| Problem: |
Creating
laboratory designs/layout was a time-consuming and tedius
process marked by the fact that the Scientists could not
easily evaluate 2D plans for suitability. |
| Solution:
|
Mill
Creek Systems was selected to develop a 3D/2D Casework
Design System to allow an architect or designer to
quickly design a 3D lab layout which is visually presented
for approval...
Then
the tools allow the designer to create 2D
construction drawings and a materials takeoff. |
