With component lead times being extremely long in our industry today, every manufacturer is scrambling to increase capacity. Some need more space, some need additional equipment, some simply need a labor force that is willing to work all day every day. Mostly, these needs can be met with capital investment and a little time. What about design? How will you keep up with your increased capacity? The TrueBuild® software suite by Eagle Metal has the tools to give you a gain in efficiency.

Today’s component designer has evolved and continues to do so. Experienced design candidates have developed their habits already. There is a comfort in using what you know because change is hard. New candidates, with little to no experience, need software that is easy to learn and intuitive. TrueBuild® software utilizes Parametrics to ensure the most user-friendly and efficient experience possible. Parametrics enables live, real-time changes to appear in the model as they occur. The walls, planes, and even trusses will change with the model as referenced dimensions are adjusted.

There is no longer a need to redefine planes, re-profile trusses, or use messy construction lines to achieve your desired result after a dimension change. Changes are inherent to our industry. From custom work, to multi-family projects, to field-measured additions, there are going to be changes. Why continue to struggle with all the necessary steps to change existing work? Live 3D viewports enabled on placement plans let you express all the details necessary for hassle-free installation on the jobsite. All the information in one place with real time adjustments. What could be more efficient?

Today’s software has also evolved. TrueBuild® is developed in-house with the needs of today’s design staff at the forefront. It is developed to be the most efficient and user-friendly solution for component manufacturers across the country today. If you haven’t seen TrueBuild® lately, you have an opportunity to make a positive change in your design department. Contact us today for an in-depth look at these tools and much more.
