Is your CAD product data BIM ready?

BIM data is already required for many publicly financed building projects in countries like Great Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finnland and Norway. It is therefore becoming more important for component manufacturers to enrich information about their product data with Building Information Modeling (BIM). Component manufacturers face the great challenge of covering a multitude of new CAD systems and versions such as Revit, ARCHICAD, Nemetschek Allplan, etc. In doing so, it is hardly possible to prepare your own product data for all the desired CAD systems internally. However, only optimally prepared product information will ensure that planners, architects, structural engineers, specialists for technical building equipment and civil engineers can optimally integrate 3D CAD models into their plans.

All component manufacturers who already have digital product data, for example in Revit, can easily make their previous 3D CAD models available also in numerous BIM formats and various output channels such as Print, PDF, etc., effective immediately. The effort to do so is minimal, since the existing components do not have to be modeled or customized again. It’s a great advantage that, for the creation of 2D & 3D BIM CAD data, only a central data model has to be used for all additional output media and formats. In a visual sense, one cogwheel interlocks with the next one and thus enables numerous export and visualization options.

Moreover, CAD product data is also published on the platform BIMcatalogs.net from CADENAS. BIMcatalogs.net offers component manufacturers ideal marketing opportunities. BIM data is represented on more than 80 vertical marketplaces, portals and social communities. In addition, a 3D BIM CAD product catalog has the potential of being used in over 100,000 companies by more than 15,000,000 architects, civil engineers, TGA specialists, mechanical engineers, plant manufacturers and electrotechnicians.

Do you as a component manufacturer already make digital product data available to your customers and prospective customers? Then we would be happy to support you in generating and distributing your 2D & 3D BIM CAD data.
