FRAMECAD & FRAMEMASTER
The FRAMECAD design and sustainable building process
incorporates the intelligence of the FRAMECAD system and
FrameMaster manufacturing equipment.

Engineered for productivity and profitability

The new FRAMECAD F300i and F315i The FRAMECAD F300i and F315i systems
have been designed to be world leading are designed for manufacturers of framing
light steel frame manufacturing plants. and trusses across many applications,
With high throughput, reliability, ease typically producing 89mm or 150mm C
of maintenance and simple operation profiles. With a gauge range of between
a focus of the design, these new .55mm and 1.2mm, the new F300i and F315i
integrated manufacturing plants will machines offer flexibility as stand alone plants
deliver high productivity, high quality and or in multiple machine configurations for a broader
accurate output. range of manufacturing options (profile and gauge
ranges are model dependent).

FRAMECAD now offers a better option for reliable, fast and

flexible end-to-end steel frame design and build solutions
across a wide range of construction applications:

• Residential and affordable housing

• Workforce accommodation
• Truss production
• Portable and modular buildings
• Commercial and industrial construction
• Internationally certified building system

Integration for perfect automation

By integrating FRAMECAD Factory machine
control systems on the FRAMECAD manufacturing
equipment with advanced FRAMECAD design
software, we have achieved a building system that
is automated in the most intelligent way.
