Client Background

Our client is a Human-based real estate design and development company. They are dedicated to designing and developing environmentally friendly, innovative and practical commercial and residential projects. They have been committed to high quality, smart, integrative, cost-effective planning and design.

Pain Points

Our client is currently using software that can perform mold turning work, but the software is not easy to use, mainly for the following reasons:

  1. The software is not intelligent enough, and the requirements for the standardization of drawings are relatively high. After obtaining the drawings from design institutes, a large number of drawings need to be modified. The construction is difficult to achieve the desired structure.
  2. The modeling process can not effectively find the errors and omissions in the drawings, and thus loses the ability to review the drawings in the bim modeling process.
  3. The mechanical and electrical installation can not be modeled.

Solution

Mans International found a Toronto-based 3D automatic modeling company. They designed an automated system using artificial intelligence technologies that can generate 3D models based on 2D information to replace traditional 3D modeling tools, and can greatly reduce modeling costs and effectively improve model accuracy.

Pain Points of 3D Modeling

  • High cost and long work cycle: The production of 3D models must be operated by a professional technical team to convert the graphic design drawings into the BIM (Building Information Model) form of the 3D model. The fatal disadvantage of this conversion mode is that the modified work cycle is long and costly.
  • Outdated 3D file versions: The 3D model constructed often does not completely match the actual design due to changes in requirements, personnel changes, human errors, and other factors during the modeling process.

Optimization of software and hardware configuration: Because the optimization of computer software and hardware configuration is not considered during the production of general 3D models, the produced model must be viewed on a computer equipped with an advanced graphics card and CPU, and cannot be demonstrated on web pages or mobile terminals

Market Opportunity

With the promotion of automation and 3D technology, 3D modeling and related BIM production have gradually become one of the necessary processes in various engineering industries, including but not limited to architectural design, fire protection, electricity, heating, and air conditioning. According to a report from Grand View Research Inc., the global 3D computer-aided design software market is expected to reach USD 13.04 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period (2019-2025).

AI-Powered 3D Automatic Modeling Solution

An automated system using artificial intelligence technologies that can generate 3D models based on 2D information to replace traditional 3D modeling tools, and can greatly reduce modeling costs and effectively improve model accuracy.

Features

Automatically:

  • read 2D design drawing information (including details in design drawings such as labels, walls, pipes, etc.) and convert it into 3D models.
  • add equipment information to generate material lists to achieve the goal of reducing labor costs and reducing error rates.
  • identify conflicts and defects in the original design and propose amendments to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the design according to design rules and industry requirements.
