The impact of rising material costs on facade builders is significant. In this respect, this type of company is not unique. On the positive side, facade builders do have tools to partially offset the extra costs. What effect do rising material costs, but also material shortages, have on facade..

Somewhat by accident, Manders-Dortmans Lasbedrijf B.V. (MDL), a welding company from the Netherlands, came across HiCAD drawing software. Within a few months, that single moment led to the choice and later the implementation of the same software at the company. Bas van Weert, co-owner and..

In the final analysis, the choice for 3D and 2D CAD software in one system is mainly a financial consideration. The number of manual operations is reduced and there is a better overview for those who overlay both types of drawings. But at least as important is the fact that the chance of errors..

CAD software develops at high speed. This is not unique, because everything and everyone is digitising and is now an IT company. Nevertheless, there are a few developments that deserve a little extra attention. These are 4 of the most important trends in CAD software for 2022.

Do you still work with several drawing programmes to be able to load the right files into the software of your machining centres? HiCAD includes relevant functionalities for metalworkers, which save you the trouble of constantly switching between programs. Both 2D and 3D models are easily generated..

Switching to a new technical drawing programme is a serious matter: it is important that you get to know all the ins and outs of the software and configure the programme to your needs. Fortunately, we have been advising and training customers who have switched to HiCAD for years. For you, too,..

Customers are often impatiently waiting for their sheet metal work to be finished so that they can get on with their own order. If you then have to manually convert the customer’s files to a different file type and, as a result, errors creep in that you only notice in production, it is not..

Switching between different drawing programs, converting different file formats to your own specifications and adding dimensions manually: all processes that cost extra time and make the customer wait longer for a part. But how do you model files quickly and efficiently? We explain it in this blog..
