Success Story

How Graitec and Autodesk Software Helped Transition MTD Studio from CAD to BIM

How Graitec and Autodesk Software Helped Transition MTD Studio from CAD to BIM

Customer challenge

MTD Studio di Ingegneria is an Italian design and consultancy firm engaged in the civil, commercial, industrial and infrastructure fields for thirty years, with a portfolio of over 1,800 projects. Their clients are architectural firms, building technicians, construction companies, manufacturing companies, commercial firms, public bodies, investment companies. For rebar detailing, the main challenge was to model all the bars from all the elements. Knowing there would be many changes to follow on such a complex project, the revisions needed to be kept at a minimum.

Project goals

MTD Studio di Ingegneria used to work with AutoCAD but decided to migrate to Autodesk Revit and GRAITEC Advance PowerPack for Revit Premium. To increase the production speed of reinforcement plans, improve the accuracy of placing and adjusting the rebar whenever something changed, faster set-up of each new project and fewer coordination errors, all of these leading to financial savings for the firm.

Solution

“As far as the reinforcement of the elements in BIM is concerned, it was a winning choice because the errors are reduced to a minimum, and the speed of creating the bar bending schedules and making any correction of errors is very fast. I can tell you with certainty that when designing a complex building, with Revit, the time is halved and therefore, the production is doubled,” says Matteo Scussel, BIM Specialist at MTD Studio di Ingegneria.

Business outcome

One of the latest projects where Autodesk Revit and the GRAITEC PowerPack have been used is the extension of a building to produce titanium eyewear, located in Belluno, Italy, requiring concrete, steel and wood building works. GRAITEC’s tools allowed them to efficiently detail the reinforcement, create bar bending details and schedules and automatically generate batches of drawing sheets according to the Italian practice.

Conclusion

They plan to improve the multi-disciplinary coordination in the future by asking all other firms collaborating on projects to use Revit’s work-sharing capabilities.

Graitec helps Visivo optimise Autodesk 3ds Max to deliver high-performance gym designs

Visivo is a 3D animation company specialising in 3D visualisations, fly-through animations, and virtual reality (VR) representations of gyms. Visivo’s work enables gym owners or franchisees to visualise their gym designs more clearly, especially during the pre-sale period of a new franchise opening. The company uses 3D computer graphics software from Autodesk to carry out this work. In doing so, it draws on training and support provided by Autodesk platinum partner, Graitec. To be successful, Visivo needs to showcase to gym owners and franchisees how their gym might look if various design options are taken. That process of experimentation is key in the earliest stages of design as a new gym takes shape, and it will also be instrumental in how the gym looks in the future.


Adoption of Automation to Reduce Time Spent on Design Tasks and Reduce Errors

Visobath is dedicated to the manufacture and marketing of bathroom furniture, thanks to effort and innovation, has become a benchmark in the furniture industry. Since its inception in Visobath, they have worked to offer the best solutions for the bathroom of their customers with innovative and quality products and good service and customer support. In Visohome Group, a business group to which Visobath belongs, Covid-19 has significantly impacted working. They decided to review all jobs, establish protocols to guarantee the safety of their workers and, fundamentally, promote the use of telematics tools. The biggest challenge they have faced at the organizational level has been the adaptation to remote teamwork, so they have implemented tools so that the computer can stay connected.
