CadFaster speeds up BIM conversations

"A drawback with most construction collaboration platform is that they mainly offer asynchronous collaboration – ie: dispersed “conversations” proceed like email exchanges, as a series of send-reply steps. Ideally, collaboration should be about real-time or synchronous exchanges with little or no time lag between individuals’ comments and recipients’ responses. Now on its fourth release, CadFaster | Collaborate enables exactly this kind of real-time (synchronous) collaboration regarding 3D designs developed in BIM, CAD and related applications."

Plug-in lets users review huge 3D CAD models, anytime, anywhere

"Because all stakeholders — including the end customer — can review models and communicate easily, design flaws are eliminated early-on. Facilitating a common understanding, the software helps everyone focus more on quality. Best of all, the software helps produce prototypes right the first time, so there’s no costly re-dos late in the process."

CadFaster Collaborate: Bridging the Desktop and the iPad

"In CadFaster for the iPad, you can do pretty much everything you can do with the executable file. Perhaps more important, CadFaster synchronizes comments between desktop and mobile apps, so if you add a comment on a shared document from your desktop, your collaborator who launches the same file on his or her iPad receives an alert, along with your comment."

CadFaster|Collaborate for Autodesk Revit 2011

"I was skeptical at first about whether the model review process needed yet another tool, but after using CadFaster|Collaborate for a few days, I was sold. It offers great potential to improve the design coordination process with dispersed team members and stakeholders. Highly Recommended."

"For me, this is actually the true meaning of collaboration as it allows geographically challenged teams to see and hear the same things. The product is set to get even better with an iPad version in beta. Cadfaster Collaborate is a great example of how cloud computing can benefit the design community."

SolidWorks World: Collaborative 3D iPad App? Yes. More About It. #SWW11

CADFaster. The Faster Way to Collaborate on SolidWorks and Revit Models.

"You are able to open a large data set, walkthrough, measure, and create section of the environment. All of this happens as you share the experience across the web – discussing, commenting and changing visual properties of the model as you walk about. It is nothing but impressive."
