Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP Sheet Metal

EastCoast CAD/CAM’s Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP Sheet Metal contains all the design and fabrication requirements for professionals who create, manufacture and install sheet metal systems.  With AutoCAD MEP Sheet Metal, you have complete control over the detail, manufacturer specifications and shop standards needed to create and fabricate duct systems inside of AutoCAD MEP.

The software provides rectangular, oval, round ducts, and taps and vane fittings. Shops add their own customization of these with specifications for materials and non-dimensional settings, and manufacturer defaults for dimensional sizing of fittings, tailored to specific project needs and shop standards.

With Fabrication forAutoCAD MEP Sheet Metal you can design a mechanical system using true dimensional parts and fittings. Build duct systems by routing, placing fittings piece by piece, or by using combinations of the two workflows. HVAC professionals place high value on the ability to design with spec-driven connectors right on the 3D model - a significant time and error avoidance feature.

Draw and design duct systems with real spec-driven content.

Fabrication forAutoCAD MEP Sheet Metal’s powerful editing tools save time and resources. If a change in the design is needed, you can easily change your specifications for the whole drawing in just one operation. Lock and unlock duct segments to control the elements of the routable duct and duct sections you need to modify. The Duct Break command maximizes your standard length duct segments, and helps to avoid placing taps on joints. Break your duct into standard sheet sizes with ease.

Generate duct spool drawings with isometric views and schedules of the entire system, or a sub-system you specify using a window selection. Spool drawings can be updated on the fly after a change is made to the design.

Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP Sheet Metal automates the process of detailing - saving time and resources.

Fabrication forAutoCAD MEP Sheet Metal supports project data collaboration. Transfer your design data to the Trimble Total Station tool, and generate Quickpen Vulcan CAM pickoffs.
You can be assured of one-to-one mapping of each duct fitting with pickoffs generated for use with DuctMaker for pre-fabrication, as both systems use the same fittings library.
