St\u00f8ren Treindustri AS is one of Norway\u2019s biggest independent element factories, founded in 1969 and currently employing around 130 people. The St\u00f8ren Treindustri element factory has a production capacity for over 1000 element units and 80,000 trusses a year. St\u00f8ren Treindustri specializes in wood framing for residential buildings, producing prefab building elements (walls, floors, trusses, roofs) and other pre-cut wood structures.\u00a0<\/p>

Recently, St\u00f8ren Treindustri has seen a growing customer demand for enhanced digital co-operation across building disciplines \u2013 a trend we\u2019re seeing across the construction industry as a whole.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Marius Indrestrand, Pre-Cut & Element Designer, currently in charge of implementing Archicad and ArchiFrame at St\u00f8ren, explains how they are rising to the challenge with BIM: \u201cSince every project we deliver is unique, we believe that in order to stay competitive, it\u2019s imperative that we use BIM software that is not only flexible, but also helps us automate. With increasing project sizes, we needed software that allowed several designers to simultaneously work on the same project. When evaluating BIM software, we also paid close attention to its integration possibilities with other programs such as Solibri and FEM Design.\u00a0<\/p>

After a longer process of evaluating our needs, we chose Archicad with ArchiFrame as the base software for digitizing our workflow, using it to produce files for our factory. Plus, combining Archicad with ArchiFrame means that as soon as we get sent design files, we can get to work \u2013 our structural engineers do the calculations, ArchiFrame designers does the adjustments, and we \u201cprint\u201d the elements themselves in our factory\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Marius has been in charge of implementing ArchiFrame at St\u00f8ren, and is best placed to explain how ArchiFrame has helped St\u00f8ren remain competitive and innovative. Marius clarifies how ArchiFrame\u2019s features actually tipped the balance in Archicad\u2019s favor: \u201cOur primary usage of BIM software is to produce machine files and drawings for production. ArchiFrame is the reason we chose Archicad \u2013\u00a0 ArchiFrame expands the already flexible and user-friendly Archicad workflow with the production of necessary machining files (CNC) to be used in our highly automated factory. ArchiFrame being able to produce CNC files for Hundegger, Weinmann, Stromab, Randek machines straight out of the box was key for us. Also, we appreciate how versatile ArchiFrame is when it comes to tailored settings, with great future possibilities for process automation to speed up element design.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Another key reason to choose ArchiFrame was our ability to produce all our element types with the same software as well as ArchiFrame\u2019s ability to use architect IFC or PLN files as templates for element design. We needed a versatile software that could handle all the unique projects that we have, but at the same time automate necessary processes\u201d.<\/p>

Marius highlights the important ways in which this powerful software combo has enabled him and his colleagues to collaborate better with architects and harness data in a more efficient way:\u00a0 \u201cAnother reason for choosing Archicad was that architects like using Archicad! We value having everything in one file. If an architect has already spent up to several months perfecting a design, why waste time with an expensive re-draw phase? The whole point of BIM is to re-use data. In many projects we can now skip unnecessary re-draws altogether and provide speed and accuracy for our clients\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cOne of the reasons we prefer Archicad and ArchiFrame is the efficiency: we love automation and automated processes. Compared to other softwares we have seen, the level of automation is great. But automation only gets you so far, and that is where ArchiFrame\u2019s versatility comes in \u2013 you can seamlessly work in the projection, 2D or 3D having full flexible freedom down a single nailing\u201d.<\/p>

Marius finds that the layout of software is very versatile, meaning that the same tool can be used for many things. There is also a good amount of specificity of models and\u00a0 data, as well as accuracy and integration \u2013 all these key features make it a reliable ecosystem for designers to work in\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWe are still early in the process of implementing ArchiFrame at STI, but we can already see that ArchiFrame will help us with speeding up and digitizing our process of designing elements and how we collaborate with our customers\u201d.<\/p>

Marius\u2019s advice for other keen ArchiFrame testers?<\/p>

\u201cTry it out, ask questions to your reseller or the ArchiFrame team. See something you don\u2019t understand or functions that you miss? Ask about it. Right now, it\u2019s a really good software for producing elements, and it\u2019s only going to get better. For large-scale element production like ours it’s ideal, but I can also recommend to use it for smaller buildings even to just produce drawings and text-listing without the use of CNC.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
