Siemens Tecnomatix FactoryCAD is a product from Siemens Digital Industries Software that enables authoring intelligent 3D models of facilities to support factory design, layout and installation. It helps teams build detailed factory models more efficiently by replacing manual drafting with smart objects that represent common factory resources and equipment.
FactoryCAD is a factory layout application built on Autodesk AutoCAD. Instead of drawing lines, arcs and circles, users work with smart objects representing factory resources such as conveyors, mezzanines, cranes, material handling containers and operators. These objects can be snapped together to assemble a layout model without spending time drafting equipment geometry from scratch.
FactoryCAD models can hold cost, performance and process information that can be used by other applications. Teams can import tooling and product data, generate 2D and 3D simultaneously and produce 3D output in JT format. The tool also supports bill of materials creation and the ability to create custom equipment objects.
Factory layout planning requires accuracy, speed and data continuity, yet traditional drafting methods are time-consuming and disconnected from downstream processes. Tecnomatix FactoryCAD exists to replace manual factory drawing with intelligent 3D layout modeling, enabling teams to design, evaluate and prepare factory installations more efficiently using data-rich objects.
