CAD with BIM Raises the Bar of Quality Ductwork Fabrication “If you’ve ever designed a ductwork routing in SolidWorks, you’d know that when you add a route and connect it to the end point of the route, you’ll encounter a twist. There are numerous other process challenges that can be enlisted. But these challenges are confined to ideal CAD environment and can be corrected at any point of time.” When challenges emerge during or after fabrication actions get irreversible; its costs, quality, and business repercussions are cascading as a result of one single misinterpretation from fabrication drawings. These challenges usually surface due to the fact that 2D CAD fabrication drawings and 3D architectural as-built models aren’t on the same page as finely as they need to be. Drawings eventually tend to go off sync during the process of designing to eliminate several limitations; routing issue being one of them. After all, a fabrication d...
