As a leading, forward-thinking supplier, Van Hoesel has been at the forefront since 1965 in the design, production, installation and maintenance of aluminium window frames and curtain walls. Traditional craftsmanship is still very much alive, now combined with digitalisation and automation. They..

An aluminum support structure is the hidden force behind ventilated facade cladding. Its added value is often difficult to convey, but Lomax Systems has found a way. They use HiCAD to create 3D visualizations of the aluminum support structure for projects. This allows even non-technical..

In Leeuwarden, the new construction of Goedhart Bakery Kitchen was recently completed. The building, mostly closed in design, stands out thanks to its strikingly shaped curtain wall, which adds variation to the overall architecture. Façade builder Slump-Fictorie fully engineered the curtain wall..

In the manufacturing industry, efficiency is key. Any delay, error, or extra step can lead to higher costs and/or longer lead times. Yet, many companies still use CAD software without industry-specific extensions. While these programs are versatile, they often fall short of meeting the specific..

In the vibrant tapestry of Dubai's architectural landscape, the dialogue between modernity and tradition finds its nexus in innovative technologies like HiCAD. Through the lenses of Mohammed (Technical Consultant Manager – ISD Group Middle East) and Hicham (Technical Sales Manager – ISD Group..

Digitisation in construction continues unstoppably, providing innovative tools and software solutions that make our work more efficient and accurate. An excellent example of this is the combination of HiCAD and Logikal.

Glass facades are not only aesthetically pleasing but also technically demanding. Planning and manufacturing such structures require precise work and efficient processes. This is where HiCAD comes into play – a 3D CAD software specifically developed to meet the requirements of facade construction.

For many years, in the Netherlands-based Wijmoco has been designing facades in 3D. Yet in 2021, it switched to another software package: HiCAD from ISD Group. A conscious choice, according to head of operations Igor Keijzers. Since then, the production equipment can be controlled directly from..
