ISD Group : Partners

Powering the complete digital workflow - from measurement to manufacturing.

At ISD Group US, we partner with leading technology companies to deliver a fully connected design-to-production ecosystem. Our partners help bridge the gap between real-world data capture, engineering design, and fabrication, allowing our customers to work faster, smarter, and with greater accuracy.

Our core partners — FARO, Forterro, 3A Composites,  and FLEXIJET — are global leaders in their fields and integrate seamlessly with HiCAD across steel, façade, glazing, and fabrication workflows.

Faro - 3D Measurement, Scanning, & Reality Capture

Precision data for design, verification, and fabrication.

FARO is a global leader in 3D measurement, laser scanning, and reality capture technology. FARO solutions allow you to digitally capture real-world conditions and bring them directly into HiCAD for modeling, coordination, and fabrication-ready design.

What FARO enables with HiCAD:

  • Import point clouds and scan data into HiCAD projects
  • Model directly from existing conditions
  • Validate fabrication designs against as-built environments
  • Improve accuracy, reduce site errors, and minimize rework

Ideal for:

  • Curtain wall & façade projects
  • Structural steel and industrial plants
  • Quality control and verification workflows

Key Benefits:

  • Accurate as-built data inside your design environment
  • Faster modeling from real-world conditions
  • Reduced site visits and costly mistakes
  • Better coordination between engineering, design, and fabrication

Forterro – Digital Manufacturing Solutions (LogiKal by Orgadata)

Forterro is a global industrial software group delivering specialized solutions for manufacturing and fabrication. Through Forterro, LogiKal by Orgadata continues to serve as the world’s leading software platform for window, door, and façade construction. Together with HiCAD, this creates a powerful bridge between 3D engineering design and fabrication-ready production intelligence.

What Forterro (LogiKal) Enables with HiCAD:

The integration between HiCAD and Forterro’s LogiKal software connects 3D engineering design with specialized façade and window manufacturing workflows, allowing project data to flow from concept through production without re-creating information.

  • Enterprise-grade manufacturing support

FLEXIJET – Digital Measuring Systems

From jobsite to model — instantly.

FLEXIJET develops portable digital measuring systems used worldwide for capturing accurate site dimensions. FLEXIJET devices allow users to measure complex geometries directly on site and transfer them into CAD environments.

With HiCAD, FLEXIJET enables a true field-to-design workflow — eliminating manual sketches and measurement errors.

What FLEXIJET enables with HiCAD:

  • Capture site geometry digitally

  • Transfer measurements directly into CAD workflows

  • Build accurate base models before engineering begins

  • Accelerate renovation and retrofit projects

Ideal for:

  • Custom glazing and architectural metal
  • Stairs, railings, and bespoke fabrication
  • Interior architectural and specialty contractors

Key Benefits:

  • Faster site surveys

  • Fewer measurement errors

  • Reduced rework and remakes

  • Better coordination between site teams and designers

3A Composites - Architectural Cladding Materials & Facade Solutions

High-performance materials meet engineering intelligence.

3A Composites is a global leader in architectural cladding materials and façade panel solutions, widely known for brands such as ALUCOBOND®, DIBOND®, and LARSON®. Their materials are used worldwide in ventilated façades, rainscreens, signage, and architectural envelope systems.

Together, HiCAD and 3A Composites support a complete cladding workflow — from material-aware engineering and panelization to detailing, fabrication, and installation documentation.

What 3A Composites Enables with HiCAD:

By combining HiCAD’s advanced façade modeling and detailing tools with 3A Composites’ architectural panel systems, teams can design cladding projects that are both visually precise and fabrication-ready.

Ideal for:

  • Cladding and façade contractors
