## Reviews

### "HiCad vs Other 3D modeling software" — 5.0/5

> **Eka** | *13 July 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Handling complexity and three dimensional segments
> 
> **Cons**: Users are rare and hence we need to do inhouse training
> 
> Excellent tool. Perpetual license option leads cost of acquisition less . Capex vs Opex is moderate.

### "Sehr gutes Programm, für Fortgeschrittene und Profisgemacht." — 5.0/5

> **Valentin** | *27 August 2024* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Man ist völlig frei, was das Konstruieren angeht. Es wird sowohl freies Modellieren als auch Parametrik unterstützt. Stücklisten und Werkstattzeichnungen werden automatisch erstellt und bemaßt. Alles ist konfigurierbar. Kataloge lassen sich einfach erweitern. Der Kundensupport ist Spitze\!
> 
> **Cons**: Durch die vielen Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten wirkt es im ersten Moment unübersichtlich. Meistens passieren kleine Fehler, weil irgendwo ein Häkchen falsch gesetzt ist. Diese lassen sich aber problemlos im nachhinein ändern.
> 
> Ich bin Kunde seit 4 Jahren und kann nichts negatives sagen. Klar, der Preis wirkt im ersten Moment erschreckend hoch. Aber wenn man erstmal die Funktionen sieht und welches Potenzial erstmal in der Konstruktion steckt ist man überwältigt und der Preis ist gerechtfertigt. Dazu kommt der telefonische Support mit Personen aus der Praxis. Durch HiCAD mit seinen automatismen konnte ich die Konstruktionszeit im Metallbau um ein vielfaches reduzieren.

### "HiCAD - Powerful 3D Modeling software" — 5.0/5

> **Eka** | *25 February 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: HiCAD can cater to all our verticals ie Steel detailing / Sheet metal / Architectural design including Facade / Machine building / Plant layout. HiCAD could handle most complicated structures which could not be modeled in any other 3 D software in the world. The only 3 D software on perpetual mode
> 
> **Cons**: Not marketed vigorously and hence the capabilities are not known to industry
> 
> The best 3D modeling software. German Engineering in every level.

### "Het allround platform voor de echte CAD tekenaar" — 5.0/5

> **Léon** | *6 February 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zeer veelzijdig CAD systeem met branche overschrijdende functionaliteiten. Zeer sterk in de Plaatwerkende industrie en Staalbouw voor het automatisch genereren van productie tekeningen. Parametriseren en Constraints zijn eenvoudig aan te leggen en enkel daar waar nodig. Automatisering opties via C\# (Visual Studio) zijn eindeloos.
> 
> **Cons**: Meer dan 10 jaar geleden waren er kwaliteitsproblemen. Stabiliteit was slecht, klapte er vaak uit. Maar dat behoort gelukkig tot de verleden tijd.
> 
> Een allround systeem waarin ik in de loop tijd inmiddels 20 jaar veel ervaring mee heb opgedaan. Van Constructeur/ Tekenaar, Applicatie Consultant naar mijn eigen Technisch Teken-, en Adviesbureau. En dit alles dankzij en samen met HiCAD en HELiOS (PDM) van ISD.
