Just as architects and designers embraced Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the early part of the 21stcentury, nearly 20 years later, BIM for manufacturing has become equally important. At first glance, it may be difficult to see how BIM, typically used in the construction space, can apply to manufacturing. Indeed, it is the very ubiquity of BIM in construction that requires any company that manufactures products used in construction to use BIM.

Compared to a traditional construction process, BIM could benefit constructors in many ways by simplifying estimating tasks, by enhancing value engineering, identifying conflicts, facilitating communication between team members and scheduling tasks. It is also reducing change orders or RFIs. And these result in increased efficiencies decreased waste that ultimately for contractors and their subs lead to greater profit.

If your company is making the progression from 2D to 3D and BIM, we can help. While 3D models make valuable contributions to communications, not all 3D models qualify as BIM models since a 3D geometric representation is only part of the BIM concept.

Bridge-building requires both art and science – especially for bridges that must span massive distances while being able to withstand tons of traffic, the possibility of earthquakes, high winds, and other tests of strength and design.

Using computers to facilitate or assist design has existed since the mid-1900s. The term “Computer-Aided Design” (CAD) was born in the 1950s and credited to Douglas Ross, who worked at MIT when the abbreviation was coined.
