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, and piping networks. These tools allow for the management of the entire life cycle of MEP production: from the detailed 3D CAD model to automated manufacturing, economic analysis, and the generation of material lists. Thanks to the close integration between the three environments and compatibility with BIM data, the Autodesk Fabrication package enables industry professionals to work efficiently and consistently, reducing errors on site and improving overall productivity. Who is it suitable for? The Autodesk Fabrication package is ideal for: • Installation and prefabrication companies (HVAC, plumbing, fire prevention) • MEP engineering design firms • Workshops that manufacture ducts, pipes or prefabricated elements • BIM coordinators who want to maintain consistency between models and production • Estimators and technical managers who handle quotes, costs and economic analysis of projects Main features (included in the three modules) Autodesk Fabrication CADmep is a 3D CAD software for the 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 intended for ventilation and HVAC systems. Autodesk Fabrication ESTmep is a tool for the estimation of material and labor costs, ideal for preparing detailed estimates and commercial offers.
