AUTODESK FABRICATION

Autodesk Fabrication CADmep, CAMduct, and ESTmep are three integrated software solutions designed for the design, manufacturing, and cost estimation of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems, with a specific focus on air conditioning (HVAC) systems, plumbing systems, and piping networks. These tools manage the entire lifecycle of MEP production: from detailed 3D CAD modeling to automated fabrication, to economic analysis and generation of materials lists. Thanks to the close integration between the three environments and compatibility with BIM data, the Autodesk Fabrication package allows industry professionals to work efficiently and consistently, reducing errors on site and improving overall productivity. Who it's suitable for The Autodesk Fabrication package is ideal for: •Installation and pre-fabrication companies (HVAC, plumbing, fire protection) •MEP design studios •Workshops producing ducts, pipes, or prefabricated elements •BIM professionals who want to maintain consistency between models and production •Estimators and technical managers who manage quotes, costs, and project economic analyses Main features (included in the three modules) Autodesk Fabrication CADmep is a 3D CAD software for detailed modeling of MEP systems, based on the AutoCAD environment. Autodesk Fabrication CAMduct is a software for the preparation and control of the production of sheet metal ducts for ventilation and HVAC systems. Autodesk Fabrication ESTmep is a tool for estimating the cost of materials and labor, ideal for preparing detailed quotes and commercial offers.
