Fachwerk & Fachwerk 3D

CAD software focused on timber frame and post-and-beam architectural design, allowing architects and engineers to efficiently model and analyze complex timber structures.

What is Fachwerk & Fachwerk 3D?

Fachwerk & Fachwerk 3D are specialized CAD (computer-aided design) software programs developed specifically for designing timber frame, post-and-beam, and other wooden architectural structures. They are made by a company called Cadwork and have been industry-leading solutions in this niche field for over 25 years.

Some key features of Fachwerk & Fachwerk 3D include:

• Intuitive modeling tools for quickly laying out complex joinery and structural elements
• Extensive libraries of parametric joints, braces, rafters, and other framing components
• Automatic generation of construction drawings, cut lists, and CNC manufacturing data
• Integrated analysis for structural loading, deformations, etc.
• Photo-realistic rendering with custom wood textures
• Support for importing reference models from other CAD programs

By specializing solely on timber construction, Fachwerk & Fachwerk 3D can incorporate many domain-specific tools you would not find in general-purpose CAD software. This makes it much easier for architects, engineers, carpenters, and other specialists to efficiently design and analyze a wide range of wood-based buildings - from simple backyard sheds to intricate medieval structures with complex joinery. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the time savings typically outweigh that initial ramp-up time.
