Class Summary Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an established and successful approach in architecture,

engineering, and construction, but how does that include the manufacturing industry? There are many common communication vehicles for architecture and construction, but what about manufacturing? How do we include the manufacturing community in the collaboration cycle to promote more accurate, cost-efficient fabrication models? The other problem faced in the BIM world is how do we actually communicate with one another? There is no clear standard for the BIM community, and the addition of manufacturing only adds further challenge. In this class, we’ll discuss the opportunities from a business perspective.

Because of BIM, we’ve needed as a manufacturer, to learn how to share project model essentials with the entire BIM project team, but still keep our product specific “detail” outside of the project model simply because the information we need is not germane to the overall project model and requirement. Because of these challenges and the others I’ve mentioned in the outline, we figure if we have these challenges, others must too!
