Event Review: Tekla Basecamp 2019

“Great to see Qnect’s progress”

“We look forward to working with you on this project”

“Safe travels home. See you in our office next month”

These were a few of the parting quotes a week ago as Tekla Basecamp 2019 was coming to an end. The week included a great gathering of talented engineers, detailers and fabricators...even a few GCs were in the audience. There were also great “exhibitors” to share the latest and greatest offerings to the Tekla users.

MSC Writes About Qnect

Scott Melnick, Editor of Modern Steel Connection (MSC), had some great observations about Qnect in the December issue. “The Qnect connection software promises substantial cost savings when used to optimize connection design. But the real advantage is the time it slashes from a project. What might take a fabricator and detailer weeks to develop can now be completed in hours.”

We share more in the recent Blog Post as well as other highlights from 2018. Take 3 minutes to read our Year in Review.
