TENADO Brings Europe-Proven Metal CAD Software to the U.S. Market

For decades, U.S. fabricators have relied on mechanical engineering software that often necessitates tedious manual setups and repeated error-prone calculations. TENADO METAL 3D addresses these inefficiencies by focusing on specific trade needs, such as stair and railing design, structural components, and sheet metal fabrication. By automating routine tasks—including miter calculations, flat-pattern unfolding, and cut-list generation—the software allows shops to streamline production without increasing headcount.

Karlos Palmer, Senior Director of Product Management at Revalize, noted that many fabricators currently struggle with tools not built for their specific trade. The new platform aims to accelerate project turnaround by providing fabrication-ready outputs directly from the 3D model. Furthermore, the inclusion of an IFC interface ensures compatibility with modern BIM requirements, allowing seamless data exchange with architects and general contractors on commercial builds. The software is available immediately for U.S. customers looking to modernize their design-to-fabrication pipeline.
