2D and 3D CAD in one system

One of the main advantages of HiCAD over other types of CAD software is the flexible transition between 2D and 3D CAD. With HiCAD, it is easy to design complex layouts in 3D and switch to 2D to edit views, sections and connections. Changes made in a 2D section are immediately visible in the 3D model. This is what makes HiCAD unique in the market.

Industry-specific software

HiCAD always provides the features and functions that your steel company needs. The modular structure of HiCAD ensures that the software always fits into the existing software environment and the specific requirements of your company.
