Features to support your operations

BIM and CAD integration

Autodesk Fabrication products provide a shared set of tools for optimizing CAD and BIM data to create detailed manufacturing content, run effective cost estimates and analysis, and design LOD 400 MEP parts, components, and systems.

Shared content libraries and databases

Use a common library of component, material, and part data in ESTmep, CADmep, and CAMduct to quickly generate accurate, detailed, and constructible fabrication designs.

Accurate and detailed reporting

Use reports to generate tabular schedules and summaries of project details, including specification, material, and cost data, to document all aspects of a design to manufacturing workflow.

BIM and CAD import for bid generation

Extend design intent models from Revit and AutoCAD software into Fabrication ESTmep for more accurate, competitive bids.

Manufacturer content database

Select from thousands of manufacturers’ items and pattern templates, including 54 imperial ranges, with real-world pricing and cost data for accurate estimating and analysis. Built-in Harrison codes and pricing.

Enhanced database export/import

Single-command database export and import, with optional insulation specifications and sections.
