We use computers every day to work faster and better. But what can this tool bring to the field of construction? It cannot replace workers, can’t lay bricks, can’t prepare concrete. In fact, it’s not that obvious. Digitization, for example, is an unmatched aid. It allows a virtual project to be transformed into a unique modeling.
How to digitize?
Before looking at the benefits of digitization for construction players such as architects, manufacturers, consultants, or installers, it is important to know the tools available to them.
Among the most renowned and used, two are at the top:
Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Revit.
These two software programs have become essential today for building experts. To be effective, these two tools are perfectly adapted to BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology, which brings together different domains in a single element.
It is thus possible to create highly precise 3D models for particularly efficient construction. Using CAD, design becomes easy without losing precision. To do this, besides the appropriate software, a 3D scanner is also needed to capture the smallest elements of the construction.
Scanners and software are therefore a major—and indispensable—asset for working in three dimensions.
Know that with Autodesk Revit, it is possible to work on a design with multiple partners simultaneously, making the process much clearer for everyone.
3D modeling, unmatched advantages
In the field of construction, trial and error is not possible. One cannot build a building just to see if the chosen solutions are the most pertinent! 3D technology will simulate the construction in its finest details. You no longer waste time and have an accurate view of your creation “in all its forms.”
Thus, one can check measurements with high precision, modify sections that are not suitable, perform precise calculations…
Having doubts? The ongoing project can be consulted by all participants without losing time thanks to information sharing. You can easily present your problem, image in hand, to your interlocutor without having to travel! All stakeholders are thus integrated into the project and can cooperate easily.
Software adapted to 3D digitization offers many other advantages as well. They allow for early conflict detection. Planning is also improved and safer. Calculations are done much faster, without error. You will thus have a precise view of the costs and quantities necessary for your site.
This provides you with optimal budget control. It also saves time in the bidding stage. You have everything in a file, which can be easily shared.
Still have doubts? And hesitate because you fear not knowing how to use these programs? No panic! Everyone can learn 3D! Provided you have a good partner. You can turn to experts in 3D scanning and adapted software. You can also find complete solutions. Cadac Group, for example, offers you the best software (at the best price) and experts who will move your projects forward. You are then accompanied to choose the most relevant solutions. Establish a real partnership to become an expert in digitization and 3D modeling! The digitization of processes then becomes child’s play for all professionals in the construction field.
