FABRICATION NOW AVAILABLE - INTERFACE TO THE ELUMATEC® ELUSOFT PROGRAM
In addition to the extensive batching and reporting capabilities of the D-CALC® FACADE program, the program can produce fabrication reports showing the location of fabrication operations as well as an operation code which would describe the operation to be performed.
Reports can be generated for the shop with all of the jobs material requirements, cut sizes, pick lists, glass sizes, optimized cut lists and other reports as necessary. In addition, data generated by D-CALC® FACADE can be used to drive automated CNC equipment including automated back stops for saws, multi axis machine centers for fabrication and glass cutting tables.
D-CALC® has extensive experience world-wide with interfacing to a multitude of different CNC machines. From automated door manufacturing to fabrication of heavy glass door lites, the D-CALC® FACADE program is an ideal front end solution to your fabrication needs.
The
D-CALC® FACADE program is an ideal solution to those large curtain wall fabricators who need the ability to design a curtain wall and immediately generate the necessary shop floor documentation. With a few clicks of the mouse, the user can generate optimized cutting lists for their metal, glass sizes and hardware lists. The user can locate wind load and dead load anchors and the system will include the items necessary (as defined) for the anchors, including structural steel angles, Teflon spacers, bolts, washers and other items.
The system can generate a list of items necessary for the installation of the product. Perimeter anchors, caulking, brake metal and other items. D-CALC® FACADE can read properties of the elevation and utilize formulas to generate material requirements. For example, caulking can be setup based on a drawing attached to an elevation using the programs "Trims and Wall Conditions" tool. When the drawing is applied to an elevation, the system can automatically update the surrounding conditions, applying the caulking detail as well as other detail conditions, read the perimeter lineal footage of the elevation and utilize this figure in an embedded formula to calculate the number of tubes of caulk required, the cost of the caulk and also the cost of the labor to apply the caulk !
