SDS/2 software solutions create smarter models that meet the exacting requirements of a diverse group of industries. Though SDS/2 software is primarily known among the industrial and commercial sectors, several other industries benefit from the 3D model and time savings that the software provides. Through years of servicing the steel manufacturing industry, SDS/2 has created an efficient and standard method to manufacture structures.
 
Design Data’s SDS/2 family of software provides solutions for several industries, including industrial, offshore, grating, plant design, commercial, military, mining and manufacturing, bridges, healthcare, and projects that go well “beyond the bolts.” Companies using SDS/2 products for industry-specific projects have infinitely improved their work processes and, in turn, their productivity and profitability.

SDS/2 software users have branched out over time to provide steel detailing, design and fabricating to a number of these industries.  Offshore platforms, conveyor systems, pipe racks, and support systems for large scale plate work, like air filtration systems, have all been modeled and fabricated from drawings created by SDS/2.

Model collaboration in every industry is tremendously important. Preventing clashing and involving sub-contractors early on in a project has great impact on meeting timelines for any project. SDS/2 software solutions can import and export a variety of model types for collaboration between disciplines. This interoperable functionality lends itself very well to the BIM process, LEAN construction and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).

SDS/2 software solutions are a complete suite of products that provide a better way to share and communicate vital information in any sector construction. If it can be modeled in SDS/2, then it can be built. Browse these industry pages to see examples of projects produced with SDS/2 software solutions.

Smarter models. Diverse solutions. Software that connects…to your industry.
