The Challenge
Fox Scaffolding was dedicating an immense amount of time to drafting detailed scaffold designs for their projects. Every scaffold structure requires distinct dimensions and configurations, turning the manual CAD drafting of lengths, heights, computing required bays, and placing couplers into a tedious and error-prone necessity that drained engineering resources.
Our Solution: Custom UI and Drawing Generation
To eliminate this drafting bottleneck, Spher Technologies fully automated the scaffold design process. We engineered a customized automation system featuring a direct, dynamic user interface (UI).
Input-Driven Output
Instead of manually drawing lines and blocks, the user inputs critical project parameters into the UI—such as length of the base, height of the base, number of bays, and specifics around guard rails and couplers. Upon executing the command, the plugin dynamically creates a fully accurate and to-scale CAD drawing of the scaffold structure reflecting all entered criteria.
The Result
This streamlined approach empowered Fox Scaffolding to drastically cut down on drafting time, realizing a near 80% reduction in hours spent generating drawings for typical structures. The automated process ensures precision, minimizes human error, and allows engineers to deploy their time towards supervision and complex design edge-cases.
