ALCAD is a recognized leading provider of 2D/3D CAD software and solutions for industries involving AEC, MEP, Mechanical and Manufacturing, Electrical and Electronics, Civil Engineering, etc. ALCAD started developing the plugins (ALCADs Plugins) in 2013 for AutoCAD. After five years, in 2018 the time had come and the sale of ALCADs plugins started. In 2020, ALCAD acquired an OEM version from IntelliCAD. The result is the powerful and DWG-compatible CAD Software “ALCAD 2021 x64”. ALCAD currently employs 15 people, including CAD supporters, salesmanager and half of them programming developers.
The ALCADs plugins were developed based on long MEP engineering experience. The company consists of a group of four people who were formerly HVAC engineers. This composition of the team is reflected in the product – practical, efficient MEP solution .
ALCAD 2021 - powerful CAD application with 3D architecture features and a generous set of MEP plugins, ready to assist you in creating the most precise designs
Having a long experience with AutoCAD plugins, the developers of ALCAD decided to create a standalone MEP software solution. ALCAD allows the creation of simple to complex DWG-compatible designs in a working environment that should be familiar to users of AutoCAD and other CAD software, with a rich set of tools and options that give it reliability and power.
ALCAD is a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing software application that brings to the table a series of well-though plugins meant to help you create fully-functional, realistic and economical designs. Its versatility makes it suitable for various industries involving mechanical and manufacturing, electronics and electrical, architecture, engineering and construction.
Why Use ALCAD Software As CAD Programs
✔ AutoCAD DWG compatible
No data conversions, imports or exports. In ALCAD you work with drawings directly in DWG format. They are fully compatible with CAD users from various industries around the world.
✔ All ALCADs plugins (MEP) included
All ALCADs plugins are included and can be used. Regardless of whether you are working with ventilation ducts, underfloor heating, sewer pipes, with our plugins, you can solve any challenge.
✔ Permanent License
With the purchase you get a lifetime license. You can use the CAD program indefinitely, there are no hidden costs in the price. Future updates are available in the form of one-time upgrades.
✔ ALCAD 3D-Architecture
The 3D architecture functions are also included in the price. Easily create walls, stairs, doors, windows and much more in 3D or just for 2D use.
✔ Familiar user interface
ALCAD is designed to be as similar to AutoCAD as possible so that the user would not notice the differences between the two programs. The goal is to significantly reduce the time and money that would otherwise be required to retrain when switching to new software.
✔ BIM
ALCAD supports BIM. Various BIM formats are supported Rvt, Rfa, IFC, STEP, IGES, PDF, 3D PDF, DWF, 3DS, DAE, LWO, POV, Maya, OBJ, BMP, JPG, WMF, EMF, SVG
✔ PDF to DWG
The PDF2DWG tool included in ALCAD converts vector PDF engineering drawings into the DWG/DXF format as editable objects.
✔
Free Email Support & Multiple languages
Support is free of charge during the trial period and after purchasing ALCAD. ALCAD user interface is translated and supports several languages. Currently it supports* English, Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans), Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant), Czech – CS, Dutch – NL, French – FR, German – DE, Italian – IT, Korean – KR, Polish – PL, Portuguese – PT, Russian – RU, Spanish – ES.
Create underfloor
heating as easily as never before. First you create
the rooms, the heat zone and after that you can
automatically generate the floor heating pipes. Of
course, the floor heating can be perfectly solved
for every situation. No matter how complicated the
room geometries are, nothing is impossible with the
floor heating plug-in. Information such as pipe
lengths or room area can be inserted directly into
the CAD as a label or exported as an Excel file.
No more
constructing 2D lines! With the Drain-Pipes
plugin, sewer pipes can be designed as a
sketch and then generated in three line
processes. Enter the DUs (Design Units) of
the equipment to automatically calculate the
dimensions, or enter it manually. Create
device connections yourself and save them in
your settings. Everything that has been
designed can be exported as a material list,
parts list or labeled directly in the
drawing.
The creation of
ventilation systems is
hassle-free with the
plugin and saves a lot
of time. Enter your duct
and pipe manufacturer
directly so that the
order list can be
created and used
immediately after
construction. Devices
such as silencers,
exhaust air housings,
filter elements and much
more are also integrated
in the plug-in.
Automatic labeling is
also part of this.
Line by line
drawing is over. Multi-Pipes first inserts
pipe risers, and then you can automatically
tap the media and create an infinite number
of pipes together. The plugin was designed
and implemented based on the engineers’
years of experience. This guarantees a time
saving of up to 60%. Benefit from the wall
distance that you can enter in the plugin,
the simple move, the changing of the height,
and much more. The media can be adjusted as
required for line thickness, line type, line
color, etc. As in all plugins, the
properties can be changed at any time.
