All-in-one offer for 3D embedded parts in online catalogue

Precast construction is no longer imaginable without embedded parts. They enable increasingly more possibilities for fixing, connecting, transporting parts, etc. This entails, on the other hand, more complex planning in dimensioning and design. Planners are making increasing use of three-dimensional design and create models of the precast parts from geometrical elements, reinforcement, and embedded parts. But structural engineers have little time to invest in the creation of embedded parts, since this takes time that they need for other jobs during tightly scheduled project phases.
