Manufacturing drawings

According to the customer’s wishes

A large part of our capacity is devoted to production drawings of steel bridges. We process the production drawings completely in 3D in Siemens NX. We already have a lot of experience in using this program – we have prepared the manufacturing drawings for the first bridge in this program in 2010. It is a program primarily focused on mechanical engineering, but thanks to its very general concept it is also very suitable for modelling steel bridges. The detailed three-dimensional bridge model for the manufacturing drawings can also serve as the basis for a BIM model of the bridge. The powerful modelling module of Siemens NX allows us to produce production drawings even for very complex spatial structures. A special function of the program allows to flatten any generally curved solids representing individual plates. We modify the outputs in accordance with the customer’s requirements to make the transfer of information to production as simple as possible. We routinely transmit a 3D model, 2D production drawings created associatively above of the 3D model, item drawings with information for adjusting weld edges, bills of material in excel and text format according to the german DSTV standard, data for cutting machines in .NC and .DXF format. For working with the model and for generating outputs we use a number of our own software tools to automate routine operations.
