Every steel project on earth, detailed at the speed of software.
fablnx reads your contract drawings, builds the 3D model natively in Tekla Structures, and sizes every connection to AISC 360 — in 4–8 hours, not 4–6 weeks.
Every steel building starts as 2,000 pages of drawings.
…and an army of people who redraw every single beam, by hand, before a fabricator can cut steel.
The finished model, taken apart — one drawing at a time.
Between design and steel, there is 4–6 weeks of manual work.
One project. Dozens of specialists. Zero software in the middle — a drawing packet crawls through five human stages before a single beam is cut.
Software never fixed this — for three reasons.
Unstructured PDFs
Drawings are pixels, not data — nothing to read programmatically.
Expert judgment
The rules that size a joint live in engineers' heads, not a spec file.
Fragmented tools
CAD ↔ Tekla ↔ spreadsheets — no thread runs end to end.
Construction tech grows 14% a year — yet only 12% of detailing is automated. The locks just broke.
The entire pipeline. Automated.
Drop the drawings
The contract PDF is the whole workflow. No setup, no export, no re-keying.
Read straight off the page
Members, grids and specs are parsed directly from the sheet — pixels become structured data.
The model builds itself
The full 3D model assembles natively in Tekla Structures — nothing rebuilt by hand.
Every joint, code-checked
Each connection is sized and checked to AISC 360 automatically — no hand calculations.
Delivered in any format
PDF, DWG, IFC, NC1 — whatever the client specifies, out the other end.
