PlantFCE overview

What is PlantFCE?

PlantFCE is a 3D modeling application designed for engineers, designers and project managers in the industrial and process engineering sectors.

PlantFCE's Model Builder comes with a library of pre-built 3D components, including industrial equipment and piping assemblies. Users can create custom models by adjusting dimensions, materials, and configurations to meet project-specific requirements. PlantFCE’s suite of cost estimation tools can be integrated with 3D models, including SmartMTO and Cost AI.

Model Builder allows teams to collaborate on designs in real time. Teams can export models directly for material takeoffs, cost analysis, and vendor requisitions, streamlining the project lifecycle. The application supports rendering and multiple export formats, enabling users to share models with stakeholders or use them in presentations and reports. It allows designers to include 3D models in project documentation, which can be used for visualization and communication of design intent within client presentations, vendor discussions, and internal approvals.
