Simple Product Design Software
Boise Cascade EWP software includes the following applications/services:
Create beautiful designs with your team. Use Canva's drag-and-drop feature and layouts to design, share and print business cards, logos, presentations and more. Computer-Aided Design Software. Every product development lifecycle is attached with a deadline to complete the task. This pressure is huge in this competitively growing market. Everyday new products are coming into the market making the older ones obsolete. Certain products comprise long development lifecycle times; for example, aircrafts. In fact, the product design process of this software is only in three simple stages: place, adjust, and combine. Use the Tinker CAD shapes to add or remove materials. Feel free to important your own shapes, or you know, you could just use the already existing ones. There is so much to learn – you may spend more of your time navigating the software than actually learning it. 3D modeling software is a must for a quality product designer, and TinkerCad is the perfect program to start with. TinkerCad was developed by Autodesk and is considered the best tool for learning the process of CAD modeling.
BC Calc® Sizing Software
BC Calc® performs engineering analysis to help our customers size beams, joists, columns, studs and tall walls for their building projects. It is simple to use, yet flexible enough to analyze a variety of common applications. The user enters the member geometry, adds loads, holes and other relevant data, then selects a product for analysis. The program helps the user identify which of Boise Cascade's engineered wood products (EWP) meet the demands of the application.
After the analysis has been run, the user can create an easy to read PDF design report that clearly shows important span and load information as well as the analysis results.
