TENADO METAL 3D Launched in the U.S.

This week, the American market welcomed TENADO METAL 3D, a specialized 3D CAD software from TENADO, a company under Revalize. Developed in Germany, this innovative tool leverages over 35 years of expertise within European metal fabrication shops.

TENADO METAL 3D is designed with the unique needs of metal fabricators in mind, offering workflows that specifically cater to the nuances of the metal industry. Unlike traditional CAD systems, which were primarily built for general mechanical engineering tasks, TENADO METAL 3D incorporates features that streamline processes for tasks such as designing stairs, railings, structural components, and sheet metal fabrication.

Addressing Industry Challenges

Historically, many metal fabricators in the U.S. have utilized generic CAD programs. These tools often forced professionals to spend excessive time on manual setups, making repeated calculations and adjustments. This not only slowed down the overall workflow but also led to increased errors and miscommunication on the shop floor. With TENADO METAL 3D, designers can bypass many of these common pitfalls.

Content-Rich Built-in Libraries

One of the standout features of TENADO METAL 3D is its comprehensive built-in parts library, which complies with standards from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and includes U.S.-specific fastener libraries. This provides American metal fabricators with a robust alternative to the generic CAD options they have relied upon for years.

Automated Features for Increased Efficiency

The software's design revolves around the practical needs of metal fabricators. For instance, it automates repetitive tasks such as miter calculations, flat-pattern unfolding, and creating cut lists. Automating these features not only saves time but also reduces the potential for human error, allowing teams to transition seamlessly from design to fabrication-ready outputs without rework.

Focus on User Workflow

As Karlos Palmer, Senior Director of Product Management for TENADO at Revalize, observes, many fabricators are still working with outdated tools that do not cater to their specific workflows. With TENADO METAL 3D, users can expect rapid onboarding and less time spent on design tasks, empowering them to take on additional projects, secure more bids, and ultimately, grow their businesses.

Evolution in Fabrication Projects

The platform also caters to the evolving demands of fabrication projects that require collaboration in model-based environments. An impressive aspect of TENADO METAL 3D is its IFC interface. This support for the open Building Information Modeling (BIM) data standard enables users to exchange model data seamlessly with architects and general contractors, enhancing communication on commercial endeavors.

Ideal for Custom Fabrication Shops

TENADO METAL 3D is tailored specifically for custom fabrication shops, stair and railing specialists, and similar businesses aiming to increase output without expanding their workforce. By automating meticulous design steps, the software not only ensures consistency but also accelerates project turnaround times—two critical factors in today's competitive market.

Availability

TENADO METAL 3D is now available for U.S. users, and interested parties can schedule demonstrations through the official TENADO website. Companies looking to modernize their design processes are encouraged to explore how this software can benefit their operations.
