Leica Launches CADWorx fieldPipe for Leica fieldPro3D

By DE Editors

Leica Geosystems (Heerbrugg, Switzerland) introduced a new product to the Plant and Process Industry - CADWorx fieldPipe for Leica fieldPro - for the creation of 3D plant models of existing piping systems as well as other plant items. At the same time, the newest edition of the mobile CAD software Leica fieldPro, version 1.3, hit the market. 

The new CADWorx fieldPipe for Leica fieldPro solution interfaces with Total Stations to capture piping spatial information to create full-scale specification-driven 3D models using COADE's CADWorx Plant Professional. Models are created in real-time, on-site, and without any post-processing.

CADWorx fieldPipe for Leica fieldPro uses Laser EDM technology onboard the Leica Geosystems' Total Station. To create as-built models, the user can set up the Total Station, point the laser at a piping item, and pick components from the toolbar, then the software places components in the model.

The CADWorx option, supplied by COADE Inc. (Houston, TX) through an OEM agreement, represents a full license of CADWorx Plant Professional which includes piping, steel, HVAC, cable trays, automatic isometrics, bills of material, and bi-directional links to stress analysis. This comprehensive option enables users to develop 3D plant models on site and in real time.
