework. You may design a virtual depiction of the steel structure with accurate measurements using 3D modelling, guaranteeing that every component fits precisely.

2. Better Visualization
3D modelling gives a clear and detailed visual depiction of the steel structure, making the project easier to grasp for all stakeholders. This improved visualization helps architects, engineers, and construction teams to communicate and collaborate more effectively.

3. Error Minimization
Human error is an unavoidable aspect of any project, but 3D modelling reduces the possibility of costly errors. You can discover clashes and conflicts in advance with realistic 3D models, eliminating the need for on-site adjustments and change orders.

4. Simplified Workflows
Steel detailing is made easier using 3D models. They serve as a comprehensive reference for all stages of the project, from design through manufacture and installation. This efficiency reduces downtime and speeds project schedules, saving time and money in the long run.

5. Cost-cutting measures
Steel detailing efficiency not only saves time, but also results in considerable cost savings. Fewer mistakes, less rework, and faster project completion all contribute to a healthier bottom line for the steel detailer as well as the whole project.

6. Improved Collaboration
In the construction sector, effective teamwork is critical. Team members may simply exchange 3D models, allowing everyone to work from the same set of data. This encourages a more collaborative environment, which leads to better project outcomes.

7. Design Versatility
Designers and engineers can experiment with many design alternatives using 3D modelling software. This adaptability can lead to more creative and cost-effective solutions, improving the overall project design.
