The Cascadia BIM team has over 20 years of shared experience in the mass timber industry. Once our design team is entrusted with your construction plans, our detailers approach their work with special attention to detail and accuracy. We analyze plans to identify any alterations or missing information. Whether you have an existing 3D model or 2D drawings, our team ensures the creation of quality assured products.
Step 2
3D Modeling
CADWork's 3D modeling benefits include:
Seamless import of customer models (.sat, .ifc, .dxf), accurate file translation from computer to machine and easy information sharing between various CAD programs.
All part elements are stored within the 3D Model which guarantees information stays accurate from start to finish. Each part is assigned a unique production number for easy identification of material on-site.
Optimized machining while preserving design intent for precise cuts and faster cutting times.
Easy visual inspection is possible by building the entire project in real space. Customers can view connections, part dimensions, and configuration before production begins.
Program calculations check all 3D objects to detect clashes within seconds. Our drafters identify issues and provide solutions tailored to your project needs.
Eliminating waste through optimized material lists for production.
Step 3
Construction Shop Drawings
Our team creates construction ready shop drawings for customer review and approval that flows directly to on-site installation. In CadWork, 3D models easily translate to 2D plans. Material lists generated from the 3D model provide quantities for product orders, saving important project information all in one file.
Step 4
Machine Export
CADWork has several options for exporting. Depending on beam dimensions and project type, the complete 3D model can be exported to any of our three CNC machines (.BVN, .BVX, .BTL) for production.
Step 5
Production Can Start
Approved shop drawings send your project to the production stage. From there, we compile all information into a project binder that is shared with our production team. We can order steel, hardware, and other specialty fasteners to complete your project.
