Steel&Graphics TecnoMETAL 2022 (build 22.06.08.2021) is an integrated software suite for 3D modeling, detailing, and CNC fabrication of structural steel and metalwork for the construction industry. It streamlines the workflow from the initial 3D model of a steel structure (created within the software or imported from architectural/structural models) to the generation of detailed workshop drawings, bills of materials (BOM), and CNC machine code (G-code, DXF, etc.) for cutting, drilling, and marking machines (plasma, oxy-fuel, laser, waterjet, drills). It is a critical tool for converting structural designs into fabricated components with minimal waste.
Steel&Graphics TecnoMETAL 2022 is a specialized CAD/CAM software designed for Structural Steel Detailers, Steel Fabricators, Workshop Engineers, CAD Technicians in Construction, and Oxy-cutting Machine Operators involved in the design, detailing, nesting, and fabrication of structural steelwork for buildings, bridges, and industrial structures.
3D Parametric Steel Modeling: Create accurate 3D models of steel structures using a library of standard parametric profiles (I-beams, channels, angles, hollow sections) and standard connections (bolted, welded) as per construction codes.
Automatic Workshop Drawing Generation: Automatically generates comprehensive workshop drawings (assembly drawings, single part drawings, anchor plans) with dimensions, annotations, weld symbols, and part marks directly from the 3D model.
Advanced Nesting & CNC Programming for Construction: Powerful 2D nesting module to optimally arrange steel parts on raw material plates (sheets, profiles) to minimize waste—a key cost factor in construction projects. Automatically generates optimized CNC cutting/drilling paths for fabrication machinery.
Bill of Materials & Project Costing: Extracts detailed BOMs with weights, surface areas for painting, and costs. Integrates with project management and ERP systems used in construction.
BIM & CAD Interoperability: Imports structural models from other BIM software (like Tekla Structures, Revit, AutoCAD) via standard formats (IFC, DXF, DWG) and prepares them for fabrication.
Fabrication Management: Tools to manage production batches for different construction projects, track part status, and generate shop floor reports.
This build within the 2022 version series includes updates relevant to construction workflows.
Enhanced IFC/BIM Import: Improved reliability and accuracy when importing structural models from BIM platforms, preserving more intelligence and layers.
Updated Steel Section Libraries: Inclusion of new standard steel sections and connection details from various international construction standards (EU, US, etc.).
Nesting Algorithm Improvements for Structural Plates: Optimizations for nesting large, irregular steel plates and beams common in construction.
User Interface Refinements for Detailers: Updates to streamline the detailing and drawing annotation workflow.
Bug Fixes & Stability: Resolution of specific issues related to drawing generation and data exchange.
