HOW TO

Streamlining workflow from Trimble’s EC-CAD to FabShop cutting software

By Emell Derra Adolphus
May 28, 2019

Amid rising construction costs and a shortage of skilled labor, prefabrication can be a contractor’s secret to cut costs, reduce waste and increase your bottom line. But in order for you to implement the full power of this process in your production, you’ll need to build a seamless workflow from your front office to the shop floor.

In a new video published on SNIPSmag.com, Randy Swaim, Trimble MEP product engineer and sales manager, show you how to simply streamline workflow from Trimble’s EC-CAD to FabShop cutting software.

Learn more by watching a special joint webinar between Trimble and Mestek Machinery for free at https://bit.ly/2Jhq0XC.
