SCHULLER&Company - bocad turns 40 years !

03.11.2023

This is how it all began: At the Chair of Steel construction at the Ruhr University in Bochum, the first ideas for computer-aided 3D modeling were developed to facilitate the drawing and especially the fabrication of Steel Construction.

In the age of punch cards, a revolution!

 

The vision of 3D software for fabrication coupled with collaboration with a large Steel Construction workshop in Belgium gave rise to bocad.

 

Since its foundation, bocad has enabled the detailed drawing and the fabrication of thousands of Steel Construction projects, with always perfect results and ever shorter deadlines.

 

We have always faced the increasing demands of the Steel Construction sector and have continuously developed bocad.

 

Initially focused on steel, the range of applications has expanded to include all trades in the construction including structure and envelope. This is possible thanks to a growing competent team and close cooperation with customers and users.

 

Bocad has been from the beginning the leading software intended for the detailed drawing and fabrication of traditional structure, offshore platforms, transmission and telecommunication tower, bridges, residential and industrial buildings up to extraordinary architectural constructions such as the Liège-Guillemins train station, the shopping center Médiacité in Liège, the European Council in Brussels, the Louis Vuitton Paris Foundation, the Occulus station in New York, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

 

Bocad is one of the first CAD/CAM software intended for structure, it is constantly evolving and still inspires the large community of users:

 

“Right from the start, I saw the power of this “old” software. The years have passed, I have seen other software arrive on the market... But even today, in 2023, people are dazzled when I briefly explain to them the possibilities of this CAD/CAM software. »
