Steel fabrication is a tricky task, which deals with design, detailing, drawings and construction of various structural steel members such as stairs, joists, deck, handrails, etc. Steel is widely used construction material for residential buildings, skyscrapers, bridges and other structures worldwide. Structural steel can be used to build simple to complex structures in efficient, time-saving and cost-effective manner. These benefits can only be realized using an orderly and well-designed steel fabrication process.

CAD systems provide analytical 3D models for different stages of fabrication which results in more accurate detailing of materials, cost, labor productivity and project completion estimates.

The steel fabrication shop is a fully-equipped place having adequate resources to manufacture variety of steel components as per specifications. Although the fabrication process produces wide variety of steel components, the total production volume is quite small as compared to other manufacturing processes. Usually, material estimation and scheduling of a fabrication project depends heavily on steel detailers experience, domain knowledge and information provided in the construction drawings.

An accurate analysis of fabrication system is quite a difficult task given the complexity of steel components, involvement of various CAD tools, Material handling activities and interactions. The complexity attached with the process, competition and rapid growth of new fabrication techniques and materials demands for sophisticated and result-driven CAD tools to design, detail, estimate, schedule and control the fabrication process.

Steel fabrication may require a variety of machines and involvement of skilled man power in order to manufacture efficient and unique steel components. Simulation tools can be utilized to visualize almost any stage in 3D environment and render a real-life representation for better decision-making and reduce possible errors.
