Project details

Automating everything

This was one of those projects where we gladly demonstrate the power of automation. We developed optimization methods in order to automate the generation of complex steel structure for the atrium of the building. The elements were optimized and the whole process, from 3D geometry generation, over blueprint creation to the CNC machine ready files, was completely automated.

At the end of the process we generated thousands of workshop drawings which we were able to export in PDF and DWG format. All the dimensions and descriptions on these drawings were automatically generated, and the mere creation of such a huge number of "production ready" and very complex blueprints with a click of a button, confirmed once again that the future of building industry is in the automation.
