BIM for BricsCAD
The greatly expanded BIM add-in for BricsCAD brings the power of Building Information Modeling to desktop. BricsCAD BIM offers an intuitive BIM workflow, in a familiar and comfortable workspace, within the native .dwg environment.
Sheet Metal for BricsCAD
Sheet Metal for BricsCAD lets designers import or create, rework, unfold, and export sheet metal parts using 3D direct modeling. This intuitive workflow gives designers freedom from many of the conceptual mistakes that surface when using history-based MCAD modelers.
Sheet Metal for BricsCAD V17 adds parametric form features that work like virtual forming tools to modify a sheet metal blank. The library included with the module contains the most commonly used form features, such as bridges, louvers, and embossed features.
Pricing and availability
The English version of BricsCAD V17 for Windows is available now. Additional languages and platforms will be released in the weeks to come. The free download provides a 30-day trial of all functions of the Platinum edition.
