Our 3D CAD solution HiCAD makes daily designing amazingly easy and enormously versatile. HiCAD can be adapted perfectly to your requirements and the size of your company. Small manufacturing companies, medium-sized companies with their own product development or large international enterprises will find the right composition of all required functions in one system due to the modular structure of HiCAD. In the fields of engineering design, structural engineering and product design, HiCAD can easily meet the respective high demands on a CAD system.
Constantly switching between different programs is time-consuming and, in the long term, also reduces quality. With HiCAD you work with both 2D and 3D functions in one user interface. The drawings can be transferred directly to NC-machines, production or manufacturing. These automated processes allow projects to be completed on time, in an optimized, safe and accurate manner.
HiCAD is the only 2D/3D CAD software that can incorporate steel engineering, sheet metal and plant engineering elements in one single model. It provides all industry-relevant and -specific functions in one user interface..
Models in 3D provide maximum overview and prevent errors. The consistent possibility in HiCAD to design in 2D and in 3D within one drawing ensures the safest and fastest way to the desired result.
Combine the benefits of both working methods for your designs: Unlimited flexibility through free modeling or parametric modelling for standardization and automation.
Our own 3D software kernel enables us to instantly react to customer requests and the requirements of the market. As a result, HiCAD and HELiOS are regularly extended with new functions.
Whether you work in a small manufacturing company or a large international enterprise - thanks to its modular structure, HiCAD can be optimally adapted to your company-specific CAD requirements and integrated into the existing software environment. Our products are modular in design, can be integrated individually or in combination into your existing IT environment, customized as required and used for all industries - even for cross-industry projects.
In addition to basic CAD modules and industry suites, a wide range of HiCAD extension modules offer you state-of-the-art functions for individual requirements.
As a flexible modular system, HiCAD can be easily upgraded at any time on the basis of a basic CAD module or an industry suite.
