New for TENADO METAL 3D:
Screw connection generator and more

For greater efficiency in metalworking 

Discover the highlights of the new TENADO METAL 3D update: the screw connection generator and the new “Fill with bars” function. These updated features enable users to design faster and more efficiently right away. 

TENADO METAL 3D – New: Screw connection generator + Fill with bars 

The new generation of TENADO METAL 3D aligns with modern industry standards for high-performance metalworking, bringing decisive improvements and innovations with the latest update.  
The highlights of this latest update: the screw connection generator and “Fill with bars” function. Both tools empower metalworking projects to use 3D CAD software faster and more efficiently than ever before. 

Highlights at a glance  

Precise and time-saving – the new screw connection generator from TENADO 

The screw connection generator allows components to be connected quickly and automatically. With just a few clicks in the intelligent generator field, the corresponding screw connections become visible directly in the model. Thanks to the 3D display, you can rotate, turn, and check new generations to spot errors or inconsistencies right away, before they waste valuable production resources. 
After opening the screw connection generator, users can select inlet and outlet surfaces to instantly see the corresponding drill holes. The results can be customized on the spot, with screw connections that perfectly match the intended design.  
The following options are available for quick and standard-compliant connection: 
Once the connection details have been determined, each component can be specified, customized, and edited for precise definition from the configuration window. For example, if the selected screws do not meet expectations, users can simply select other parts from the internal parts library, edit the model, and instantly review the results.

After selecting the desired configuration, users can confirm and update the design to allow TENADO METAL 3D to display the corresponding screw connection in the 3D live model. If the connection fits, it can be saved as a favorite and reused for later projects. This saves a lot of time in planning and design stages, especially for large projects.  
 Finished design data is transferred to the appropriate evaluations to be accessed and shared at any time by relevant parties. In this way, TENADO will be familiar to metal designers accustomed to working with the software for the metalworking industry. 
However, thanks to these automations, TENADO provides faster and more efficient design solutions than standard software tools. The new screw connection generator can be used universally for any project requiring bolt fasteners, such as a railing on a beam, a connecting element in steel construction, or a head plate that fastens beams to supports. No matter what you use these new TENADO METAL 3D tool for, they have the potential to speed up design, improve customization, and reduce error rates in projects of any size.

Metalworker and TENADO METAL 3D customer Lukas Brohammer demonstrates in the video exactly how the new screw connection generator can be used and what new possibilities it offers users.

One click, many bars – the new “Fill with bars” function from TENADO 

Another time-saver: the new function for filling contours. This makes planning and designing fillings, railings, stages, or platforms easier than ever. With just a few clicks, you can automatically fill defined contours with profile bars while still leaving plenty of room to customize the results as needed.
Many factors can be adjusted to match the needs of the project:
All important details are saved during the design process and can be found in the parts and sawing lists. Simply share the analysis and make collaboration with colleagues easy. The new “Fill with bars” tool makes 3D metal structure design more streamlined, cost-effective, and error-free.

Conclusion

The update for TENADO METAL 3D provides increased efficiency, greater design flexibility, and practical new functions to modern metalworking workflows. Metalworkers and designers rely on powerful 3D CAD software that significantly simplifies and accelerates daily design tasks. TENADO provides and updates these features with competitive new functionalities, helping you and your team improve your project workflow from start to finish.

Update FAQ

In addition to these highlighted updates and other minor bug fixes, the most frequently used tool, the railing generator, has been optimized. It now allows users to determine specific values for each segment of the railing. Favorites can now be saved and accessed at any time,
The bolt generator and the new “Fill with bars” function are definite time savers and performance boosters. Both features save users a lot of work on customizing and optimizing their designs by automating labor-intensive measuring and modeling functions.
With the new bolt generator, all bolts in a CAD metal construction can be created automatically. Users specify the crucial details, and the software does the rest.
This function enables the automated filling of defined contours. This means that users can now select a shape in their design to be filled with bars and let TENADO METAL 3D fill in the blanks. Factors such as number, spacing, etc. can be defined by the user.
