Welcome to the
FRAMECAD®
Software Suite
Building design, engineering
calculations, structural analysis,
detailing and machine control have all
been fully integrated by FRAMECAD®
into one comprehensive software suite.
The result:
Our programs provide the end-to-end integration of all processes
involved in the design and building of Cold Formed Steel frame with
FRAMECAD® manufacturing solutions.
By using our software you can improve design efficiency and minimize
project delays anywhere in the world.
The software:
The FRAMECAD® Software Suite comprises of FRAMECAD® Structure,
FRAMECAD® Detailer, FRAMECAD® Factory 2 and
MyFRAMECAD which are all available in multiple languages, and
complying with many regional building codes, ensuring you have
full access to all upgrades and improvements the moment they’re
released.
