The increasing worldwide demand for the powerful CAD program HiCAD is every reason for ISD Benelux to participate in
Polyclose 2024. Richard Verhoeckx, account manager facade construction, sees the event as the perfect stage to meet and inform a large part of facade construction Europe. "Especially our further internationalization has made us decide to be present in Ghent on January 17, 18 and 19 and present HiCAD in its full scope."
With the powerful, time-saving and comprehensive HiCAD, ISD Benelux offers the solution for the detailed design of facade cladding, curtain walls, window and door frames, roofs and walls, and then the automatic elaboration to production.
"As a subsidiary of the German ISD Group, we make every effort to optimize our customers' business processes and to simplify and improve the engineering of their products," says Verhoeckx. "In the broadest sense of the word. Within that endeavor, HiCAD fits like no other, especially when it comes to facades."
The benefits and added values of HiCAD are as numerous as they are welcome. And that is good news, especially for traditional facade processors who are in the process of switching from 2D to 3D or wish to further automate their current 3D environment. "HiCAD is our answer to the demand for a more streamlined and optimized design process and end result," Verhoeckx believes. "The software unites all mechanical and structural aspects in one solution. For example, it is possible to load large BIM projects and then design the required components freely and/or parametrically in detail in combination with the bi-directional link with LogiKal, Orgadata's calculation program. Parts lists, production sketches and assembly drawings can then be generated fully automatically and production controlled in a ditto manner. Even for the most complex façade panel constructions."
On its way to a resounding end result, ISD Benelux cooperates intensively with the German company 3A Composites, developer of Alucobond®, the aluminum composite facade panel. HiCAD also offers all necessary tools for the correct processing of this specific top product. For example, the software recognizes the grid on which the facade cladding is to be mounted.
"As a result, you can also design the rear structure based on this sheet metal and connect it to the facade cladding. The automatic development of, among other things, the necessary production and assembly drawings is then a piece of cake," said Verhoeckx, who concludes by once again emphasizing the added values of HiCAD and ISD Benelux.
"We are not only the developer of the software, but also provide sales, implementation, consultancy, customer-specific customization and even hands-on training around it. We stand for a total package, close to our customers. Both on the product and service front."
