Line 1: {{short description\|Swiss multinational technology and consulting corporation}} Line 24 ⟶ 23: }} '''cadwork informatik AG''' is a multinational software company headquartered in [[Basel, Switzerland]]. It develops and markets software products primarily for the construction industry. These products include timber industry products in [[computer-aided design]] ([[computer-aided design \|CAD]]) and [[computer-aided manufacturing]] ([[computer-aided manufacturing \|CAM]]) as well as products in [[building information model]] (BIM) and [[virtual design and construction]] (VDC). These products are suitable for [[designer]]s, [[structural engineer]]s, [[construction engineering\|construction engineers]], [[draftsman \| civil engineering draftspeople]], building contractors, and in the case of BIMTeam VDC, the [[Construction worker\|construction crews]]. cadwork has been commended for their integration of design, manufacturing, and ~~construction--contributing~~construction—contributing to Europe's 25-year lead on North America in the timber construction industry.<ref>Joseph Gallivan "WHERE MASS TIMBER COMES TOGETHER," Pamplin Media Group, March 26, 2019. https://pamplinmedia.com/but/239-news/423542-328541-where-mass-timber-comes-together-pwoff</ref> cadwork was formed in 1988 at the [[École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne]] (EPFL) Department of Timber Construction, as a continuation of research in software by the [[Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology]] (CSEM), a watch industry research department. The company has seven subsidiaries, with offices in [[Saône, Doubs \| Saône, France]]; [[Hildesheim, Germany]]; [[Rýmařov\|Rýmařov, Czech Republic]]; [[Breitenwang\|Breitenwang, Austria]]; [[Cuarte de Huerva\|Cuarte, Spain]]; [[Montréal]], and the [[United States of America]]. == Products and technical details == cadwork is mainly known for their timber industry wood products, but in Switzerland, it is a leading software for civil engineers. In 2004, cadwork started the development of Lexocad, a BIM-level design-planning-construction software that pushes the boundaries of the construction industry technology development. * cadwork [[2D geometric model\|2D]]: The entry-level module to cadwork 2d with two-dimensional lines and surfaces with different [[Hatching\|hatches]]. It is a '' '2.5D CAD system' '', in addition to [[Two-dimensional space \| two-dimensional]] editing, cadwork 2d also allows for [[height]] information. Height information is particularly suitable for construction planning while transitioning from 2D to the 3D module, which in 3d provides for developing a tender for construction project competitions. An alternative to cadwork 2D is [[AutoCAD]]. A module of cadwork 2d allows for [[reinforced concrete]] and [[geographic information system]] (GIS) plans. The file format is .2d. ▼ * cadwork [[3D computer graphics\|3D]]: A timber 3D CAD/CAM design product. In cadwork 3d, one works with volumes to depict walls, generate wooden and steel rakes, and to plan three-dimensional node [[space (architecture) \| space]]. The primary areas of application are in timber and steel construction. cadwork 3D offers free volume models; an internal axis (length, width, and height) makes it possible to assemble the individual components easily into complex, three-dimensional structures. There are several additional modules, such as a wizard for entering a roof, an assistant for the elementation of walls, or also the output of the individual components as a dimensioned 2D component drawing or on [[Numerical control\|computer numerical control]] (CNC) joinery machines. The Timber Engineering Reference described cadwork 3d as broadly featured with modules for heavy timber roof, heavy timber frame, log structures, panelization, CAM fabrication, parametric variant module, glulam lamination design, and a bill of materials.<ref>Alexander Schreyer "TIMBER ENGINEERING REFERENCE – CAD SOFTWARE," [as], FEBRUARY 19, 2008. https://alexschreyer.net/timber-engineering/cad-software/</ref> The file format is .3d.▼ ▲* cadwork [[2D geometric model\|2D]]: The entry-level module to cadwork 2d with two-dimensional lines and surfaces with different [[Hatching\|hatches]].
