Let SPOOLCAD work for you

SPOOLCAD is the perfect pipe spooling and fabrication software for a wide range of users:

Piping Fabricators

Draw pipe spools and let your shop build them with confidence as it conforms to your customer's project specs.

Owner-Operator

Owner-Operators can create fabrication-ready spool drawings in-house to conform to their exact standards. When transmitted to the pipe fabricator, they safeguard the accuracy and expedite construction.

Independent Welder & Inspectors

Draw isometrics and spools at the office or onsite and send for fabrication-ready drawings to the shop without the need to be redrawn—saving steps and assuring accuracy.

Engineering Contractor (EPC)

Efficiently manage and track the progress of the drafting and construction of piping systems with minimal cost and minimal errors from projects ranging in size, users, and complexity.

Spool drawing

SPOOLCAD is the premiere spool drawing software with a wide range of features for improved drawing capabilities, improved accuracy, and optimal efficiency.

Fast drafting of accurate and detailed pipe spool drawings ready for fabrication
Pipe spec-driven for design accuracy to reduce costly mistakes on the shop floor
Project managed to ensure customer standards are followed: define project approved pipe specs, drawing appearance, weld gaps schedules, drawing borders and location to store project files
Passive background piping design checker alerts user when straying from correct piping design protocols
Automated isometric dimensioning with sub-dimension feature for small fitting outlets
Automatic BOM generation with pipe cut lengths and individual fittings to accommodate heat number variance
Welds lists generating and tagged on each weld in the drawing
Comes with industry standard border drawings adaptable for each project

Collaborate

Facilitate collaboration with SPOOLCAD's project management tools that help spread vital project data throughout your business. Output your data in multiple file types for greater accessibility, communication, and teamwork.

Generate comprehensive global lists for BOMs, weld maps, weld counts, labor codes
Calculate weld diameter-inches, spool weights and paint surface area
Save output files in multiple formats: drawing (DWG), CSV (for use by programs like Excel), Web (HTML) and text (.TXT) files
Share project drawings with your customers:
- Drawing files saved in the industry-standard DWG™ file format
- Print PDFs of your spool drawings

Manage materials

Accurate material reporting ensures materials are ordered on time and correctly charged to each customer's project. Generate material reports for the entire project, a single or a group of spools (or drawings), or report by line number(s). Create material reports in any of the following formats:

Advantage BOM included

The SPOOLCAD SUITE also includes Advantage BOM as a cost-effective bundled solution for your company's material costing needs.

During the bidding stage, Advantage BOM allows you to generate a variety of global BOM reports from customer-supplied PCF or IDF files. This will help you accurately estimate project material costs and avoid costly shortfalls or inflated, uncompetitive quotes.

Using supplied project data to work with makes the difference between winning the contract and completing it profitably.

Advantage BOM reports can be customized to fit specific parameters, including:

BOMs for individual spool drawings
Global BOMs for multiple spool drawings or all the spool drawings in the project
BOMs for selected materials like stainless steel
