CNC, BIM & Tekla PowerFab Outputs
- KSS/KISS
- DSTV: NC, NC1
- DXF
- IFC
KSS, NC1, DSTV, DXF, and IFC files prepared from coordinated steel models.
We prepare CNC and BIM outputs that help connect detailing data with fabrication, plate processing, Tekla PowerFab, and coordination workflows. Files are generated directly from the coordinated steel model and checked against the drawing package, so your CNC and plasma equipment receives accurate data for producing the parts required for the project.
Built to Automate Your Fabrication Process
CNC and BIM files create problems when they do not match the latest drawings, are exported from outdated models, or require manual checking before use. In those cases, files that were supposed to save time end up slowing fabrication or creating errors in production.
We reduce that risk by keeping CNC files, model information, drawings, and Tekla PowerFab data connected to the same coordinated steel model.
Machine Processing
NC files transfer cutting, drilling, coping, and marking data directly to CNC equipment.
Plate Production
DXF files provide accurate profiles for plasma, laser, and other plate-cutting systems.
Production Efficiency
Machine-ready data reduces manual programming and speeds up the shop workflow.
Part Identification
Piece marks and production data help match fabricated parts with drawings and assemblies.
What You Receive
Depending on your needs, the package can include:
- NC1 files
- DSTV files
- DXF files for plates
- KSS files
- Roborail exports
- IFC steel model
- BIM steel detailing outputs
- Tekla PowerFab eXchange package
These files are typically prepared as related outputs to the shop drawing package, not as disconnected exports.
What Makes the Files Useful
Our CNC and BIM outputs are generated from the same coordinated model used for drawings, helping reduce manual checking, repeated data entry, and confusion between drawings, model information, and CNC files. That includes:
- Files exported from the coordinated model
- Clear naming and organization
- Alignment with shop drawings
- DXF files for plates where required
- NC1 / DSTV files for members
- IFC steel model for coordination use
Sample Output Files
Sample files show how the CNC and BIM outputs are structured and what information is included. Examples can include NC1 files, DSTV files, DXF drawings, DXF plate files, and IFC steel model exports.

Why Clients Use Our CNC & BIM Outputs
CNC and BIM outputs only work when they stay connected to the model and drawings they come from. If not, they create extra checking work, slow down fabrication, or lead to errors at the machine level.
Our process helps reduce that risk through coordinated modeling, drawing alignment, and file checks before release.
Model-Based Export
Outputs are generated from the steel model, not rebuilt manually.
Drawing Alignment
Files are checked against the related shop drawing package.
Clear File Structure
Outputs are organized for easier review and handoff.
Client-Specific Outputs
Files are tailored to your your equipment and shop standards.
