Pressure is mounting in the facade and conservatory construction sectors: shorter project lead times, more complex geometries, and higher demands in terms of cost-effectiveness and material variety. Today, fabricators of aluminum, steel, and composite profiles with plastic in particular need tools that make this complexity manageable—without turning every design into a large-scale CAD project. Klaes 3D offers the solution for exactly this. This software combines design freedom with a continuous, digital workflow.
At the heart of this solution is an open, highly flexible data concept. Fabricators can upload their own profile systems, hardware, and construction details, or start with ready-made data packages and customize them. Systems made of aluminum, steel, and wood-aluminum can be displayed just as easily as plastic profiles—and, above all, can be freely combined with one another.
This is particularly important in constructions that use different materials, such as when load-bearing structures made of aluminum or steel are combined with thermally optimized plastic profiles. Once the solutions—such as a steel-composite bar, an aluminum window and frame construction, or a hybrid window and frame variant with plastic inserts—have been defined, they can be reused in all future projects. They automatically adapt to different angles, dimensions, and geometries.
All details can be worked out step by step in the master data. The result is visualized immediately. This allows, for example, various wall connections, fastening details, or profile combinations to be systematically reviewed and reliably standardized.
A key feature of Klaes 3D is the ‘3D X-ray view.’ Instead of creating time-consuming test setups, the fabricator can check all cuts and machining operations directly on the screen. The software follows the principle of ‘parameterization and visualization.’ With every change, the cutting lengths and angles of all aluminum, steel, and plastic profiles adjust immediately. Joint, edge, and connection details are clearly visible in the cross-section and in the 3D overview. Fillers and glazing adjust automatically when dimensions or other grids are changed.
When it comes to load-bearing steel and aluminum structures, inspecting the connections, joints, and reinforcing elements is of crucial importance. Klaes 3D accurately renders these geometries and provides clarity on even complex details—from steel reinforcement to the combination of aluminum profiles with plastic cladding panels. This ‘workshop on the screen’ reduces errors, ensures construction quality, and saves time during preparation and production.
Klaes 3D Facade complements the commercial-technical workflow. The extension covers the entire process: from order and planning to cost estimation, production, and installation. An important feature for metal fabricators and system providers is that they can also change the material type for finished structures with a single click—for example, from wood-aluminum to pure aluminum, from aluminum to steel, or to a combination variant with plastic profiles.
The software calculates prices based on realistic dimensions and all relevant details. This allows for the cost-effective comparison of different material combinations without having to redesign each variant. This simplifies the consultation process, ensures transparency for the client, and provides additional flexibility during bidding and renegotiations.
Klaes 3D ensures consistent data—from design and production to installation. The 3D model automatically generates optimized production lists for aluminum, steel, and plastic profiles, as well as glass and profile lists containing all cutting data, machine programs via Klaes CAM, and installation documents with structured installation steps.
Especially in metal fabrication, where material costs are high, the precise, automated calculation of cut lists pays off. Errors in lengths or angles are identified early on, reducing waste and rework. The integration with CNC systems enables a continuous digital production flow.
Conclusion: Klaes 3D is tailored to the practical needs of companies that work with aluminum, steel, and composite profiles with plastic for facades, as well as for other structures such as greenhouses, pergolas, patio covers, or fully glazed sliding structures. The system combines flexibility in material selection, precision in detail design, and a continuous digital workflow—from the initial concept to on-site installation.
