Bricsys is pleased to announce the release of the newest update to its innovative CAD system. BricsCAD V17 supports 2D Drafting, 3D Modeling, Sheet Metal Design, and Building Information Modeling. It is unique as the only CAD system in the world to base all these design functions on the industry-standard .dwg file format.

For mechanical designers, V17 offers an intuitive Direct Modeling workflow, seamless read/write of industry standard MCAD design files and assemblies, and the third release of the world’s best Sheet Metal modeling and unfolding system.

In all three editions of BricsCAD, you can load and run existing LISP routines directly.

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.

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.
