Steel Fabrication
	Many fabricators now utilize modern drills, saws and plate cutting machinery that can be programmed automatically from CNC (Computer Numerical Control) data. Indeed even some of those that don't have started to use CNC date to order pre-cut material from their stockholders.
Although CNC data can be keyed in manually or derived from other sources the most common and effective method is to extract it from a 3D CAD model.
Our Advance Steel 3D detailing software from Graitec, for AutoCAD, can be configured to write CNC files in the universal DSTV format supported by all popular machine manufacturers, including Kaltenbach and Peddinghaus. CNC files can be communicated directly to the machine console via a local area network, or even across the Internet.
Alternatively they can be loaded into CIM software modules for the fabrication of plates and beams to first pre-optimise the manufacturing process, including automatic nesting and post-processing!
	Miscellaneous / Secondary Steelwork: In addition to the main structural elements, Advance Steel provides all the facilities necessary to model and detail miscellaneous items, including; handrails, ladders, stairs, cladding etc.
