GF partners with MagiCAD Group to launch extensive BIM object library

GF, a global superior water and flow solutions provider for industries and infrastructure , has partnered with MagiCAD Group to develop an extensive BIM object library for MagiCAD Cloud. This collaboration will provide MagiCAD users with easy access to a wide selection of digital products for GF’s pipes and fittings.

GF has been a valued long-term partner of MagiCAD Group, and we are delighted that they continue to place their trust in us to support their ongoing digitalisation journey.

The BIM object creation project reflects GF’s commitment to supporting the digital transformation in construction industry. As the industry increasingly embraces BIM for its ability to enhance project coordination and efficiency, GF recognizes the value in offering high-quality digital representations of their products.

The newest additions to GF’s BIM object database on MagiCAD Cloud will cover their COOL-FIT portfolio. With this database, MagiCAD users will be able to incorporate precise, detailed versions of GF’s products into their designs, ensuring better accuracy and efficiency across all stages of project planning and execution.

“The development of this comprehensive BIM object library for our pre-insulated piping portfolio with MagiCAD Group represents a significant milestone in advancing digital innovation and enhancing the quality of service we provide to our customers”, says Felix Sandt, Regional Business Development Manager Cooling at GF.

Why MagiCAD Group’s fittings outperform alternatives and benefit GF

MagiCAD Group’s BIM objects for fittings provide significant advantages over generic alternatives by enhancing user experience and ensuring real-world compatibility.

Equipped with shared parameters and advanced functionalities, these fittings streamline the design process with features like easy orientation swaps. Unlike generic fittings that allow unrealistic sizes and angles, MagiCAD fittings ensure accuracy by aligning with real-life products, reducing errors and saving time. They also include technical data, z values, for calculations. These fittings benefit MagiCAD users, offering smooth workflows, reliable data, and designs that match real-world conditions, making them a superior choice for design projects.

“We’re proud to see GF as an advocate for digital transformation, providing customers with BIM objects that support the construction industry’s shift towards more digital, efficient, and sustainable practices, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration,” says Ina Keinonen, Sales & Marketing Manager at MagiCAD Group.
