HiCAD Implementation Case Study at Metallbau Schwindl GmbH

This case study details the implementation of HiCAD at Metallbau Schwindl GmbH, a company specializing in steel and metal engineering since 2014. The company sought a modern CAD solution in 2019 to enhance efficiency and streamline workflows. Prior to HiCAD, design tasks were performed using AutoCAD or BricsCAD, which lacked consistency. The team was impressed by HiCAD's versatility, leading to its swift adoption after evaluating alternative software. The introduction involved a week-long training course, followed by practical learning with support from ISD. HiCAD is now integral to nearly all projects, facilitating processes from measurement to production drawing. Key features include point cloud processing and automatic drawing derivation, which improve planning quality and accuracy. The transition to HiCAD has resulted in better communication with clients, higher quality production documents, and more efficient working methods. Overall, HiCAD has become essential for managing projects of varying sizes, enhancing the company's operational capabilities.
